where is aegon iii in house of the dragon

Aegon III is not the Aegon being talked about in the current House of the Dragon discussion. In the show’s timeline, the relevant character is Aegon II, who is currently shown in rough shape and on the run with Larys Strong in season 3 coverage.

Who Aegon III is

Aegon III is Rhaenyra’s son, and he matters as the eventual next ruler in the broader Targaryen succession story. Recent coverage about the series has also noted that Rhaenyra’s younger sons Aegon and Viserys are still part of the plan and “haven’t been forgotten.”

Why people mix them up

The names are very similar, so fans often confuse Aegon II with Aegon III. In practice, Aegon II is the king whose storyline is active in the show right now, while Aegon III is tied to the later outcome of the war and the dynasty’s future.

In plain terms

• Aegon II : the current on-screen Aegon, shown in season 3 coverage as injured and traveling away from the capital.

• Aegon III : Rhaenyra’s son, part of the larger succession story rather than the immediate current plot focus.

TL;DR: If you mean the Aegon currently in House of the Dragon , that’s Aegon II, not Aegon III. Aegon III is Rhaenyra’s son and is part of the later Targaryen succession arc.
