King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men is the first title born by the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, whose seat is the Red Keep in King's Landing.[1][2][3] George R. R. Martin has also used King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men.[4][5]

History

Originally crowned as King of All Westeros and Shield of His People by his sister-wife Rhaenys, Aegon I Targaryen abandoned these titles when he was crowned by the High Septon at the Starry Sept of Oldtown as "King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm". This title indicated that Aegon claimed authority over the Dornish, descendants of the Rhoynar people, despite their successful resistance in Aegon's Conquest.[6]

At the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Daemon Targaryen crowned his wife, Rhaenyra Targaryen, as Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, in opposition to Rhaenyra's half-brother, Aegon II Targaryen.[7] The civil war ended with Rhaenyra and Aegon II both dead and Rhaenyra's son, Aegon III, sitting the Iron Throne.[8]
