The Targaryens are the dragon-riding, incest-loving rulers of Westeros in Martin\u2019s books and HBO\u2019s \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d universe, which includes the prequels \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d and \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe history of Aegon I Targaryen was told in Martin\u2019s \u201cFire and Blood\u201d book, which chronicled the rises and falls of the various Targaryen kings. The original Aegon was the first to unite the kingdoms of Westeros under one ruler. He forged the Iron Throne from the melted weapons of his enemies and lorded over the land with his two sister-wives and queens, Visenya and Rhaenys. After his death, his heirs continued to serve as kings for many generations (with many of them also named Aegon). <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cGame of Thrones: Aegon\u2019s Conquest\u201d will be written by Beau Willimon, who was previously the showrunner of Netflix\u2019s \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d and a writer on Disney+\u2019s hit \u201cStar Wars\u201d show \u201cAndor.\u201d The \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d world continues this summer with Season 3 of \u201cHouse of the Dragon,\u201d plus HBO ordered a second season of \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d movie now has a working title, \u201cGame of Thrones: Aegon\u2019s Conquest.\u201d The new name&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[232746,88,256324],"class_list":{"0":"post-585670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-cinemacon","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-game-of-throne"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
