If you've spent any time as a fan of the "Game of Thrones" universe, you know how tangled character networks and family trees can get. This is especially the case when it comes to the Targaryens, the twisted, intermarriage royal family of dragon riders whose history is explored in the prequel series, "House of the Dragon".
If you're wondering if Daenerys, Jon Snow, or the Mad King will be in 'House of the Dragon', the answer is no. Based on the book "Fire and Blood" by George R.R. Martin, the spin-off series is set centuries before the events that unfold in "Game of Thrones." It chronicles an era of civil war among the Targaryens over a disputed succession to the Iron Throne.
To help you keep track of who's who, we're breaking down the most important Targaryens you should know. From main characters like Rhaenyra, Daemon and Viserys to a reminder of how the Targaryen dynasty plays out in 'Game of Thrones' centuries later, keep this handy to help keep track of all the main players, including including Viserys and Alicent's son, Aegon, who viewers first meet in episode three.
Here is a representation of the entire Targaryen family tree according to the books (the TV series "Game of Thrones" brings slight changes), starting with Aegon the Conqueror and working all the way down to Jon Snow.
