Queen Shaera Targaryen was the eldest daughter of King Aegon V Targaryen and Queen Betha Blackwood.[2][3]

History

Originally betrothed to Luthor Tyrell by her mother, Queen Betha, in 237 AC, in 240 AC, after their brother Duncan had defied their father and married following his heart, Shaera and her older brother Jaehaerys eluded their guards, and were secretly married. By the time the marriage became known to King Aegon V and Queen Betha, Jaehaerys and Shaera had already consumated the marriage, forcing King Aegon V to accept it.[2]

The marriage of Shaera and Jaehaerys caused anger amongst both House Tyrell and House Tully, as Princess Shaera had been betrothed to Luthor Tyrell, and Jaehaerys to Celia Tully.[2]

The marriage of Shaera and Jaehaerys yielded two children: Aerys and Rhaella.[2] Though it is unknown when Shaera died, and while it is unknown whether she had been present at Summerhall for the tragedy of Summerhall, it is known that Shaera outlived her father, King Aegon V, as she is mentioned to have remained in King's Landing with her brother and husband, the now King Jaehaerys II, when the armies marched out to the Stepstones to fight the War of the Ninepenny Kings.[4]
