Home of the Dragon Follows Sport of Thrones’ Custom of Bloody AF Weddings

(Warning: the beneath has spoilers from Home of the Dragon.)

It would not be a royal marriage ceremony in Westeros with no little bloodshed.

Following within the footsteps of Sport of Thrones‘ Purple and Purple Weddings, Home of the Dragon‘s Sept. 18 episode featured its personal royally bloody marriage ceremony. Surprisingly, the chaos on the rehearsal dinner for Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and Ser Laenor Velaryon (Theo Nate) was not attributable to Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), Rhaenyra’s uncle who was disinherited and has an uncomfortable fixation on the princess.

As a substitute, the drama at hand was led to by Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), Rhaenyra’s lover and sworn protector. So, who precisely did Ser Criston kill? Ser Joffrey Lonmouth (Solly McLeod).

However, earlier than we bounce into the brutal face-off, allow us to clarify how the 2 knights ended up on this place.

Earlier within the episode, Queen Alicent (Emily Carey), Rhaenyra’s former finest buddy and present stepmother, interrogated Ser Criston concerning the rumor that Rhaenyra was noticed being intimate together with her uncle in a brothel. Nevertheless, Ser Criston did not understand that Alicent was asking about Daemon and went on to confess that he himself had slept with the princess, breaking his vow as a member of the Kingsguard.
