About Jacaerys Velaryon’s dragon in ‘House of the Dragon’
In the ‘House of the Dragon’ show based on George R. R. Martin’s fantasy novel “Fire and Blood”, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon is a dragon rider who rode the dragon called Vermax. According to the tale, the paternity of Jacaerys and his two brothers ( Lucerys and Joffrey) was doubted by Queen Alicent Hightower and her supporters.
According to Targaryen law, a dragon egg is gifted to every born Targaryen prince or princess. Queen Alicent Hightower believed that the dragon eggs given to Jacaerys and his brothers would not hatch because they are not true Targaryens. To her disappointment, the eggs did not only hatch but the young dragons bonded well with their owners.
