“A Targaryen must be seated on The Iron Throne.” Viserys I
Blackfyre is one of the ancestral Valyrian blades of House Targaryen. Passed down through the hands of many prominent members of the Targaryen line, it originally belonged to Aegon The Conqueror, founder of the Targaryen dynasty.
Wielded as a symbol of power by King Viserys I, Blackfyre is a bastard sword, so nick-named because of its hand-&-a-half proportions. Its wide blade is a ‘chopper’ designed for both offence and defense.
Tim Lewis, Master Armorer for House of the Dragon, contracted world-renowned swordsmith Peter Johnsson to make the original Blackfyre hero prop. A true master of his craft, Peter is also a historian with unparalleled knowledge of the ancient art of sword making. His expertise imbued Blackfyre with an authentic sense of character and heritage.
