Jenny's song

2014-07-03T05:26:04Z

Wontkins: /* A Storm of Swords */ sp error

There is a sad song that is always requested by the [[ghost of High Heart]] as payment in exchange for telling the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] of her [[Dreams and prophecies|prophetic dreams]]. It may be about [[Jenny of Oldstones]], who, according to the tales, was acquainted with a [[woods witch]].
==Recent Events==
===A Storm of Swords===
[[Arya]] heard the song when the brotherhood took her to [[High Heart]] for the first time. The men meet with the [[ghost of High Heart]] who requests her song after telling them of her recent dreams. <ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Prophecies/Entry/1818/ III: 249 - The Shadow, the Crow, the Fish]</ref> [[Tom of Sevenstreams]] sings the song, accompanying the words with his woodharp. The song is so soft and sad that Arya can only hear snatches of the words, though the tune is half familiar to her. ''[[Sansa]] would know it I bet'', she thinks. {{Ref|asos|22}}

When the brotherhood go to High Heart a second time <ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Prophecies/Entry/1823/ III: 491-492 - The Dead Kings]</ref> Tom again sings the song the dwarf woman. As he is singing she closes her eyes and rocks slowly back and forth, murmuring the words and crying. [[Thoros of Myr|Thoros]] takes Arya firmly the hand and draws her aside, telling her,
{{Quote|“Let her savour her song in peace. It is all she has left.” {{Ref|asos|43}}}}

Much later, while the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] waited for [[Merrett Frey]] to arrive at [[Oldstones]] with his brother’s ransom [[Tom of Sevenstreams]] may have been singing some lyrics of the song while sitting on the sepulchre of King [[Tristifer IV Mudd|Tristifer]]. Merrett finds the music is soft and sad, he hears words,
::::'''''High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jenny would dance with her ghosts''''' {{Ref|asos|81}}

It may be the same song that [[Robb Stark]] mentions to his mother when he is standing before the sepulchre of [[Tristifer IV Mudd|Tristifer]]. When Catelyn tells him the [[Oldstones|name of the ancient castle]] where they are encamped Robb says to her,
{{Quote|“There is a song. [[Jenny (Oldstones)|Jenny of Oldstones]], with the flowers in her hair." {{Ref|asos|45}}}}

Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms

| developer = [[w:Bigpoint Games|Bigpoint Games]]

'''''Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms''''' is a browser-based, massively-multiplayer role-playing, free-to-play, computer game. It is based on the ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' television series and is developed by [[w:Bigpoint Games|Bigpoint Games]]. The game has no connection with ''[[Game of Thrones (video game)|Game of Thrones]]'', a single player role-playing game based on the books, developed by Cyanide Studios for consoles and PC. ''Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms'' is expected to be released in 2014.

==Technical Info==
The game is a browser-based game, using the Unity graphics system.<ref name=westeros1/>

==Gameplay==
Based on the [[Game of Thrones|television series]], ''Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms'' takes place shortly after the end of [[Game of Thrones - Season 1|season 1]] as the war for the [[Iron Throne]] begins. Players can align with three initial factions: [[House Stark]], [[House Lannister]], and [[House Baratheon]]. The player can also avoid picking a faction for awhile, but there are benefits to having one. Players and guilds, which represent minor houses, can align with a different faction for benefit, which is touted as one of the means of playing out the political aspects of the game.<ref name=westeros1/>

The game is a sandbox-style game focused on player vs. player (PvP) action and warfare. Players can take part in ranked 5 on 5 duels, or battle for control of castles and fortresses in the massive, open-world sandbox. From what ''Games Radar'' reports, the combat is action-based, with players able to earn cards that allow them to summon non-player characters like [[Jaime Lannister]] to help in a fight. ''Games Radar'' found these mechanics clunky, but Bigpoint noted this was still quite early in the process.<ref name=westeros1/>

The game is skill-based rather than class-based, but players can specialize characters with melee, ranged, or commander skills, which provide positive modifiers to allies and negative modifiers to enemies.<ref name=westeros1/>

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Viserys I''' was the fifth Targaryen king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{ref|agot|appendix}} He ruled from {{Date|103}} to {{Date|129}}. He succeeded his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]]. His reign was considered peaceful and prosperous.{{ref|trp}} He rode the dragon [[Balerion]], until the dragon died of old age during the reign of [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Old King Jaehaerys]]<ref>http://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18786792#t18786792</ref>

==Appearance==
Viserys was plump and pleasant. In his midlife his stoutness caused him numerous health problems: he suffered from gout, aching joints, back pain, and respiratory issues. Towards the end of his life his girth nearly kept him from ascending the steps to the thrown.{{ref|trp}}

He sported a bushy, silver-gold mustache and wore the crown of his grandfather, Jaehaerys I.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

==History==
Prince [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon]], chosen by King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]] as his heir in {{date|92}},{{ref|tpatq}} died before the Old King, leading to questions about the succession. Viserys was eventually chosen by the [[Great Council of 101|Great Council]] convened in {{Date|101}}. King Viserys I ruled well, and continued the prosperous peace left to him by his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]]. In his court he had the dwarf jester [[Mushroom]]. He had three children by his first wife [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]], who was a member of [[House Arryn]]. Two were sons who died in infancy and one was a daughter, Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], who lived until adulthood.<ref name="GQAR">Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra. (June 18, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Lacking a son to succeed him, Viserys began to groom Princess Rhaenyra to be the ruling queen. His [[Hand of the King|Hand]], Lord [[Otto Hightower|Hightower]] encouraged this plan to avoid the reign of [[Daemon Targaryen| Prince Daemon]], the king's brother.{{ref|trp}} He taught her how to rule and made her part of his [[small council]]. In 105AL, hundreds of lords and landed knights had done obeisance to the princess and sworn solemn oaths to defend her rights.{{ref|tpatq}}

In 106AL, Viserys married again after the death of his first wife, to [[Alicent Hightower]], and had several sons and a daughter, [[Helaena Targaryen]] with her.<ref name="GQAR"/> Lord Hightower attempted to convince the king to change the succession, but in the end, Viserys removed Lord Hightower as Hand, bestowing the honor on Lord [[Lyonel Strong]].{{ref|trp}} Rhaenyra remained his heir, however, a decision he left in his will.

Viserys hated conflict and made repeated attempts to cease the hostilities between [[The greens|the greens]] and [[The blacks|the blacks]]. His attempts met with much resistance, with many fights and false apologies on both sides issued. He loved his wife and daughter, but they only loved each other when he commanded.{{ref|trp}}

Viserys was aware of the rumors that Rhaenyra's sons were fathered by [[Harwin Strong]] and not her husband [[Laenor Velaryon]], but commanded that anyone heard spreading the rumor would lose their tongue. Several members of [[House Velaryon]] did when Rhaenyra argued her second oldest son should inherit [[Driftmark]]. After issuing the order to remove their tongues, Viserys slipped and cut his hand to the bone on the [[Iron Throne]]. He suffered a fever from an infection and only recovered after two of his fingers were removed. He never sat on the throne again.{{ref|trp}}

Viserys died on the third day of third moon of 129 AC during a nap in the [[Red Keep]] of [[King's Landing]].{{ref|tpatq}} After Viserys' death, the eldest son of his second wife, Aegon, was crowned [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] by the Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]], [[Criston Cole]], and his widow, Queen Alicent. This led to a war between Rhaenyra and Aegon II, better known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].

==Small Council under Viserys I==
During the reign of King Viserys his [[small council]] had the following members:

* [[Hand of the King]] - Ser [[Otto Hightower]], replaced and then reinstated after Lord Strong's death.
* [[Hand of the King]] - Lord [[Lyonel Strong]]
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Orwyle]] proceeded Gerardys
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Gerardys]] proceeded Mellos
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Mellos]]
* [[Master of Coin]] - Lord [[Lyman Beesbury]]
* [[Master of Laws]] - Lord Lyonel Strong
* [[Master of Laws]] - Lord [[Jasper Wylde]]
* [[Master of Ships]] - Ser [[Tyland Lannister]]
* [[Master of Whisperers]] - Lord [[Larys Strong]]
* Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]] - Ser [[Harrold Westerling]]

Prince '''Aemond Targaryen''' was a member of [[House Targaryen]]. His parents were [[Alicent Hightower]] and [[Viserys I Targaryen]].{{ref|trp}} He was the the brother of King [[Aegon II Targaryen]] and [[Daeron_Targaryen_(son_of_Viserys_I)|Daeron]].{{ref|ADWD|8}} He was also known as '''Aemond One-Eye''' and '''Aemond the Kinslayer'''. He was a dragonrider whose dragon was [[Vhagar]].{{ref|tpatq}}

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Aemond Targaryen|Images of Aemond Targaryen]]''

Aemond lost his eye at the age of ten in a fight with his half-nephew [[Lucerys Velaryon]].{{ref|trp}} He was known to put a sapphire in place of the missing eye. He wore night-black armor chased with gold.{{ref|tpatq}} He was hot-tempered and unforgiving, and was wild and willful as a child.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
Upon his birth, Prince Aemond was said to be half the size of his brother Aegon, but twice as fierce.

