Does Jacaerys die in House of the Dragon?
As mentioned above, we do lose Jacaerys in House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1. After he goes to battle against Rhaenyra's wishes, his plans are thrown awry when Rhaena shows up unannounced on Sheepstealer.
In the midst of the chaos, Jace's dragon Vermax is shot down and drowns. Jace originally survives but, as he is out in the ocean exposed, it isn't long before people spot him and shoot him in the neck with arrows.
Does Lord Corlys die in House of the Dragon?
House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1 ends with Lord Corlys Velaryon's fate up in the air. He goes overboard in the Battle of the Gullet but we never see him die. Perhaps, in episode 2, we will get answers.
What do you think? Is Corlys alive? Bookmark this page and we'll update it after episode 2.
