In A Song of Ice and Fire, the Tragedy at Summerhall takes place several decades before Game of Thrones begins and over a century after House of the Dragon ends. Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow's ancestor, Aegon V, hosts a Targaryen family get-together, which ends in disaster. This video looks at how this tragedy may be connected to various prophecies of Westeros and other ASOIAF lore as well. From Aegon the Conqueror to Rhaegar and Maester Aemon, the Targaryen prophecy of the Prince that was Promised is persistent.
