Summary House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3, opens with House Bracken and House Blackwood's conflict at the Battle of the Burning Mill, perpetuating a noble house feud that's persisted for thousands of years. As the Dance of the Dragons kicks off and the realm has been split into the Black and Green factions, the Riverlands have become the battleground for war in Westeros once again.
The Brackens & Blackwoods are lesser noble houses, but House of the Dragon has made an effort to demonstrate the importance of lesser castles and lords. In George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire book series, it's the lesser houses that are often the X factors in political conflicts and wars. The most notable example that made it into Game of Thrones is that lesser houses of the North, such as Bolton and Karstark, make up a sizable portion of Robb Stark's army.
Because both of their houses were weakened from fighting each other, by the time Aegon came to power, he granted the title of Lord Paramount of the Trident to House Tully instead. House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3 is about how cycles of violence come to pass, with the final scene between Rhaenyra and Alicent demonstrating how quickly anger and hatred can make things get out of hand. Even though neither of the opposing women wants war, too much has already happened to turn back.