After the funeral of Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]], King Viserys planned to visit [[Dragonstone]] to see if Aemond was "bold enough" to claim a dragon egg or hatchling for his own. Seeking to prove his boldness, the ten-year-old Aemond resolved to claim the oldest, fiercest dragon in the world: Vhagar, recently riderless since the death of [[Laena Velaryon]], and right there at [[Driftmark]]. He was caught by his three year old half-nephew [[Joffrey Velaryon]], whom he pushed into a pile of dragon droppings before mounting Vhagar to avoid being caught. When his ride was over, Joffrey's older siblings [[Lucerys Velaryon|Luke]], five, and [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jace]], six, joined their brother and attacked Aemond, causing the loss of his left eye when Luke drew his dagger. Queen Alicent called for Luke to lose an eye as penance, but Aemond thought an eye a fair trade for Vhagar.{{ref|trp}}

Despite the loss of his eye, Prince Aemond became a dangerous swordsman under the tutelage of Ser [[Criston Cole]], the [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].{{ref|trp}}

Aemond was nineteen when his father, King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] died. He rode the [[dragon]] [[Vhagar]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], siding with his brother, King [[Aegon II Targaryen]].{{ref|ADWD|8}} His bedmate was [[Alys Rivers]].{{ref|tpatq}}

At the war's outset, Aemond flew to [[Storm's End]] to win the loyalty of Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] by wedding one of his daughters. There he encountered [[Lucerys Velaryon]], on a similar errand for [[the blacks]], and his dragon, [[Arrax]]. As Lucerys flew away from the castle, Aemond took the opportunity to overtake and kill his nephew. He became known as a [[kinslaying|kinslayer]] for his action.{{ref|tpatq}}

Aemond's next dragonfight was at the side of King Aegon at the [[Battle of Rook's Rest]], where the brothers slew [[Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was)|Rhaenys Targaryen]]. Aegon, however, was severely wounded, and Aemond ruled in his stead as Prince Regent and Protector of the Realm for a year while Aegon recovered. He took up the iron and ruby crown of [[Aegon I|Aegon the Conqueror]], and was said to have stated that it looked better on himself than it ever did on Aegon.{{ref|tpatq}}

Pringe Regent Aemond and the [[Hand]], Ser [[Criston Cole]], gathered an army to march on [[Daemon Targaryen|Prince Daemon]] at [[Harrenhal]]. As they were on the march, [[Fall of King's Landing|King's Landing fell]] without them to defend it, as Daemon's spies had learned of their intent. Following [[the greens]]' defeat in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], Aemond and Vhagar burned black-aligned settlements throughout the [[Riverlands]]. This left Ser Criston without a dragon at the [[Battle at the stony ridge]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] challenged Aemond, waiting for thirteen days at [[Harrenhal]] with [[Caraxes]] until Aemond stopped burning the Riverlands to come face him. Aemond arrived with a pregnant Alys. The [[Dance over Harrenhal]] ended in the deaths of both riders and both dragons over the [[Gods Eye]]. Aemond's body, still chained to the saddle, went underwater along with Vhagar and was only recovered after the war. [[Dark Sister]] was through his eye.{{ref|tpatq}}

Ser '''Criston Cole''' was [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] at the time of the death of King [[Viserys I]], and convinced his son, [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], to claim the rule of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] as his father lay dying. This led to the [[Dance of the Dragons]], a civil war between Aegon II and his elder sister, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], whom Viserys had long groomed as his successor. For this he became known as '''Criston the Kingmaker'''.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

==Appearance==
Criston had black hair and green eyes. Many ladies described him as charming.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
===Early Life===
Ser Criston was born to a steward of Lord [[House Dondarrion|Dondarrion]] at [[Blackhaven]]. He won a melee at [[Maidenpool]] held in {{Date|103}} to celebrate the ascension of [[Viserys I Targaryen]], drawing the attention of the royal court by knocking [[Dark Sister]] from the hands of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] with his morningstar. He gave the victor's laurel to the seven year old [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Princess Rhaenyra]], whose favor he wore while unhorsing Prince Daemon in the joust, as well as the [[House Cargyll|Cargyll twins]] of the [[Kingsguard]], before being unhorsed by Lord [[Lymond Mallister]]. Thereafter, King Viserys indulged Rhaenyra by naming Ser Criston her personal sworn shield. In {{Date|105}}, the 23-year old Ser Criston became a member of the Kingsguard, taking the place of the legendary Ser [[Ryam Redwyne]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Cole wore Rhaenyra's favor in [[History_of_Tourneys_in_Westeros#Great Tourney on the fifth anniversary of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent's marriage|a tournament]] in {{Date|111}} where he unhorsed Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]], brother and champion to King Viserys's second wife and queen, [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|tpatq}}

In {{Date|112}}, however, Ser Criston was still Rhaenyra's champion and constant companion. [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] Ser [[Harrold Westerling]] died in that year, and Ser Criston was named his successor to lead the White Cloaks.It was rumored that Cole had an affair with [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] in {{date|113}} {{Ref|affc|13}}{{Ref|TRP}}. Their are two conflicting reports about what transpired between Ser Criston and the Princess that year...

Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]] says that Ser Criston slipped into Rhaenyra's bedchamber to confess his love, offering to abscond with her to one of the [[Free Cities]] where he would pledge his sword to some merchant prince, but that Rhaenyra refused him, saying a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] was meant to be more than the wife of a sellsword, and that if he could forget his [[Kingsguard]] vows, he could forget marriage vows.

The royal fool [[Mushroom]] tells a different tale - that Rhaenyra, had been practicing her enticements with her uncle Prince Daemon so that she would lose her maidenhead to Criston, a man she loved, rather than her betrothed homosexual cousin, [[Laenor Velaryon]]. She failed to seduce Ser Criston in [[White Sword Tower]], however, and the spurned princess took solace in [[Harwin Strong|Ser Harwin "Breakbones" Strong]]. Whatever the way of it, Cole went from being her staunchest defender to her bitterest foe, and Rhaenyra soon left for [[Driftmark]] with Breakbones as her new sworn shield.

In {{Date|113}} or {{Date|114}}, Ser Criston attended the wedding of Rhaenyra to Ser Laenor Velaryon, which included seven days of feasting and jousting. Cole fought with [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]]'s token, and during a melee left Breakbones with a broken collarbone and shattered elbow, prompting Mushroom to call him "Brokenbones" thereafter. Criston's morningstar also cracked the helm of the Knight of Kisses, Ser [[Joffrey Lonmouth]] (favorite of Ser Laenor), killing him six days later. Cole became a staunch supporter of Queen Alicent ever after.

Criston tutored [[Aemond Targaryen]] to be a skilled swordsman, despite Aemond's one eye.

===The Dance of the Dragons===
Due to the contradictory sources, Criston's motives in supporting [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] are unclear; some say that he acted from ambition as Aegon was more controllable{{Ref|affc|13}} than his willful half-sister Rhaenyra; indeed Aegon II eventually raised Ser Criston to the office of [[Hand of the King]]. However they parted ways affair ended badly, Rhaenyra having spurned him,{{Ref|affc|13}} adding a personal dimension to the conflict. Others allow Cole nobler motives and claim he was defending ancient [[Andal]] custom giving precedence to sons over daughters.{{Ref|affc|13}} In any event, many of the lords of the realm were aware of Viserys's wish to have Rhaenyra succeed him as [[House Targaryen]]'s first queen regnant{{Ref|affc|13}}, and threw their support behind the princess.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

During the meeting of Viserys's [[small council]] after King Viserys's death in {{Date|129}}, Cole slit the throat of Lord [[Lyman Beesbury]], the only member of the council to support crowning Princess Rhaenyra instead of Prince Aegon. The rest of the council were [[the greens|greens]]. Criston later crowned Aegon II with the iron-and-ruby crown of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]. However Rhaenyra, who was at [[Dragonstone]] at the time of Aegon's coronation, refused to support Aegon, beginning the great armed conflict which engulfed the Seven Kingdoms and became known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{ref|tpatq}}

