Go home, Renly (Gethin Anthony), youre drunk.
Centuries prior, however, things were a little different.
Who Are Aegons Heirs?
The only person for whom everything remained exactly the same was King Viserys, whose health was rapidly declining.
The next in line, following Jahaerys, is Aegons younger brother, Aemond.
And, following Aemond… Well, thats where things begin to get complicated.

But then theres the matter of Rhaenyra.
Chances are they would never have to make such a choice.
What we also know fromFire & Blood, is that Helaena will give birth to another son named Maelor.

Its nothing drastic: Maelor would simply occupy the empty spot between Aegon and Aemond.
However, this isnt the only complication in Aegons line of succession.
In this case, he would be the one to inherit the throne if his brother died.

Which of Rhaenyras Children Is the Crown Prince?
Rhaenyras first three children were allegedly fathered by hernot-so-late husband, Laenor Velaryon (John Macmillan).
That way, the two original heirs of King Viserys could get married and have children of their own.

If something happens to Aegon, its young Viserys turn.
What if Rhaenys Had Been Chosen Queen?
But if she had been chosen as queen, who would be her heir apparent?

But would the lords of Westeros support her claim, or would they prefer to have Laenor as king?
In her place, the lords of medieval England chose to crown her cousin, Stephen.
