Yahoo News Who are Blood and Cheese in House of the Dragon?
Dragons and daggers at the ready, because House of the Dragon season two is here. The highly-anticipated second season of the prequel premiered on 16th June, and we need to know, who exactly are Blood and Cheese?
Based on author George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the prequel follows the House Targaryen and their journey towards the Iron Throne. Think family feuds, bloody duels, steamy scenes and more!
The first episode of season two sees Westeros on the brink of a civil war as the Green and Black Councils take up arms for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively.
The episode then ends with a pretty brutal scene that readers will recognise from the books, so, here is everything we know about Blood and Cheese 🩸🧀.
Who are Blood and Cheese in House of the Dragon?
So, season one of House of the Dragon ended with Rhaenyra’s second son, Lucerys Velaryon, being killed by his nephew and Viserys and Alicent’s second son, Aemond, which sparks the civil war dubbed Dance of the Dragons.
In season two, which begins shortly after Aemond killed Luceras, Rhaenyra’s husband (and, um, uncle), Daemon, recruits assassins to carry kill Aemond. So, he entrusts former butcher-turned-guard, nicknamed Blood, and a rat catcher, nicknamed Cheese.
But, these two don’t have much assassination experience and when they enter the Red Keep, they find Helaena, Aegon’s wife (and sister), in a room with her two children, including six-year-old Jaehaerys.
So, Blood and Cheese force Helaena to say at knifepoint which of her children is the oldest son and heir, to which she points at Jaehaerys. So, Blood and Cheese murder Jaehaerys while Helaena flees with her other son to tell her mother, Alicent, what has happened.
Plus, readers will know that this scene was more brutal in the book. We need the next episodes as soon as possible, please!
House of the Dragon is steaming on NOW TV.