As [[the blacks]] gathered their forces, Aegon II became frustrated with his [[Hand of the King]], Ser [[Otto Hightower]], and awarded the office to Ser Criston Cole. The Kingmaker's forces quickly took [[Duskendale]] and [[Rook's Rest]], the latter after a [[Battle of Rook's Rest|fierce battle]]. When Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] became Protector of the Realm and [[Regent|Prince Regent]] because of Aegon's injuries in the battle, Criston remained Hand.{{ref|tpatq}}

Aemond and the Kingmaker led an army of 4,000 greens from [[King's Landing]] to retake [[Harrenhal]] in the [[Riverlands]] from Prince [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]], who vacated the castle before Criston arrived. After hearing of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters']] defeat in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], Aemond began burning the Riverlands and Cole marched his remaining 3,600 greeens south along the western shore of the [[Gods Eye]], intending to join with the army of Lord [[Ormund Hightower]]. However, the Kingmaker's forces were ambushed by the [[Winter Wolves]] and river knights south of the Gods Eye, and he died in the [[battle at the stony ridge]] in {{Date|130}}.{{ref|tpatq}}

Prince '''Jaehaerys Targaryen''' was the son of [[Aegon II Targaryen]] and his sister-wife Queen [[Helaena Targaryen]]. He was King Aegon's firstborn son and heir, next in line to the [[Iron Throne]]. He had a twin sister, Princess [[Jaehaera Targaryen]], and a younger brother Prince [[Maelor Targaryen]]. <ref>[[The Princess and the Queen]]</ref> The [[dragon]] [[Shrykos]] was bound to Jaehaerys.

==Appearance & Character==
Jaehaerys was larger and healthier than his twin, but he was also born with six fingers on his left hand, and six toes on each foot.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
As the [[Dance of the Dragons|civil war]] began, Jaehaerys and his twin were six years old. After the death of [[Lucerys Velaryon]], Prince [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]] declared vengeance, writing that there would be ''“an eye for an eye, a son for a son”''.

Sometime thereafter two men, remembered as [[Blood (the butcher)|Blood]] and [[Cheese (the rat-catcher)|Cheese]], snuck into [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]]'s chambers located in the Tower of the Hand. As was her custom, Queen Helaena took her three children to visit their grandmother at dusk, before they went to bed.

Once Queen Helaena entered the chambers with her three young children, Blood barred the door and slew the queen’s guardsman whilst Cheese appeared and snatched up Maelor. Cheese told Queen Helaena that they were two ''"debt collectors"''. They told the queen ''“an eye for an eye, a son for a son”'' and asked her which one of her sons she wanted killed. The queen offered herself but the two killers refused, telling he that it had to be a son, a boy.

As the queen prevaricated, Cheese warned her to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped Princess Jaehaera. On her knees weeping, Helaena named her youngest child two-year-old Maelor. Blood gave a grin and slew Prince Jaehaerys instead, striking off the boy's head with a single blow from his sword.

After killing the young prince, Blood and Cheese did no further harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children and fled with the prince's head in hand.

==Appearance & Character==
She was small of stature. Jaehaera is described as a sweet simple girl of six at the time of her brother's murder.{{ref|tpatq}} As a babe, she showed no emotion.{{ref|trp}}

Princess Jaehaera was present in the Tower of the Hand when [[Blood]] slew her twin Prince Jaehaerys. Prior to the boy's death, as the queen prevaricated, [[Cheese (the rat-catcher)|Cheese]] warned her to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped Jaehaera.

When [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|the queen]]’s dragons first appeared in the skies above [[King's Landing]], Lord [[Larys Strong]] spirited Jaehaera out of the city along with [[Aegon II Targaryen|her father]] and younger brother Maelor. Lord Larys led them out through a secret passage of [[Maegor's Holdfast]], of which only he had knowledge. Jaehaera was put in the charge of Ser [[Willis Fell]], who swore to bring her safely to [[Storm's End]].

She eventually married Rhaenyra's son [[Aegon III]] and became a queen.

{{See homonyms | Aegon Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Aegon II''' was the sixth [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] monarch to sit the [[Iron Throne]], succeeding his father, [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. He was married to his full sister [[Helaena Targaryen]]. His dragon was [[Sunfyre]]. His personal sigil was a golden dragon instead of a red one.

==Appearance==
Aegon II resembled his father in appearance, though not in personality. He had only a wispy mustache and a sullen look to his face. He wore the crown of [[Aegon the Conqueror]] and carried [[Blackfyre]], the Conqueror's blade.{{ref|tpatq}}

He was lazy, sulky, and gluttonous. {{ref|trp}}

==Dance of the Dragons==
Aegon's father, Viserys I, died in {{Date|129}}. Viserys had intended for his daughter and Aegon's older half sister, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], to sit the Iron Throne. However [[Criston Cole]], Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]], later known as the Kingmaker, defied the late king's wishes and backed Aegon instead, having Aegon crowned king. Rhaenyra refused to be denied her crown, disputing Aegon's ascension. The realm split into two factions known as [[the greens]] and [[the blacks]], dragon riders took to the skies, and a Targaryen civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]] began. As his Hand, Aegon retained his learned grandfather Ser [[Otto Hightower]], who had served his father Viserys and grandfather [[Jaehaerys I]].

Early in the war, Aegon's heir [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|Prince Jaehaerys]] was murdered in the [[Red Keep]] by [[Blood (the butcher)|Blood]] and [[Cheese (the rat-catcher)|Cheese]], agents of [[Prince Daemon's go-between]]. His sister-wife Helaena quickly began to sink into depression and madness.

Because of his grandfather's delays in waging war, Aegon stripped Ser Otto of the Handship and awarded it to Criston the Kingmaker. Ser Criston immediately took to the offensive. Aegon himself took the field in a trap set by Cole at [[Battle of Rook's Rest|Rook's Rest]], where he and his brother [[Aemond One-Eye]] fought and killed [[Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was)|Rhaenys Targaryen]], the Queen Who Never Was. Aegon and his dragon [[Sunfyre]] were badly maimed, he suffering burns and broken bones. His armor melted into his left arm. It took him a year to recover, his mind clouded by [[milk of the poppy]], and sleeping nine hours out of every ten. Only his mother Queen Alicent and his Hand Ser Criston were allowed to disturb his rest. Prince Aemond ruled in his stead as [[Regent|Prince Regent]]. Aegon remained bent and twisted for the rest of his life, half his body covered in burn scars.

When his half sister Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|took King's Landing]] and the [[Iron Throne]] in {{Date|130}} [[Larys Strong]] secreted him away. Disguised as one of the [[dragonseed]] [[smallfolk]], Aegon hid on [[Dragonstone]] and convinced several blacks to defect and help him take the island. During the coup, he fought [[Baela Targaryen]], both mounted on dragons. He shattered his legs in a fall during the fight. He carried great pain with him for the rest of his life, but refused milk of the poppy because of his experience with it during the recovery from Rook's Rest. Meanwhile, his wife Queen Helaena had ended her grief by suicide in the capital.

In {{Date|130}}, Rhaenyra chose to flee to Dragonstone where she was captured, judged a traitor, and eaten by Aegon's dragon [[Sunfyre]] as he and Aegon III watched.{{ref|thk}} The war continued, however, as Rhaenyra's supporters continued her cause supporting her son, also named [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]]. Some time in this period, for unknown reasons Aegon II had Grand Maester [[Gerardys]] fed to his dragon.{{ref|ASOS|12}} The war and Aegon II's time as king ended half a year later in {{Date|131}} with his death under unknown circumstances. Aegon II had no male heirs left, which led to his nephew [[Aegon III Targaryen]] (Rhaenyra's son) ascending to the throne and marrying Aegon II's daughter, [[Jaehaera Targaryen|Jaehaera]].

==Quotes ==
{{Quote|'''Rhaenyra''': Dear brother. I had hoped you were dead.

'''Aegon II''': After you. You are the elder.

'''Rhaenyra''': I am pleased to know that you remember that. It would seem we are your prisoners ... but do not think that you will hold us long. My leal lords will find me.

'''Aegon II''': If they search the seven hells, mayhaps.

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Viserys II''' was the tenth member of [[House Targaryen]] to be the King on the [[Iron Throne]]. He was the brother of [[Aegon III Targaryen]] and was the son of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and [[Daemon Targaryen]], and the father of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]], Queen [[Naerys Targaryen]], and Prince [[Aemon the Dragonknight]].

