The long-awaited war between the Greens and the Blacks has begun, and as always, Aegon II has been seen acting foolishly. But his actions backfired this time, and we see him lying on the ground with his kite after being maimed in flight. Ser Criston Cole also faints for a brief period, and when he regains consciousness the first thought that crosses his mind is, "Is Aegon okay?" Well, that's what all fans have been thinking after watching the shocking ending of HOTD Season 2 Episode 4. Let's find out if Aegon Targaryen is dead.

Excitingly, even after suffering fatal injuries, Aegon II lives, as can be seen in the trailer for the upcoming episode. House of the Dragon has made some major changes while adapting content from George RR Martin's books to date. But thankfully the creators didn't change Aegon's story from the books and didn't make him die this soon.

Aegon was never the right choice for the throne, which is why King Viserys didn't change his mind even after years. He has always made decisions impulsively without thinking about the consequences. For example, after losing Jahaerys, he hanged all the rat-catchers in the Red Keep, and when Otto Hightower criticized him, Aegon did not take a second to remove him from the position of the hand. Besides that, he appointed Ser Criston Cole to the Hand (which was bad news, of course).

Now, as the battle at Rook's Rest has begun, Aegon arrives on his dragon even though it was not needed. After that we see three powerful dragons attacking each other: Meleys, Sunfyre and Vhagar. Meleys dies with Rhaenys, Sunfyre and Aegon crashing to the ground after sustaining serious injuries while Vhagar and her rider, Aemond, remain unharmed.
