Aegon II Targaryen's Fate Uncertain After Fiery Crash

What's Next for the Young King?

House of the Dragon season 2 ended with a dramatic twist: Aegon II Targaryen crash-landed his dragon into the Dragonpit, leaving his fate unknown. Fans are speculating about what will happen to the young king, and here are some of the possibilities.

Aegon Survives and Regains His Throne

This is the most straightforward outcome. Aegon somehow survives the crash and returns to King's Landing to reclaim his throne. He may be injured or weakened, but he could still be able to rule. However, his legitimacy as king could be challenged, as many people believe that he is not the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

Aegon Dies and the War Continues

Another possibility is that Aegon dies from his injuries, which would plunge Westeros into further chaos. The Greens, led by Alicent Hightower, would likely continue to fight for Aegon's son, Aegon III, but the Blacks, led by Rhaenyra Targaryen, would also have a claim to the throne. The war could escalate into a full-scale civil war, with no clear winner.

Aegon Is Exiled or Imprisoned

It is also possible that Aegon survives but is exiled or imprisoned by his enemies. This would prevent him from claiming the throne, but it would not end the war. The Greens and the Blacks would continue to fight, and Westeros would remain in turmoil.

Whatever happens to Aegon II Targaryen, it is clear that his fate will have a major impact on the future of Westeros. The upcoming season of House of the Dragon will reveal what happens to him and how it will shape the future of the Seven Kingdoms.