==Appearance==
According to a semi-canon source, Viserys II was clean-shaven with long hair. He had a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows and a shrewd, calculating look to him. He wore the simple crown of Aegon III.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P15 So Spake Martin]</ref>

Viserys was frailer than his brother Aegon, but was more mature than him and his other Velaryon half brothers.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
In {{date|129}}, at the behest of their half-brother [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]] and Viserys were sent to [[Essos]] aboard the ''[[Gay Abandon]]'' to be fostered by a prince of [[Pentos]] until their mother, Rhaenyra, secured the Iron Throne. However, the fleet of the [[Kingdom of the Three Daughters]], who were allied with [[the greens]], captured the ''Gay Abandon'' during the voyage. Aegon flew away atop his dragon, [[Stormcloud]], but Viserys had only a dragon egg. Remaining behind, the clever Viserys hid his egg and disguised himself as a common ship's boy, but his identity was revealed by one of the crew. A [[Tyrosh]]i captain brought Viserys to [[Sharako Lohar]], the Triarchy's admiral. Viserys's fate through the remainder of the [[Dance of the Dragons]] is as yet unknown.{{ref|tpatq}}

Viserys later served as [[Hand of the King]] to his brother and his nephews and was instrumental in keeping the realm intact while King [[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron I]] warred and King [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor I]] prayed. It was rumored that to spare the realm embarassment, Viserys used his position as Hand to order the poisoning of a stonemason whom Baelor had appointed as [[High Septon]].{{ref|AFFC|43}}

==Reign==
Viserys II ascended to throne later in life after the death of his nephew, [[Baelor I Targaryen]], also known as Baelor the Blessed. Viserys is not remembered fondly in Westeros, as some accuse him of poisoning Baelor to gain the throne and doing nothing once he gained it. Viserys reigned for only a year, but in his previous role as [[Hand of the King]] he had ruled and preserved the land for much longer.{{ref|ASOS|59}}

{{See homonyms | Aegon Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Aegon III Targaryen''', also known as '''Aegon the Younger''', and later ''' Aegon the Dragonbane''', was the seventh king of the [[Targaryen]] line.{{ref|agot|appendix}} He succeeded his uncle, [[Aegon II Targaryen]], at the conclusion of the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. With Aegon II leaving no male heirs, the ascension of Aegon III is a possible dynastic vindication of the claim to the [[Iron Throne]] of his mother, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. When he was a child his dragon was [[Stormcloud]].{{ref|tpatq}}

==Appearance==
Aegon always dressed in black. He was pale, lean and never smiled, because of the grief he carried from seeing his mother devoured by his uncle's dragon. He wore a short beard but no mustache. His crown was a slender gold band.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Not much more is known of his character, although he does seem to have successfully kept the kingdom reunited following the divisions of the civil war.

Aegon had dark [[purple eyes]] and pale silvery hair.{{ref|trp}}

==Biography==
===The Dance of the Dragons===
Aegon was the son of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]] and was the grandson of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. His mother was expected to inherit the throne upon Viserys's death but instead her younger half brother was crowned as [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]]. The resulting war of succession is known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{ref|tpatq}}

In {{date|129}}, at the behest of their half-brother [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], Aegon and his younger brother [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]] were sent to [[Essos]] while their mother Rhaenyra secured the Iron Throne.{{ref|tpatq}} During the journey their ship, the ''[[Gay Abandon]]'', was captured by ships of the [[Kingdom of the Three Daughters]]. Aegon escaped by flying for the first time on his dragon, [[Stormcloud]], but Viserys was captured by [[Sharako Lohar]]. The experience was so frightening Aegon returned to [[Dragonstone]] pale, shaking, and having lost control of his bladder. Aegon never flew again, as Stormcloud died after reaching Dragonstone.{{ref|tpatq}}

When Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|took King's Landing]] in {{Date|130}}, she named Aegon her cupbearer after he joined her from Dragonstone. Aegon hardly spoke a word during this time. After the [[storming of the Dragonpit]] he and his mother were forced to flee the capital. Rhaenyra, nearly mad with grief from losing her dragon [[Syrax]] and all her children except Aegon, refused to be parted from him at any time, and he became a "small pale shadow" to his mother.{{ref|tpatq}}

When they returned to Dragonstone, they arrived at the castle to see the charred corpses of the castellan and some others who had been loyal to Rhaenyra hanging from the gates. Aegon was the first to realize what it meant and cried "Mother, flee!" but it was too late. They were brought into the coutyard where Aegon II was waiting. Young Aegon watched in horror as his uncle's dragon, [[Sunfyre]], devoured his mother.{{ref|tpatq}} Aegon was forever scarred, and this event cemented his later fierce hatred and terror for the creatures. After Rhaenyra's execution Ser [[Alfred Broome]] advised King Aegon II to kill the young Aegon, but the king decided to keep his nephew captive in the dungeon of Dragonstone. The death of his mother did not end the war; presumably her followers carried on under the banner of young Aegon and when Aegon II died not long after, Aegon inherited the throne as Aegon III in {{date|131}}.

As king, Aegon III ruled long and well in the [[Seven Kingdoms]], though he is often blamed for the death of the [[last dragon]], having had a great distaste for the creatures since he witnessed his mother being devoured by his uncle's beast.{{Ref|aGoT|23}} Although the [[maesters]] may have played a part in the death of the last dragons, Aegon III became known as "Aegon the Dragonbane", despite his later efforts to obtain [[Dragons|dragon eggs]]. At some point he had nine mages cross the sea to attempt to hatch his remaining cache of eggs.{{Ref|aSoS|54}}

Aegon had two sons, [[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron]], called the Young Dragon, and [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor]], called Baelor the Blessed. His daughters were the three "Maidens in the Tower," [[Daena Targaryen|Daena the Defiant]], [[Rhaena Targaryen|Rhaena]] and [[Elaena Targaryen|Elaena]]. Upon his death in {{Date|157}}, Aegon III was succeeded by his young son Daeron. Aegon was said to have always walked with a great grief, and the folly of his sons nearly tore the realm apart.

Ser '''Otto Hightower''' was considered a man of great learning in his time. He was haughty, blunt, and domineering.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
Ser Otto was famous for his knowledge. For this ability, he was named [[Hand of the King]]. He is now a warning to future Hands that knowledge is not everything. He served as Hand of the King under [[Jaehaerys I]], [[Viserys I]], and [[Aegon II]], but was not Hand continuously. Two of the three kings he served fired him at various times.<ref>http://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18807272#t18807272</ref> Otto was father to Viserys I's second wife, [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]] of [[House Hightower]]. In {{Date|109}}, Otto was fired for hounding Viserys to declare his grandsons heirs instead of Rhaenyra.{{ref|trp}}

In {{Date|120}}, Otto returned as Hand after[[Lyonel Strong]] died.

He played a crucial role in making his eldest grandson, [[Aegon II|Aegon II Targaryen]] King of Westeros, in defiance of the last will of Viserys I. This defiance precipitated the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{ref|asos|54}}

==The Dance of the Dragons==
The opposing faction, [[the blacks]], included the battle-tested [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Prince Daemon Targaryen]], who, in the course of his pre-war adventures, had made many foes. Ser Otto had been amongst the first of these. He reached out to other enemies of the prince, the [[Kingdom of the Three Daughters]], as allies. These allies were crucial in breaking the [[House Velaryon|Velaryon]] blockade in the [[Battle in the Gullet]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Aegon II, however, perceived Otto's diplomacy as slothful at a time when Prince Daemon had captured [[Harrenhal]] and many houses had declared for the blacks. This led to his replacement as Hand by Ser [[Criston Cole]], the [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]], despite the pleading of Ser Otto's daughter (and Aegon's mother) [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]]. It was only after his dismissal that his efforts bore fruit.{{ref|tpatq}}

Otto was the first to be executed as a traitor by [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] when she [[Fall of King's Landing|took King's Landing]] in {{Date|130}}, just as he had predicted.{{ref|tpatq}}

Prince '''Aemond Targaryen''' was a member of [[House Targaryen]] and was the the brother of King [[Aegon II Targaryen]].{{ref|ADWD|8}} He was also known as '''Aemond One-Eye''' and '''Aemond the Kinslayer'''. He was a dragonrider whose dragon was [[Vhagar]].{{ref|tpatq}} His parents were [[Alicent Hightower]] and [[Viserys I Targaryen]].{{ref|trp}}

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Aemond Targaryen|Images of Aemond Targaryen]]''

Aemond lost his eye at the age of ten in a fight with his half-nephew [[Lucerys Velaryon]].{{ref|trp}} He was known to put a sapphire in place of the missing eye. He wore night-black armor chased with gold.{{ref|tpatq}} He was hot-tempered and unforgiving, and was wild and willful as a child.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
Upon his birth, Prince Aemond was said to be half the size of his brother Aegon, but twice as fierce.

