Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon<\/a> has landed as imposingly as a Targaryen dragon.<\/p>\n

Taking place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the premiere drew in millions of viewers, despite its predecessor\u2019s critically panned final outing.<\/p>\n

The series delves into the civil war between factions within House Targaryen \u2013\u00a0a war which ultimately led to the House\u2019s demise. Without a male heir \u2013 thanks to that<\/em> birth scene<\/a> \u2013 King Viserys (Paddy Considine) is seemingly running out of options for who might succeed him.<\/p>\n

However, an exclusive\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> poll revealed that fans know exactly who they want to sit on the Iron Throne<\/a>: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.<\/p>\n
