Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5.There's a William Shakespeare quote that aptly summarizes House of the Dragon's third season so far: "Heavy is the head that wears the crown."

Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) has encountered countless obstacles since assuming the Iron Throne.
