10 Things You Somehow Missed In House Of The Dragon

10. Lord Beesbury's Portentous Clothing

The fate of Lord Lyman Beesbury lends new meaning to the phrase "dress for the occasion".

The sole dissenting member of the penultimate episode's eponymous Green Council, Beesbury passionately opposes Alicent's faction. The Lord of Honeyholt condemns the insidious plan to install Aegon on the throne as little more than treason.

Despite the sound reasoning behind his protests, Lyman could have picked a better audience. The Master of Coin duly has his head caved in by Criston Cole, after furiously rising to his feet following his initial outburst. While the manner of his death was technically accidental - as well as inescapable proof of Criston's urgent need for anger management sessions - the Targaryen loyalist was never going to survive in Otto and Alicent's new world.

This state of affairs is superbly prognosticated by the Green Council's attire - a fact that only becomes obvious upon second viewing. Beesbury happens to be the only member wearing the black and red colours associated with Rhaenyra's supporters. It's an outfit choice that seals his doom, as well as a brilliant piece of macabre foreshadowing.

Matters could have potentially been far worse. Differing accounts from Fire and Blood recount Lyman being tossed out of the window by Cole - where he landed on the spikes of Maegor's Holdfast's moat - or dying of starvation in the Red Keep's prison cells.
