Confined to a black cell, he would in time perish of a chill whilst awaiting trial. "Grand Maester Orwyle tells us that Lord Beesbury was seized at the door by the command of Ser Otto Hightower and escorted to the dungeons. Here's the relevant passage from the book: In "Fire and Blood," there are multiple accounts of how Lord Beesbury was killed, and none of them involved head-smashing on the table. But fans of the books know that Beesbury was historically noted as the first "blood shed in the Dance of the Dragons" - the fight between the Greens (Team Aegon II) and the Blacks (Team Rhaenyra). When Lord Beesbury stands up in defense of King Viserys' public choice to proclaim Rhaenyra as his successor, Criston silently appears over his shoulder out of focus.įor people who haven't read "Fire and Blood," this might not have felt ominous right away. He had been plotting with others on the Small Council to disregard his King's declaration to name Rhaenyra the next in line for the Iron Throne. Keeping Ned Stark's wise advice in mind, this scene makes it clear that Otto's insistence of believing Viserys to be a true sovereign and friend was mostly a facade. "With his last breath, he impressed upon the queen his final wish that his son Aegon should succeed him as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms." "We grieve for Viserys the Peaceful, our sovereign - our friend," the Hand of the King begins. In this episode of "House of the Dragon," we see Otto Hightower quickly move on from grieving King Viserys' death to enacting a longstanding plot to prevent Rhaenyra from ascending the Iron Throne. Benjen tells Lord Tyrion that Ned Stark (Benjen's older brother), once told him "that nothing someone says before the word 'but' really counts." A scene from "House of the Dragon" season one, episode nine.īack in the early episodes of "Game of Thrones," there was a scene between Benjen Stark and Tyrion Lannister at the Wall.
