HBO shared a not-very-revealing photo in April, showing various members of the production team seated at computers. In a statement, HBO says production on the show has just started and it will be available to stream on HBO Max in 2022. Yes, this is the family with the whitish-blond hair, fierce dragon-riding skills and penchant for marrying their own relatives.Įmma D'Arcy plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Matt Smith is Prince Daemon Targaryen. Martin's enormous book Fire & Blood, which delves into the violent and fascinating history of the Targaryen family, hundreds of years before Daenerys came along. The HBO show is based on Game of Thrones' author George R.R. The soldiers in their armies identify each other through the heraldic symbols and use them to declare allegiance to the families they serve.Game of Thrones fans finally have some photos from upcoming prequel House of the Dragon to pore over. Not unlike corporate branding today, these heraldic symbols were a mark of endorsement of the family’s value and nobility. Just as it was in history, these symbols served as a sort of “logo” by which a family was identified. The colors and element chosen to be used in those coats of arms are bound by strict heraldic rules. In the Game of Thrones realm, each of the seven royal kingdoms and the noble houses within them identify themselves through distinct heraldic colors, symbols and mottos. And the honor and pride with which the family banners are carried resonates with historical accuracy as well. While the families are fictional, the family crests used in the series are a simplified version of actual historical heraldry. Thanks to Martin’s rich writing and HBO’s high production quality, the depictions of the families that comprise Game of Thrones are accurately detailed even down to the heraldry. The plot lines echo historical conflicts of that era, with powerful kings and their armies battling to preserve dynasties and extend bloodlines, and to etch their names into history. Martin, were inspired in many ways by life in medieval Europe. But the novels on which they are based, written by George R. The show and its characters are fantasy (the presence of dragons should give that away). Nowhere will you find a more vibrant example of those heraldic family bonds in action than on HBO’s television series, Game of Thrones. Heraldry is a source of pride and identity that can create a strong family bond.
