The show later focuses on King Viserys I's reign over the Seven Kingdoms, which took place from 103 AC to 129 AC.įor context on how this compares with the time period of HBO's flagship series Game of Thrones, the original show's first ruler Robert Baratheon was King of the Seven Kingdoms from 283 AC to 298 AC. In the world Martin created, "AC" represents the years after Aegon Targaryen's Conquest of Westeros, with the years dated AC to mean after the conquest and BC to mean before the conquest in the historical texts of the franchise.

Rather than select his eldest son's daughter Rhaenys (Eve Best) he chose her cousin Viserys (Paddy Considine) to inherit the Iron Throne. House of the Dragonopens during King Jaehaerys I's reign, with the ruler choosing who to be his heir following the death of his son Aemon and Baelon.
