10
King Viserys's death was foreshadowed more than anyone else's. He was struggling with a mysterious illness all season and, by episode eight, his body has been ravaged by the disease. He turns down milk of the poppy — a powerful pain reliever — in order to defend Rhaenyra and her family, and he plays host to one last family dinner, trying one more time to bring the two sides of his family together. Alicent visits him in his room and, thinking she's Rhaenyra, he tells her some of the song of ice and fire prophecy. She thinks he means he wants Aegon to be king and leaves. Viserys dies in his bed, seemingly calling out for Aemma.