After the funeral of Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]], King Viserys planned to visit [[Dragonstone]] to see if Aemond was "bold enough" to claim a dragon egg or hatchling for his own. Seeking to prove his boldness, the ten-year-old Aemond resolved to claim the oldest, fiercest dragon in the world: Vhagar, recently riderless since the death of [[Laena Velaryon]], and right there at [[Driftmark]]. He was caught by his three year old half-nephew [[Joffrey Velaryon]], whom he pushed into a pile of dragon droppings before mounting Vhagar to avoid being caught. When his ride was over, Joffrey's older siblings [[Lucerys Velaryon|Luke]], five, and [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jace]], six, joined their brother and attacked Aemond, causing the loss of his left eye when Luke drew his dagger. Queen Alicent called for Luke to lose an eye as penance, but Aemond thought an eye a fair trade for Vhagar.{{ref|trp}}

Despite the loss of his eye, Prince Aemond became a dangerous swordsman under the tutelage of Ser [[Criston Cole]], the [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].{{ref|trp}}

Aemond was nineteen when his father, King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] died. He rode the [[dragon]] [[Vhagar]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], siding with his brother, King [[Aegon II Targaryen]].{{ref|ADWD|8}} His bedmate was [[Alys Rivers]].{{ref|tpatq}}

At the war's outset, Aemond flew to [[Storm's End]] to win the loyalty of Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] by wedding one of his daughters. There he encountered [[Lucerys Velaryon]], on a similar errand for [[the blacks]], and his dragon, [[Arrax]]. As Lucerys flew away from the castle, Aemond took the opportunity to overtake and kill his nephew. He became known as a [[kinslaying|kinslayer]] for his action.{{ref|tpatq}}

Aemond's next dragonfight was at the side of King Aegon at the [[Battle of Rook's Rest]], where the brothers slew [[Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was)|Rhaenys Targaryen]]. Aegon, however, was severely wounded, and Aemond ruled in his stead as Prince Regent and Protector of the Realm for a year while Aegon recovered. He took up the iron and ruby crown of [[Aegon I|Aegon the Conqueror]], and was said to have stated that it looked better on himself than it ever did on Aegon.{{ref|tpatq}}

Pringe Regent Aemond and the [[Hand]], Ser [[Criston Cole]], gathered an army to march on [[Daemon Targaryen|Prince Daemon]] at [[Harrenhal]]. As they were on the march, [[Fall of King's Landing|King's Landing fell]] without them to defend it, as Daemon's spies had learned of their intent. Following [[the greens]]' defeat in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], Aemond and Vhagar burned black-aligned settlements throughout the [[Riverlands]]. This left Ser Criston without a dragon at the [[Battle at the stony ridge]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] challenged Aemond, waiting for thirteen days at [[Harrenhal]] with [[Caraxes]] until Aemond stopped burning the Riverlands to come face him. Aemond arrived with a pregnant Alys. The [[Dance over Harrenhal]] ended in the deaths of both riders and both dragons over the [[Gods Eye]]. Aemond's body, still chained to the saddle, went underwater along with Vhagar and was only recovered after the war. [[Dark Sister]] was through his eye.{{ref|tpatq}}

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Viserys I''' was the fifth Targaryen king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{ref|agot|appendix}} He ruled from {{Date|103}} to {{Date|129}}. He succeeded his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]]. His reign was considered peaceful and prosperous.{{ref|trp}} He rode the dragon [[Balerion]], until the dragon died of old age during the reign of [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Old King Jaehaerys]]<ref>http://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18786792#t18786792</ref>

==Appearance==
Viserys was plump and pleasant. In his midlife his stoutness caused him numerous health problems: he suffered from gout, aching joints, back pain, and respiratory issues.{{ref|trp}}

He sported a bushy, silver-gold mustache and wore the crown of his grandfather, Jaehaerys I.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

==History==
Prince [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon]], chosen by King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]] as his heir in {{date|92}},{{ref|tpatq}} died before the Old King, leading to questions about the succession. Viserys was eventually chosen by the [[Great Council of 101|Great Council]] convened in {{Date|101}}. King Viserys I ruled well, and continued the prosperous peace left to him by his grandfather, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]]. In his court he had the dwarf jester [[Mushroom]]. He had three children by his first wife [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]], who was a member of [[House Arryn]]. Two were sons who died in infancy and one was a daughter, Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], who lived until adulthood.<ref name="GQAR">Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra. (June 18, 2006) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ So Spake Martin]</ref> Lacking a son to succeed him, Viserys began to groom Princess Rhaenyra to be the ruling queen. His [[Hand of the King|Hand]], Lord [[Otto Hightower|Hightower]] encouraged this plan to avoid the reign of [[Daemon Targaryen| Prince Daemon]], the king's brother.{{ref|trp}} He taught her how to rule and made her part of his [[small council]]. In 105AL, hundreds of lords and landed knights had done obeisance to the princess and sworn solemn oaths to defend her rights.{{ref|tpatq}}

In 106AL, Viserys married again after the death of his first wife, to [[Alicent Hightower]], and had several sons and a daughter, [[Helaena Targaryen]] with her.<ref name="GQAR"/> Lord Hightower attempted to convince the king to change the succession, but in the end, Viserys removed Lord Hightower as Hand, bestowing the honor on Lord [[Lyonel Strong]].{{ref|trp}} Rhaenyra remained his heir, however, a decision he left in his will.

Viserys hated conflict and made repeated attempts to cease the hostilities between [[The greens|the greens]] and [[The blacks|the blacks]]. His attempts met with much resistance, with many fights and false apologies on both sides issued. He loved his wife and daughter, but they only loved each other when he commanded.{{ref|trp}}

Viserys was aware of the rumors that Rhaenyra's sons were fathered by [[Harwin Strong]] and not her husband [[Laenor Velaryon]], but commanded that anyone heard spreading the rumor would lose their tongue. Several members of [[House Velaryon]] did when Rhaenyra argued her second oldest son should inherit [[Driftmark]]. After issuing the order to remove their tongues, Viserys slipped and cut his hand to the bone on the [[Iron Throne]]. He suffered a fever from an infection and only recovered after two of his fingers were removed. He never sat on the throne again.{{ref|trp}}

Viserys died on the third day of third moon of 129 AC during a nap in the [[Red Keep]] of [[King's Landing]].{{ref|tpatq}} After Viserys' death, the eldest son of his second wife, Aegon, was crowned [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] by the Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]], [[Criston Cole]], and his widow, Queen Alicent. This led to a war between Rhaenyra and Aegon II, better known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].

==Small Council under Viserys I==
During the reign of King Viserys his [[small council]] had the following members:

* [[Hand of the King]] - Ser [[Otto Hightower]], replaced and then reinstated after Lord Strong's death.
* [[Hand of the King]] - Lord [[Lyonel Strong]]
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Orwyle]] proceeded Gerardys
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Gerardys]] proceeded Mellos
* [[Grand Maester]] - [[Mellos]]
* [[Master of Coin]] - Lord [[Lyman Beesbury]]
* [[Master of Laws]] - Lord Lyonel Strong
* [[Master of Laws]] - Lord [[Jasper Wylde]]
* [[Master of Ships]] - Ser [[Tyland Lannister]]
* [[Master of Whisperers]] - Lord [[Larys Strong]]
* Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]] - Ser [[Harrold Westerling]]

'''Sunfyre''', also known as '''Sunfyre the Golden''', was a splendid young male [[dragon]]. He was ridden by [[Aegon II Targaryen]].{{ref|tpatq}} According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]] Sunfyre was the most magnificent and beautiful dragon ever to fly the skies of [[Westeros]], even the world.

==Description==
Sunfyre had gleaming gold scales and pale pink wing membranes. In the sunlight his scales shone like beaten gold.{{ref|tpatq}}

==History==
Sunfyre emerged from his [[dragon egg|egg]] on the [[Dragonmont]].

Sunfyre was wounded at the [[battle of Rook's Rest]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. One wing was nearly torn from his body. Ser [[Criston Cole]] had cattle brought to him while he lay healing. The wing healed at an awkward angle and he would never fly the same. Lord [[Walys Mooton]] tried to slay the injured dragon, but Sunfyre burned his attackers.{{ref|tpatq}}

Sunfyre killed [[Grey Ghost]] while returning to Dragonstone, either for Aegon or because it is the place of his birth. The fight left him with only one eye and wounds along his back, belly, and neck.

