The 17 saddest deaths in 'House of the Dragon,' ranked
"House of the Dragon" doesn't shy away from killing major characters. But some deaths — like Jace's and Helaena's in season 3 — are more tragic than others.
House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, has delivered numerous heartbreaking deaths, with the show ranking them from least to most tragic. King Viserys Targaryen's death, caused by a long, agonizing illness, marked the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons, but it lacked the emotional impact of other deaths. Daemon Targaryen's murder of his first wife, Rhea Royce, came without much character development, making her passing less impactful.
Lord Ormund Hightower's death, though tragic due to his overbearing ego and supremacist beliefs, was less impactful due to his lack of established character development.
