And I don’t think Viserys names Rhaenyra his heir for any progressive thinking reasons. “That’s the way of the world at that time. “There is a lot of misogyny within that world and in that kingdom, but it’s not - you can’t bring your modern-day ideas to a character that lives in an ancient world,” Considine said. As a male Targaryen, however, Viserys has an ultimate level of privilege, one that wasn’t offered to his cousin Rhaenys. While Ned Stark may have ruled Winterfell and been Hand of the King under Robert Baratheon, he was significantly less powerful than other people in the realm. He’s just somebody who genuinely wants to serve the people as best as he can, but that world just will not allow for it.īut there are big difference between the two characters. I think all Viserys ever wanted to do was make the right decision. He’s not a simple man, Viserys, and I think the situations around him create complications for him.” “It was sort of part of the makeup for me, of Viserys. “Ned Stark and what Sean did was sort of in my head as I played this,” he told Polygon.
Considine was conscious of that connection as he approached the role. Those who know their Targaryen history will know that Viserys’ reign won’t last long by the end of the season, he may well have something else in common with Ned Stark: an early exit. King Viserys is will “disintegrate” under the weight of royal responsibility
