Which Targaryen had a sapphire eye?

Why does Viserys call himself the dragon?

Who is playing Aemond Targaryen?

Like I said, we already know that Ewan Mitchell is playing second-born son Aemond. Because we see Mitchell together with Glynn-Carney on set, the assumption is that he’s playing Aegon or Daeron. Given that Daeron is the youngest, Aegon is the mostly likely choice for the 25-year-old Glynn-Carney.

Aegon the Conqueror
