We had the pleasure of again interviewing House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal after the airing of episode 1. We had asked fans for questions to ask him, and far and away the most common questions were about Blood and Cheese, so ask him about his adaptation choices we did!

The book titles he names are THE WHITE SHIP by Charles Spencer, THE GREAT SIEGE by Ernle Bradford, and we believe THE WARS OF THE ROSES by Robin Neillands. We recommend to him is A DISTANT MIRROR: THE CALAMITOUS 14TH CENTURY by Barbara Tuchman.
