Fans were eagerly waiting to know about the ancestors of their favourite queen Daenerys Targaryen and her father, 'The Mad King.' 

The story is set 172 years before the death of 'Mad King' and the birth of Daenerys Targaryen. The story in the first episode circles around the announcements of the heir of the Iron Throne and the seven kingdoms.
