The events of the episode once again saw Rhaenyra feeling exposed, even though she'd taken a huge gamble by announcing the Harwin Strong rumors out loud in front of the queen. We know Rhaenyra and Daemon openly spoke of getting rid of Laenor so that they could marry and Rhaenyra could feel more protected united with her own Targaryen blood. Side Quest: What now becomes of Laenor's dragon Seasmoke (who we saw Laenor riding in the War for the Stepstones)? Will it ever be able to bond with a new rider considering Laenor is still alive? Whose Plan Was It? Sure, Ser Qarl's name was now soaked in infamy, but for one planning to reinvent himself and live a brand new life that's a meager shame to endure. Because the two had started fighting in front of a witness, Ser Qarl would be the culprit, but it wouldn't matter ultimately since the Qarl and Laenor would flee Driftmark together. Laenor sneakily survived, however, by burning up the corpse of a guard in a fireplace and passing it off as his own. On House of the Dragon, with a few tweaks (it was in High Tide, for Laena's funeral), the 'story' remained intact. But Ser Laenor, by all rights, according to history, was 'stabbed to death by Ser Qarl Correy while attending a fair in Spicetown on Driftmark.' The two men had 'been loudly arguing in public beforehand.' Rumors and theories swirled, naturally, but nothing was ever settled upon.

Game of Thrones killed off plenty of people who are still alive in the books (most of which are because the book series is unfinished, of course).

In fact, when TV changes are made regarding Game of Thrones deaths, it usually goes the opposite way. Obviously there's always wiggle room and space for interpretation (especially since Fire and Blood offers up, at times, different accounts and perspectives for events) but once thing that's untouched are those who've died. Since these events took place hundreds of years previous, there's an immutable quality to them. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House of the Dragon comes from Martin's Fire and Blood, which is an account of Targaryen history. Unlike Game of Thrones, which was based on George R. Laenor Velaryon: Surviving Fire and Blood Laenor is the first House of the Dragon character to cheat his 'historic' fate.

As he and his lover (and would-be 'murderer') Ser Qarl Correy rowed off to their getaway vessel, one couldn't help but think that this was the life Ser Criston Cole wanted with Rhaenyra a decade earlier: one where they could freely be together far away from Targaryen turmoil. Laenor was given a gift here, considering the awful alternative, of secret exile. You fake your own death, leaving your family, the realm, and history to believe you've brutally perished.Īs we get closer and closer to inevitable civil war on House of the Dragon, where many bodies will drop, it's important to examine what became of Ser Laenor Velaryon (played by third Laenor actor, John Macmillan), husband-of-convenience to Princess Rhaenyra (played now by Emma D'Arcy). Well, the most recent episode of House of the Dragon, 'Driftmark,' introduced a new, third thing. It's said that when you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.
