'House of the Dragon' Fans React to Episode 4's Brutal Battle and Shocking Betrayal

'A Dance of Dragons' played out the long-anticipated Battle of Rook's Rest -- and the fate of even more Targaryens.

The episode, titled "A Dance of Dragons," played out the anticipated Battle of Rook's Rest with the splintered Targaryen dynasty continuing to war amongst themselves over control of the Iron Throne. The blacks knew that they needed to respond with force, but Rhaenyra ( Emma D'Arcy) refused to let her son, Jacaerys (Harry Collett), lead the charge -- instead sending Rhaenys ( Eve Best) and her dragon, Meleys. Then, a drunken and reckless King Aegon II ( Tom Glynn-Carney) also showed up on dragon back -- eager to prove himself after a disquieting conversation with his mother, Queen Regent Alicent ( Olivia Cooke).