Sunfyre devoured [[Moondancer]] in the [[Fall of Dragonstone]], but wounds he took from the fight left him flightless for the rest of his life. He remained in the yard of Dragonstone where he fell, where he was fed sheep by the garrison. Sunfyre ate [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] at the bidding of Aegon II towards the end of the civil war. He eventually died from his wounds on the 9th day of the 12th moon, {{Date|130}}, Aegon wept upon Sunfyres death.{{ref|tpatq}}

'''Spicetown''' was a town on the island of [[Driftmark]] in the [[Crownlands]].{{ref|TPATQ}}

==History==
In {{Date|120}}, Ser [[Qarl Correy]] slew Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] over an unknown quarrel in the town.

Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], the Sea Snake, launched his ships from [[Hull]] and Spicetown to close the [[Gullet]] at the start of the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. The people of Spicetown heard the shriek of [[Vermax]] when the dragon was wounded during the [[Battle in the Gullet]]. The victorious [[the greens|greens]] sacked the town, butchering its populace and burning its buildings. Spicetown was not rebuilt after the civil war, at least by the time Archmaester [[Gyldayn]] wrote ''[[The Princess and The Queen, or, The Blacks and The Greens (by Archmaester Gyldayn)|The Princess and the Queen]]''.{{ref|TPATQ}}

Ser '''Laenor Velaryon''' was a [[knight]] and was the first husband of Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. He was a dragonrider whose dragon was [[Seasmoke]].{{ref|tpatq}}

==Appearance and Character==
Laenor had an aquiline nose, silver-white hair, and [[purple eyes]]. Ser [[Criston Cole]] alluded that boys were not safe around him.{{ref|tpatq}} It was widely accepted that at the age of 19, Laenor had not shown any interest in women, instead preferring the company of men his own age.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
Laenor was the son of Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] and Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was)|Rhaenys Targaryen]]<ref>http://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18794728#t18794728</ref>. He was one year younger than his sister, [[Laena Velaryon|Laena]]. During the [[Great Council of 101]], some lords spoke for Laenor.

Laenor had favored knights of his house, which he likely took as lovers. The first prominent was [[Joffrey Lonmouth]], who his third son was later named after. After Ser Joffrey's death, the next favored knight was [[Qarl Correy]].

Ser Laenor and Princess Rhaenyra had three sons, [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], [[Lucerys Velaryon]] and [[Joffrey Velaryon]].

Before the [[Dance of the Dragons]] began, Laenor was slain by his friend Qarl Correy over a quarrel. None of Laenor's three sons survived the civil war.

Wontkins: /* History */ Laenor's deth

'''Spicetown''' was a town on the island of [[Driftmark]] in the [[Crownlands]].{{ref|TPATQ}}

==History==
Ser [[Qarl Correy]] slew Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] over an unknown quarrel in the town.

Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], the Sea Snake, launched his ships from [[Hull]] and Spicetown to close the [[Gullet]] at the start of the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. The people of Spicetown heard the shriek of [[Vermax]] when the dragon was wounded during the [[Battle in the Gullet]]. The victorious [[the greens|greens]] sacked the town, butchering its populace and burning its buildings. Spicetown was not rebuilt after the civil war, at least by the time Archmaester [[Gyldayn]] wrote ''[[The Princess and The Queen, or, The Blacks and The Greens (by Archmaester Gyldayn)|The Princess and the Queen]]''.{{ref|TPATQ}}

Years after Aegon's Conquest

__NOTOC__
[[image:Chronology.png|thumb|Chronological plank of the succession of the kings and queens after Aegon's conquest. The Targaryen kings are in black or red, Baratheon in yellow and periods of rebellion in orange]]

This page is intended to draw a rough chronology of events since the world since Aegon's [[War of Conquest|Conquest]], an [[w:Epoch (reference date)|epoch]] event, that Maesters and educated people counted the years in relation to. George R. R. Martin has been vague in regard to some dates, so this chronology is often based on estimations according to key dates, character ages etc. For a more general overview of the history see [[Timeline of major events|major events timeline]].<br>
See Also: Years after Aegon's Conquest [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Theories|Theories]].

{{Quote|The maesters of the Citadel who keep the histories of Westeros have used Aegon’s Conquest as their touchstone for the past three hundred years. Birth, deaths, battles, and other events are dated either AC (After the Conquest) or BC (Before the Conquest).<ref>World of Ice and Fire sample</ref>}}

'''Rhaenyra Targaryen''', cheered as the '''Realm's Delight''' when she was young and later called the '''Half-Year Queen''', was the first-born child of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. Her claim to the [[Iron Throne]] was challenged by her younger half-brother, [[Aegon II Targaryen]], sparking the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. She was the mother of two kings,{{ref|ASOS|36}} [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].

==Character and Appearance==
She was very proud and stubborn, and there was a certain petulance to her small mouth. Rhaenyra was a stout woman, with a thick waist and a large bosom. She put on the weight after her three pregnancies, even though she was only 20.

Rhaenyra had her family's [[Valyria]]n looks, wearing her silver-gold hair in a long braid in the manner of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]]'s warrior wife, [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], though Rhaenyra was no warrior herself. She always dressed richly, favoring purple and maroon velvets and golden [[Myr]]ish lace in intricate patterns. Her bodice often glittered with pearls and diamonds, and there were always rings on her fingers. Whenever she was anxious, she would turn them compulsively, round and round.

Though Rhaenyra could be charming, she was quick to anger and never forgot a slight. During the Dance of the Dragons, she wore her father's crown.<ref name=SSM1 />

==History==
===Early Life===
Rhaenyra was King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]'s only living child by his first wife, [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]] of [[House Arryn]]. She grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of [[Westeros]].

When the second of her brothers died soon after being born, Viserys I himself began to treat Rhaenyra as his heir, keeping her by his side in court and at council meetings. Many of the nobles of the realm took note, so the young princess was surrounded by flatterers and favor-seekers all throughout her childhood.

Her mother's death and her father's second marriage to [[Alicent Hightower]] did little to disturb Rhaenyra's expectations, but when his new queen gave the king three healthy sons ([[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]], [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron]]) and a daughter ([[Helaena Targaryen|Helaena]]) in rapid succession, the seeds of the Dance of the Dragons were sown.<ref name=SSM1>{{cite web |url=http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ |title=So speak martin |date=June 18, 2006 |work=Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra}}</ref>

In [[111 AL]], a great tourney was held at [[King's Landing]] on the fifth anniversary of King Visery's marriage to Queen Alicent. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst Princess Rhaenyra dressed dramatically in [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “[[The greens|greens]]” and “[[The blacks|blacks]]” when talking of the queen's party and the party of the princess, respectively. In the tourney itself, the blacks had much the better of it when Ser [[Criston Cole]], wearing Princess Rhaenyra's favor, unhorsed all of the queen's champions, including two of her cousins and her youngest brother, Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra, 16, took possession of [[Dragonstone]] and married Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] in {{Date|113}}, though it took the threat of removing her status as heir to the thrown to convince her to accept the marriage. Up until her marriage, Ser Criston Cole had been her constaint companion since she was seven.{{ref|trp}}

Laenor and Rhaenyra had three sons together: [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jacaerys 'Jace' Velaryon]], [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys 'Luke' Velaryon]], and [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey 'Joff' Velaryon]]. All were near adulthood and had dragons of their own when Rhaenyra's father, Viserys I, died. It was rumored that those sons of Rhaenyra's were actually fathered by her lover, Ser [[Harwin Strong]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra's other sons, the future [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]], were fathered by her second husband, her uncle Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], the most experienced warrior of his time. Her father's intention that she should follow him on the [[Iron Throne]] was confirmed by proclamation and the will of Viserys I.

Rhaenyra gave birth to a deformed stillborn girl, [[Visenya Targaryen (daughter of Rhaenyra)|Visenya]], at the time of Viserys's death.{{ref|tpatq}}

===Dance of the Dragons===
:{{See also|Dance of the Dragons}}

After the death of her father, King Viserys I, his will stated that Princess Rhaenyra would succeed him. However, Ser [[Criston Cole]], [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] and possibly the former lover of Rhaenyra, defied the king's will and instead crowned Rhaenyra's half-brother, Alicent's son [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]], who was ten years younger. This brought about a Targaryen civil war, known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which dragonriders fought each other;{{Ref|aFfC|13}} during the war Rhaenyra rode her [[dragon]], [[Syrax]]. {{Ref|aDwD|8}}

At the time of her father's death, Rhaenyra was on Dragonstone awaiting the birth of her sixth child. The Green conspirators in King's Landing ensured that the news did not reach her until after all her supporters in the Red Keep were dead or imprisoned, and Aegon II's coronation had already occurred. When news did reach her, she went into a black fury and went into early labor, producing a deformed, stillborn daughter. She blamed this tragedy on the enemies who had stolen her crown. After Ser [[Steffon Darklyn]] of the Kingsguard arrived on Dragonstone with some other Black supporters who had fled the Green coup, bringing her father's crown with them, Rhaenyra had her own coronation.

