An Animated Telling of The Dance of Dragons | Narrated By The Game of Thrones Cast

The Dance of the Dragons was one of the bloodiest and most destructive conflicts in Westerosi history. A brutal Targaryen civil war, it pitted brother against sister, dragon against dragon, and tore the realm apart. When King Viserys I Targaryen died, the question of succession ignited a deadly struggle: should the Iron Throne pass to his chosen heir, Princess Rhaenyra, or to his son, Aegon II? From 129 AC to 131 AC, the Seven Kingdoms burned in a devastating war that claimed countless lives - including both rival monarchs - and forever changed House Targaryen. Known as the only true war where dragons fought dragons, the conflict brought fire, death, and the extinction of many of the great beasts. In the end, Rhaenyra’s son, Aegon III, would inherit a kingdom scarred by civil war and a dynasty weakened beyond repair. In this video, we’ll dive into the origins, major battles, key players, and lasting consequences of the Dance of the Dragons - a war that shaped the future of Westeros and still echoes in the stories of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
