Westeros has a new king! In Episode 9 of “House of the Dragon”, the Small Council overrode the wishes of the late King Viserys and crowned not his daughter Rhaenyra, but Aegon II, Viserys’ son with Alicent.

After the king’s death, Otto Hightower sent twin brothers Erryk and Arryk Cargyll from the Kingsguard to find Aegon in King’s Landing. At the same time, Kriston Kraut and Aemond were looking for Aegon for Alicent and ultimately the two groups had a fight when they found Aegon.

Arryk fought with Kriston Kraut while Aemond grabbed his brother and brought him to Alicent. Erryk, on the other hand, escaped to free Rhaenys, who had been imprisoned the entire time so that she could not inform Rhaenyra of what was happening in King’s Landing.

Here Erryk already shows that he is on the side of Rhaenyra, while Arryk faithfully serves Otto Hightower and thus King Aegon II. Erryk is still acting in secret here, but it won’t be long before the two Cargylls face each other as enemies.

Of course, “Fire and Blood” reveals more about the further history of Erryk and Arryk. Changes in the series are possible, so in the book Erryk was actually with Rhaenyra on Drachenstein when King Viserys died, but the following paragraphs could contain major spoilers, you have been warned!

The story of Erryk and Arryk in “Fire and Blood”

In “Fire and Blood”, Erryk leads the Queen’s Guard of Rhaenyra on Dragonstone. Wanting to take advantage of the Cargyll twins’ identical appearance, Kriston Kraut sends Arryk to Drachenstein to pose as Erryk and kill Rhaenyra and her children.

However, Erryk discovers his brother and they killed each other, the exact circumstances of this event are unknown. In some versions of the story, Erryk and Arryk declared their love beforehand, in other versions they fought for hours and finally died crying, in yet other stories they called themselves traitors or simply said nothing at all.

So it’s up to House of the Dragon to find an official end for the Cargylls, but they’ll both die. It won’t be that far in the upcoming season finale, but expect and Rhaenyra’s reaction to the betrayal in King’s Landing. Fortunately, season 2 is already in the works and then the hot phase in the brother fight will begin!