To gain more support to take the crown from her brother, Rhaenyra sent her son Jace on his dragon to treat with the Arryns, Manderlys, and Starks, and her son Luke to treat with Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] at [[Storm's End]]. Luke's mission was thought to be the safer, but he arrived at Storm's End to find Queen Alicent's younger son [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]] already there. Aemond, riding [[Vhagar]], killed Luke over [[Shipbreaker Bay]] as he attempted to leave after failing to gain Lord Borros' allegiance. The news of Luke's death devastated his mother.

Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|took the capital]] and sat in the throne for a brief time. Although Rhaenyra was in armor, Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]]<ref>[http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/100284-spoilers-the-princess-and-the-queen-complete-spoilers-discussion/page-6#entry5178064 Ran discussing Eustace]</ref> claimed that those present witnessed the throne leaving several cuts on her legs and left hand. The dripping blood was taken as a sign that the throne had rejected her; her days as ruler would be few. Rhaenyra came to exact too much revenge on the denizens of King's Landing, and the smallfolk turned against her. She grew so cruel and vindictive that they named her "King [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] with Teats." After hearing of the [[Two Betrayers]], she grew paranoid and declared [[Addam Velaryon]], [[Corlys Velaryon]], and [[Nettles]] all traitors.

After the [[Storming of the Dragonpit]] Rhaenyra fled King's Landing. Terrorized and despairing, she grew grey and haggard as she traveled past [[Rosby]], [[Stokeworth]], and [[Duskendale]]. Once she reached [[Dragonstone]], Rhaenyra was betrayed by Ser [[Alfred Broome]], whose men slew the remainder of her [[Queensguard]]. Her half-brother Aegon II then had her fed to his own dragon, [[Sunfyre]], at Dragonstone. King Aegon II decreed that Rhaenyra was never a queen and that she be referred to only as princess in all chronicles and court records.

Rhaenyra's three sons she had with her Velaryon husband or her Strong lover all died fighting during the Dance of the Dragons, but her two sons by her second husband, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen|Daemon]], survived the civil war. The war ended when Aegon II died shortly after his victory in {{Date|131}} with no male issue, and was succeeded by Rhaenyra's and Daemon's elder son, the boy [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]], who had seen his mother's death by dragon.{{ref|thk}} Rhaenyra's second son with Prince Daemon would also later rule as King [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].

Prince '''Lucerys Velaryon''', also known as '''Luke''', was the second-born son of Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and her first husband [[Laenor Velaryon]]. He was a [[dragonrider]], his dragon was [[Arrax]].

==Appearance & Character==
He was a strong strapping lad, skilled in arms. Like his brothers [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] and [[Joffrey Velaryon]], he had brown eyes and hair. This made many at court suspect that [[Harwin Strong]] was their true father.

==History==
Prior to the [[Dance of the Dragons|civil war]] Lucerys had long served as a squire. He was fourteen-years-old at the start of the civil war.

Luke was sent on a mission that was considered shorter and safer than his brother [[Jace]]'s - he flew on dragonback as a messenger to [[Storm's End]] where it was expected that Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] would give him a warm welcome. Prior to his mission he swore on the ''[[Seven-Pointed Star]]'' to his mother on [[Dragonstone]] that he would take no part in fighting.

Once at Storm's End tragedy befell Lucerys. Ill chance brought two princelings together - Luke and [[Aemond One-Eye]]. Prince Aemon had arrived at the castle on [[Vhagar]] before Luke.

Upon his arrival in the Round Hall Luke ignored Prince Aemond and went to deliver his letter to Lord Borros. Prince Aemond attempted to snatch the letter but Lord Borros roared a command and his knights intervened, pulling the princelings apart.

After Borros's maester had whispered the message contained in the letter to him he asked Luke ''"And if I do as your mother bids, which one of my daughters will you marry, boy?"'' he then told him to pick one of his four daughters standing in the Round Hall. Prince Luke had to admit that that he was betrothed to his cousin [[Rhaena Targaryen (Rhaena of Pentos)|Rhaena Targaryen]]. Lord Borros replied that he thought as much and told him to go home.

As Prince Lucerys turned to take his leave Prince Aemond drew his sword but Prince Lucerys recalled his promise to his mother and told Aemond that he would not fight him and that he came as an envoy, not a [[knight]]. When Aemond grew angry, telling Luke that he would have his life, Lord Borros grew uneasy and put guards between the two princelings.

Lucerys Velaryon was escorted back to the castle yard where [[Arrax]] awaited. The dragon was hunched down in the rain. In the Round Hall, Prince Aemond again asked Borros for his leave. Lord Borros let him go once Lucerys had taken off.

Outside a terrible storm was raging, bad weather for flying. Arrax was struggling to stay aloft as Aemond mounted Vhagar and went after Luke. Arrax was younger and swifter, and on a calm day might have been able to outfly his pursuer, but the weather impeded him and Vhagar was five times the size of her foe and the hardened survivor of a hundred battles. The two dragons met above [[Shipbreaker Bay]]. According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]], if there was a fight it could not have lasted long.

Arrax fell, broken, to be swallowed by the storm-lashed waters of the bay. His head and neck washed up beneath the cliffs below Storm's End three days later. Prince Lucerys's corpse washed up as well.

On [[Dragonstone]], Queen Rhaenyra collapsed when told of his death and Luke's younger brother Joffrey swore a terrible oath of vengeance against Prince Aemond and Lord Borros. As the black council sat to consider how to strike back, a raven arrived from [[Harrenhal]]. ''"An eye for an eye, a son for a son,"'' [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Prince Daemon]] wrote. ''"Lucerys [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|shall be avenged]]"''.

==Rhaenyra's children controversy==
Similar to Cersei's blond children, can we agree that Rhaenyra's kids are all Harwin's? The Rogue Prince tells us their hair and eyes are all brown.

He successfully gained [[the North]] and the [[Vale of Arryn]] for [[the blacks]].{{ref|tpatq}}

He took part in the [[Battle in the Gullet]] where Vermax flew too low and went crashing into the sea. It was said that Jace leapt free and clung to a piece of smoking wreckage for a few heartbeats until some crossbowmen on the nearest [[Myr]]ish ship began loosing quarrels at him. The prince was struck once, and then again. Finally, one quarrel took him in the neck and he was swallowed by the sea.{{ref|tpatq}}

Prince '''Lucerys Velaryon''', also known as '''Luke''', was the second-born son of Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and her first husband [[Laenor Velaryon]]. He was a [[dragonrider]], his dragon was [[Arrax]].

==Appearance & Character==
Like his brother [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], he had brown eyes and hair. He was a strong strapping lad, skilled in arms.

==History==
Prior to the [[Dance of the Dragons|civil war]] Lucerys had long served as a squire. He was fourteen-years-old at the start of the civil war.

Luke was sent on a mission that was considered shorter and safer than his brother [[Jace]]'s - he flew on dragonback as a messenger to [[Storm's End]] where it was expected that Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] would give him a warm welcome. Prior to his mission he swore on the ''[[Seven-Pointed Star]]'' to his mother on [[Dragonstone]] that he would take no part in fighting.

Once at Storm's End tragedy befell Lucerys. Ill chance brought two princelings together - Luke and [[Aemond One-Eye]]. Prince Aemon had arrived at the castle on [[Vhagar]] before Luke.

Upon his arrival in the Round Hall Luke ignored Prince Aemond and went to deliver his letter to Lord Borros. Prince Aemond attempted to snatch the letter but Lord Borros roared a command and his knights intervened, pulling the princelings apart.

After Borros's maester had whispered the message contained in the letter to him he asked Luke ''"And if I do as your mother bids, which one of my daughters will you marry, boy?"'' he then told him to pick one of his four daughters standing in the Round Hall. Prince Luke had to admit that that he was betrothed to his cousin [[Rhaena Targaryen (Rhaena of Pentos)|Rhaena Targaryen]]. Lord Borros replied that he thought as much and told him to go home.

As Prince Lucerys turned to take his leave Prince Aemond drew his sword but Prince Lucerys recalled his promise to his mother and told Aemond that he would not fight him and that he came as an envoy, not a [[knight]]. When Aemond grew angry, telling Luke that he would have his life, Lord Borros grew uneasy and put guards between the two princelings.

