RHAENYRA: (Narrating) As the first century of the Targaryen dynasty came to a close, the health of the Old King, Jaehaerys, was failing.
CUT TO: INT. HARRENHAL
The shot pans up from the floor to two maesters carrying a large chest through a crowded room towards the king.
RHAENYRA: (Narrating) In those days, House Targaryen stood at the height of its strength with 10 adult dragons under its yoke. No power in the world could stand against it.
Cut to a wide shot of the room.
RHAENYRA: (Narrating) King Jaehaerys reigned over nearly 60 years of peace and prosperity. But tragedy had claimed both his sons, leaving his succession in doubt. So, in the year 101, the Old King called a Great Council to choose an heir.
The maesters bring the chest to Jaehaerys.
RHAENYRA: (Narrating) Over a thousand lords made the journey to Harrenhal. Fourteen succession claims were heard but only two were truly considered: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the King's eldest descendant, and her younger cousin, Prince Viserys Targaryen, the King's eldest male descendant.
The shot cuts to each Targaryen as the narration mentions them. The chest is opened. Jaehaerys pulls out a scroll and reads it.
JAEHAERYS: It is declared by all lords paramount and lords vassal of the Seven Kingdoms that Prince Viserys Targaryen be made Prince of Dragonstone.
Viserys and his wife Aemma look relieved, while Rhaenys remains mostly expressionless.
RHAENYRA: (Narrating) Rhaenys, a woman, would not inherit the Iron Throne. The lords instead chose Viserys… my father.
