Cregan Stark from House of the Dragon season 2 and a Targaryen dragon

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary House of the Dragon season 2’s premiere subtly retconned House Stark’s history from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire universe. Based on Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon takes place during the Targaryen civil war that became known as the Dance of the Dragons.

With most of the seven kingdoms already under the dragons’ wings, the King of the North and his bannermen marched south against the Targaryen. However, once Torrhen realized how large Aegon’s army had grown with the support of Riverlords, westermen, stormlanders, and men of the Reach, not to mention the three dragons, the King of the North reconsidered his plan. Some Northener lords advised Torrhen to attack anyway, whereas others wanted him to retrieve.

Torrhen bending the knee in the Trident was the first of several instances in which things did not end well for a Stark in the South, particularly when the Targaryens were involved. Rickard and Brandon Stark were executed by Aerys Targaryen, also known as the Mad King, after they marched to King’s Landing following the abduction of Lyanna Stark by Rhaegar Targaryen. Ned Stark found a similar fate, having been executed in King’s Landing by Joffrey Baratheon.
