House of the Dragon is back with its second season, continuing to take fans 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones when House Targaryen ruled from the Iron Throne. How do House of the Dragon’s main characters relate to each other, and how many generations pass before we get to the events in Game of Thrones?

We’ve created this family tree to show, at a glance, what the Targaryen dynasty looked like, up until it was overthrown and replaced by House Baratheon, with Daenerys attempting to reclaim the throne.
