In a dual meaning that captured Daenerys’ fatal desire to “break the wheel,” Bran the Broken controversially ascended the Iron Throne after being elected king by the Great Council. Bran became the second “broken” king in Westeros after House of the Dragon’s Aegon III Targaryen, whose ascension to the Iron Throne marked the end of the catastrophic Dance of the Dragons.
