Now that House of the Dragon has jumped even further in time, the fight over the Iron Throne became a lot clearer after Driftmark's future came into question in the struggle between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Queen Alicent, thanks to Vaemond Velaryon.
Who Is Vaemond Velaryon?While Corlys Velaryon rules the seat of Driftmark and is known on the battlefield as the Sea Snake, his younger brother Vaemond serves as part of his council. But as the second born, he has no true claim to the seat of Driftmark when Corlys suffers a grave injury in battle. Of course that doesn't stop him, knowing that the only known sons of Corlys' heir Laenor could be bastards, and the episode sees him petition a claim to become the new lord of Driftmark.
Does Vaemond Velaryon Die?After a late-night plea from Rhaenyra to her father, Viserys makes a shocking appearance at the petition to deny Vaemond his claim, disrupting the plans of Alicent and Otto and giving a major show of support for Rhaenyra; he rules that her son Lucerys Velaryon is still meant to claim the seat of Driftmark as was intended by the Sea Snake and Vaemond's brother, Corlys Velaryon.
How Does Vaemond's Death Affect the Dance of Dragons?This execution swiftly hastens the inevitable conflict over the Iron Throne, as Viserys' support of Rhaenyra forces Otto and Alicent to reconsider their strategy to rebuke Rhaenyra's claim as Queen. Although there is a moment of tranquility between the two sides, it doesn't prevent anything from exploding with the blaze of dragonfire.
