The following story consists of spoilers for both Home of the Dragon season 2, episode 4 “A Dance of Dragons,” and George R. R. Martin's book Fire & & Blood
THERE'S NO DOUBT–“A Dance of Dragons,' the 4th episode of Home of the Dragon‘s 2nd season, was the program's most legendary. The episode's very first half of planning, heart-to-heart conversing (rather the mother-son discussion in between Alicent and Aegon!), and political computing given way for a 2nd half filled with tense delights and visual phenomenon. Amongst that phenomenon? The real start of war in between the Greens and the Blacks, a fire-breathing dragon fight, and (possible) character deaths that will have considerable fallout.
The most heartbreaking of those deaths came as an outcome of the fight at Rook's Rest, where Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) and her dragon Meleys were indicated to be a trump card of sorts versus the charging Green army led by Ser Criston Cole, however things didn't go according to strategy. Rhaenys and Meleys got their damage in, once Aemond (Ewen Mitchell) showed up aboard Vhagar and Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) showed up aboard Sunfyre, the method things were going to go was basically sealed.
Instead of range from fate, Rhaenys chose to look head on– and showed to be Aemond and Vhagar's 2nd victims (after securing Aegon and Sunfyre in a minute of skillful friendly fire). Similar to her grand son, Lucerys Velaryon, Rhaenys falls due to an aerial attack from Vhagar. The huge distinction, this time, is that Aemond didn't lose control; his actions were really deliberate.

HBO
Let's not make any errors or elude: in Home of the Dragon, the HBO tv program, Rhaenys Targaryen is dead since completion of “A Dance of Dragons.”
She has an extremely remarkable death scene, consisting of a heartbreaking minute– that Eve Best definitely squashes– where we see a resigned approval on her face after understanding that she will pass away, and there was absolutely nothing she might do. We then see a huge crash and an intense surge. Beyond something really cool, she is dead.
The program offers us a far more particular response on Rhaenys's death than George R. R. Martin's source product book Fire & & Blood, which provides as strong a ramification as possible without rather actually spelling it out. Still …
