Is Ser Harwin Strong The Real Father Of Rhaenyra’s Sons?
“ House of the Dragon ” Episode 6 begins with Rhaenyra Targaryen giving birth to her third son. The first two sons, Jacaerys and Lucerys, didn’t look anything like their mama or their father. They were dark-haired and bore an uncanny resemblance to Ser Harwin Strong. The third bone was no different. Laenor Valeryon names her third son Joffrey without indeed consulting Rhaenyra about the name. latterly, Ser Harwin Strong came to visit the Princess of Dragonstone intimately and asked to take a look at her invigorated son. The Commander of the City Watch looks at the invigorated with the kind of affection that makes you realize that he was indeed the natural father of the child. Laenor also knows about it. But he's still probative and treats Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey as his own. He knew that he couldn’t condemn Rhaenyra because he had agreed to her terms and conditions. Rhaenyra had stated to him veritably easily that their marriage was nothing but a political arrangement. They both agreed to carry on with their extra-marital affairs indeed after marriage. Laenor also had a lawless affair with Ser Qarl Correy, and Rhaenyra knew about it. Indeed though both the mates had agreed to this arrangement, there was a kind of uneasiness that frequently arose due to the disagreeing nature of their connections. There was a strong feeling of enmity brewing between Rhaenyra and Alicent. The former friends now didn’t miss an opportunity to take a jibe at each other. As soon as Joffrey was born, Alicent asked for him, as she wanted to check who was the real father of the invigorated. It was a matter of race, and both the women wanted their sons to sit on the Iron Throne. During the meeting of the small council, both of them started arguing in an attempt to undermine each other’s authority. It felt like Rhaenyra was more inclined toward ending this hostility formerly and for all. She proposes that her son Jacaerys could get wedded to Alicent’s son, Helaena, and that would, in turn, resolve the conflict. Alicent says that she'd suppose about it, but deep down, she knew that she was in no way going to accept that proposition. Alicent believed that Rhaenyra was just like that cunning fox, who was hiding its real intention because it was being possessed by the hounds.
Ser Criston Cole had sworn his constancy to Alicent after Rhaenyra declined his offer to get wedded. All the royal children used to come to him for combat assignments. Criston Cole was poisoned by Alicent’s children, Aegon and Aemond. In the yard, when they were rehearsing, he made Aegon and Jacaerys go against each other. Aegon was relatively aged as compared to Jacey's and obviously had an upper hand in the dogfight. Ser Harwin also arrived at the scene and didn’t like the way his own sons were being manhandled by Cole. He lost his temper and ended up beating Criston Cole mercilessly.
Alicent frequently used to scold Aegon for having the kind of station he'd towards his own youngish family. Aemond was the only one who didn’t have a dragon? Aegon frequently used to side with his relatives, Jacaerys and Lucerys, and make fun of his real family, Aemond. Alicent told him that he couldn’t do that, not indeed in light-hearted humor. Aegon, at this moment, doesn’t understand why his mama is asking him to take sides and go against his own relatives. They’d each been brought up together, and their pure and innocent hearts noway learned to play politics. Their souls were still untainted by rapacity. Alicent tells Aegon that the day would come when the sons of Rhaenyra would dispute his claim to the Iron Throne. Alicent wished to inseminate in her sons the same abomination that she felt. She just wanted to expose the lawless affair of Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin Strong and make her own children the heirs at law to the Iron Throne.

His barbaric vehemence frequently used to take over his prudent sensibilities, but he still couldn’t entertain the study of going against his own family.

The Triarchy had risen to power formerly again under the leadership of Qoren Martell of Dorne.

She wanted her children to be raised in Driftmark. She knew that she wasn't Daemon’s first choice, and she was ready to live with that fact for the rest of her life. During her third gestation, complications arose, and the maesters didn’t know what to do to help her. Laena was in excruciating pain.

She tells him how her father would have had the courage to tell the King the verity, no matter how bitter it was. Larys was Lyonel Strong’s son and the young family of Ser Harwin Strong.
