The text of the video about the Prince that was promised

In the prehistory of “Game of Thrones” – the TV series “House of the Dragon” – the authors conduct a dialogue with viewers through the phrases of the characters. In their words, you can find answers to the questions that remained from “Game of Thrones”, including who he is – the Prince that was promised.

Rhaenyra: “From my blood come The Prince That Was Promised”

The prince is being sought among the noble Targaryens. However, it is worth paying attention to the phrase of Viserys:

Viserys: “I said to him: “Well, I believe you might be looking up the wrong end!””

This separate phrase, unrelated to the episode, is a clue for viewers.

Let’s try to look the other, the right end.

Viserys: “There’s something else that I need to tell you. It might be difficult for you to understand, but you must hear it”.

Daemon: “We fucked our way through most of the brothels on the Street of Silk”

Rhaenyra: “Were I born a man, I could bed whomever I wanted. I could father a dozen bastards, and no one in your court would blink an eye.” – “You are right”.

The authors draw the viewers’ attention to the fact that Targaryen blood flows in a huge number of bastards.

Mysaria: “I could bring in another. Perhaps a maiden. I have several. I could even arrange one with silver hair.”

Most likely, this maiden is a daughter of Daemon or Viserys.

In the screensaver, the authors symbolically show how gradually the Targaryen blood from the crown of Aegon the Conqueror spreads throughout Westeros from castle to castle and along the roads and can end up in anyone. The Targaryen blood flows down in stormy flows. And in three hundred years, it seems, the whole of Westeros has dragoned. The strength of dragons passes from kings to common people. Fire is a symbol of strength. And representatives of the House of Targaryen in the struggle for the throne destroy each other, as can be seen on the emblem of Daenerys, where dragons devour each other.

Rhaenyra: “The only thing that could tear down the House of the Dragon was itself”.

In the Flea Bottom among the poor, the authors show a bastard who may also be an ancestor of the Prince that was promised.

“Aegon’s?” – “One of many, I’d wager”.

And in «Game of Thrones» there are possible descendants of Aegon: Gilly and Little Sam.

“He has your hair, Your Grace” – Viserys: “He does have my hair” — “He has your eyes, Your Grace” — Viserys: “Yes, he does”.

Little Sam is a son of Gilly and Craster, in whose family the purity of blood is preserving, like the Targaryens.

Dolorous Edd: “He marries his daughters, and they give him more daughters. And on and on it goes”.

Daemon: “The blood of the dragon runs thick”.

Also in «Game of Thrones» they show that a king or a prince can be chosen.

Tyrion: “From now on, rulers will not be born. They will be chosen”

Sansa: “He can’t father children”

Tyrion: “You can’t have children, but there are other ways of choosing a successor”.

In exchange for life, Craster promised to give his sons to the Night King, who through the initiation rite, with a touch, as it were turns them into living heirs growing up to replace him – that is, princes. Ice Crown is a hint.

It turns out that they are all the Princes that were promised.

And all of them are given – except Little Sam. Therefore he’s being persecuted.

Gilly: “It’s come for the baby”

The Night King chose the sons of Craster for a reason: because if they have the blood of Targaryens, that is dragons, then after the touch of the Night King, they combine ice and fire.

“For dragons are fire maid flesh”.

Rhaenyra: “And his will be the Song of Ice and Fire”.

“This secret has been passed from king to heir since Aegon’s time”.

The dagger of Aegon the Conqueror is the symbol of the prophecy about the Prince that was promised.

The dagger passes to Aegon, who knows nothing about the prophecy, that is, the Targaryens cease to control it.

Viserys: “Aegon foresaw the end world of men. It is to begin with a terrible winter gusting out of the distant north… When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra, all of Westeros must stand against it. And if the world of men is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne…”

In the TV series «Game of Thrones», Cersei Lannister sat on the Iron Throne, and the Great Winter (or the Long Night) never came, that is, Aegon’s prophecy has not yet come true. Just like the prophecy:

Melisandre: “The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas.”

Viserys: “Aegon called his Dream “The Song of Ice and Fire””.

The first episode of «House of the Dragon», as well as the TV series «Game of Thrones», ends with the composition «A Song of Ice and Fire», which assumes the continuation of the story of the characters.
