Daeron I

Yeah.

And we've seen Beric and Daeron.

So we've seen resurrection happen.

Yes.

All of this other character stuff they put in is new and that's fine and I like that.

But he didn't crown Daeron or proclaim Daeron King in the book.

He didn't make another Team Green.

No, true.

He thought Aegon was dead.

He thought Aegon was dead.

He thought Daeron was the only one left.

Yeah.

Yes.

He is the son of Prince Maekar and the direct grandson of King Daeron the Good, the monarch currently sitting on the Iron Throne.

Which obviously begs the question: how does a prince of the royal blood end up covered in road dust, begging a penniless hedge knight for a job?

It stems from a spectacular failure of royal family management.

Well, it's true.

Egg's father, Prince Maekar, intended for the Ashford Tournament to be a showcase of his son's prestige.

Maekar commanded his eldest son, Daeron, to compete in the jousting, with young Egg serving as his squire.

Okay, sounds like a normal royal plan.

I'm guessing dead from his reaction.

So, you know, that kind of... is more you know like it's unclear like his his personal priority didn't seem to be fighting for raniera he wasn't even supposed to be there he was supposed to be back at king's landing uh keeping the castle safe and he abandoned his post so i'm not sure how that's going to fly with raniera because that can't be good and then on top of that um we end up with a bit of an ambiguous conclusion where Gawain is looking for Daeron and Tessarian, his dragon.

I didn't really get a vibe one way or the other, whether he was supposed to be alive or dead, or either of them were supposed to be alive or dead.

I think we're supposed to maybe be deliberately ambiguous on that for the final season.

Yeah.

I think so as well.

I mean, they showed like a toasted body that I thought might be Daeron, but like, well...

Probably not.
