Fantasy author George R.R. Martin is the cocreator of HBO's "House of the Dragon" TV series, a new "Game of Thrones" prequel show based on a book called "Fire and Blood."
Martin's "Fire and Blood" is a fictional historical account of House Targaryen, the family whose rule in Westeros began after Aegon the Conqueror and his family of dragon-riders established the Iron Throne as a new seat of power.
In Martin's stories, the historians of Westeros used the day of Aegon's coronation as a resetting of the calendar years, with events dated to either B.C. (Before Conquest) or A.C. (After Conquest).
The TV show changes the book's original timeline a bit, which also impacts the age of the characters and the sequence of events that lead to an unstable time in Targaryen rule.
With the following timeline, we break down the family relationships and how the characters age throughout the show. We'll be updating this article each week with new events as season one of "House of the Dragon" hops forward in time.
Note: Events marked with an asterisk (*) have been estimated based on context clues within the show.
