About this episode

House of the Dragon used some clever visual storytelling to give us a sample of the Battle of the Burning Mill, but the full story of the first battle of the Dance of the Dragons deserves to be told. It features a rekindling of the ancient Blackwood/Bracken feud along with Prince Daemon Targaryen and Caraxes.
