The Blackwoods fight the Brackens in House of the Dragon. Their feud is a long-running Riverlands rivalry, and in season 2 it flares into open conflict at the Battle of the Burning Mill, where the Blackwoods back Rhaenyra and the Brackens back Aegon II.

Quick Scoop

  • House Blackwood is a Riverlands noble house from Raventree Hall, and their old enemy is House Bracken.
  • In the show, that rivalry shows up first in a smaller duel and then escalates into a larger battle.
  • The main matchup people mean is Blackwood vs. Bracken , not Blackwood vs. another major Targaryen house.

TL;DR

Blackwoods fight Brackens, and the feud becomes a major part of the early Dance of the Dragons storyline in House of the Dragon.
