How does Rhaenyra Targaryenโ€™s die?

In the third season, Joffrey Baratheon ventures to the Great Sept of Baelor with his fiancรฉe Margeary Tyrell. In doing so, he completely spoiled the ending to how Rhaenyra Targaryen dies.

According to cosmically unlikable character, Rhaenyraโ€™s half-brother Aegon II has her killed and eaten by his dragon. Her character ending remains the same in the George R.R. Martin novel, Fire & Blood.
