What Sobriquet Means In House Of The Dragon Aemond's Line About Aegon Explained Simply put, a sobriquet is a nickname, and Aemond's line goes back to House of the Dragon season 1, episode 1, when Blood and Cheese killed Jaehaerys. When that was happening, Aegon was sitting on the Iron Throne with members of the Kinsguard, drinking and talking about what his name would be as king.
The talk of his sobriquet shows Aegon's thinking about his legacy, something he also references after Jaehaerys' death. It makes it more ironic that, while he is obsessing over said legacy, he's actually doing very little himself to define it. And, whatever the name, Aemond is clearly annoyed by his brother's focus on trivial matters when there's a war to be fought, and it just further proves to him that he would be a better ruler.
The other nickname for Aemond is "the Kinslayer." Aemond has said he's sorry for Lucerys Velaryon's death, but it hasn't stopped him from kinslaying again, this time with the death of Rhaenys Targaryen. Kinslaying is one of the greatest taboos in Westeros, and yet Aemond has now done it twice - and almost did a third time.