Lucerys Velaryon was escorted back to the castle yard where [[Arrax]] awaited. The dragon was hunched down in the rain. In the Round Hall, Prince Aemond again asked Borros for his leave. Lord Borros let him go once Lucerys had taken off.

Outside a terrible storm was raging, bad weather for flying. Arrax was struggling to stay aloft as Aemond mounted Vhagar and went after Luke. Arrax was younger and swifter, and on a calm day might have been able to outfly his pursuer, but the weather impeded him and Vhagar was five times the size of her foe and the hardened survivor of a hundred battles. The two dragons met above [[Shipbreaker Bay]]. According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]], if there was a fight it could not have lasted long.

Arrax fell, broken, to be swallowed by the storm-lashed waters of the bay. His head and neck washed up beneath the cliffs below Storm's End three days later. Prince Lucerys's corpse washed up as well.

On [[Dragonstone]], Queen Rhaenyra collapsed when told of his death and Luke's younger brother Joffrey swore a terrible oath of vengeance against Prince Aemond and Lord Borros. As the black council sat to consider how to strike back, a raven arrived from [[Harrenhal]]. ''"An eye for an eye, a son for a son,"'' [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Prince Daemon]] wrote. ''"Lucerys [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|shall be avenged]]"''.

Ser '''Criston Cole''' was [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] at the time of the death of King [[Viserys I]], and convinced his son, [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], to claim the rule of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] as his father lay dying. This led to the [[Dance of the Dragons]], a civil war between Aegon II and his elder sister, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], whom Viserys had long groomed as his successor. For this he became known as '''Criston the Kingmaker'''.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

==Appearance==
Criston had black hair and green eyes. Many ladies described him as charming.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
===Early Life===
Ser Criston was born to a steward of Lord [[House Dondarrion|Dondarrion]] at [[Blackhaven]]. He won a melee at [[Maidenpool]] held in {{Date|103}} to celebrate the ascension of [[Viserys I Targaryen]], drawing the attention of the royal court by knocking [[Dark Sister]] from the hands of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] with his morningstar. He gave the victor's laurel to the seven year old [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Princess Rhaenyra]], whose favor he wore while unhorsing Prince Daemon in the joust, as well as the [[House Cargyll|Cargyll twins]] of the [[Kingsguard]], before being unhorsed by Lord [[Lymond Mallister]]. Thereafter, King Viserys indulged Rhaenyra by naming Ser Criston her personal sworn shield. In {{Date|105}}, the 23-year old Ser Criston became a member of the Kingsguard, taking the place of the legendary Ser [[Ryam Redwyne]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Cole wore Rhaenyra's favor in [[History_of_Tourneys_in_Westeros#Great Tourney on the fifth anniversary of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent's marriage|a tournament]] in {{Date|111}} where he unhorsed Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]], brother and champion to King Viserys's second wife and queen, [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|tpatq}}

In {{Date|112}}, however, Ser Criston was still Rhaenyra's champion and constant companion. [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] Ser [[Harrold Westerling]] died in that year, and Ser Criston was named his successor to lead the White Cloaks.It was rumored that Cole had an affair with [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] in {{date|113}} {{Ref|affc|13}}{{Ref|TRP}}. Their are two conflicting reports about what transpired between Ser Criston and the Princess that year...

Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]] says that Ser Criston slipped into Rhaenyra's bedchamber to confess his love, offering to abscond with her to one of the [[Free Cities]] where he would pledge his sword to some merchant prince, but that Rhaenyra refused him, saying a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] was meant to be more than the wife of a sellsword, and that if he could forget his [[Kingsguard]] vows, he could forget marriage vows.

The royal fool [[Mushroom]] tells a different tale - that Rhaenyra, had been practicing her enticements with her uncle Prince Daemon so that she would lose her maidenhead to Criston, a man she loved, rather than her betrothed homosexual cousin, [[Laenor Velaryon]]. She failed to seduce Ser Criston in [[White Sword Tower]], however, and the spurned princess took solace in [[Harwin Strong|Ser Harwin "Breakbones" Strong]]. Whatever the way of it, Cole went from being her staunchest defender to her bitterest foe, and Rhaenyra soon left for [[Driftmark]] with Breakbones as her new sworn shield.

In {{Date|113}} or {{Date|114}}, Ser Criston attended the wedding of Rhaenyra to Ser Laenor Velaryon, which included seven days of feasting and jousting. Cole fought with [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]]'s token, and during a melee left Breakbones with a broken collarbone and shattered elbow, prompting Mushroom to call him "Brokenbones" thereafter. Criston's morningstar also cracked the helm of the Knight of Kisses, Ser [[Joffrey Lonmouth]] (favorite of Ser Laenor), killing him six days later. Cole became a staunch supporter of Queen Alicent ever after.

===The Dance of the Dragons===
Due to the contradictory sources, Criston's motives in supporting [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] are unclear; some say that he acted from ambition as Aegon was more controllable{{Ref|affc|13}} than his willful half-sister Rhaenyra; indeed Aegon II eventually raised Ser Criston to the office of [[Hand of the King]]. However they parted ways affair ended badly, Rhaenyra having spurned him,{{Ref|affc|13}} adding a personal dimension to the conflict. Others allow Cole nobler motives and claim he was defending ancient [[Andal]] custom giving precedence to sons over daughters.{{Ref|affc|13}} In any event, many of the lords of the realm were aware of Viserys's wish to have Rhaenyra succeed him as [[House Targaryen]]'s first queen regnant{{Ref|affc|13}}, and threw their support behind the princess.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

During the meeting of Viserys's [[small council]] after King Viserys's death in {{Date|129}}, Cole slit the throat of Lord [[Lyman Beesbury]], the only member of the council to support crowning Princess Rhaenyra instead of Prince Aegon. The rest of the council were [[the greens|greens]]. Criston later crowned Aegon II with the iron-and-ruby crown of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]. However Rhaenyra, who was at [[Dragonstone]] at the time of Aegon's coronation, refused to support Aegon, beginning the great armed conflict which engulfed the Seven Kingdoms and became known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{ref|tpatq}}

As [[the blacks]] gathered their forces, Aegon II became frustrated with his [[Hand of the King]], Ser [[Otto Hightower]], and awarded the office to Ser Criston Cole. The Kingmaker's forces quickly took [[Duskendale]] and [[Rook's Rest]], the latter after a [[Battle of Rook's Rest|fierce battle]]. When Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] became Protector of the Realm and [[Regent|Prince Regent]] because of Aegon's injuries in the battle, Criston remained Hand.{{ref|tpatq}}

Aemond and the Kingmaker led an army of 4,000 greens from [[King's Landing]] to retake [[Harrenhal]] in the [[Riverlands]] from Prince [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]], who vacated the castle before Criston arrived. After hearing of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters']] defeat in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], Aemond began burning the Riverlands and Cole marched his remaining 3,600 greeens south along the western shore of the [[Gods Eye]], intending to join with the army of Lord [[Ormund Hightower]]. However, the Kingmaker's forces were ambushed by the [[Winter Wolves]] and river knights south of the Gods Eye, and he died in the [[battle at the stony ridge]] in {{Date|130}}.{{ref|tpatq}}

Ser '''Criston Cole''' was [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] at the time of the death of King [[Viserys I]], and convinced his son, [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], to claim the rule of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] as his father lay dying. This led to the [[Dance of the Dragons]], a civil war between Aegon II and his elder sister, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], whom Viserys had long groomed as his successor. For this he became known as '''Criston the Kingmaker'''.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

==Appearance==
Criston had black hair and green eyes. Many ladies described him as charming. His favorite weapon was the Morningstar.{{ref|trp}}

==History==
===Early Life===
Ser Criston was born to a steward of Lord [[House Dondarrion|Dondarrion]] at [[Blackhaven]]. He won a melee at [[Maidenpool]] held in {{Date|103}} to celebrate the ascension of [[Viserys I Targaryen]], drawing the attention of the royal court by knocking [[Dark Sister]] from the hands of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] with his morningstar. He gave the victor's laurel to the seven year old [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Princess Rhaenyra]], whose favor he wore while unhorsing Prince Daemon in the joust, as well as the [[House Cargyll|Cargyll twins]] of the [[Kingsguard]], before being unhorsed by Lord [[Lymond Mallister]]. Thereafter, King Viserys indulged Rhaenyra by naming Ser Criston her personal sworn shield. In {{Date|105}}, the 23-year old Ser Criston became a member of the Kingsguard, taking the place of the legendary Ser [[Ryam Redwyne]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Cole wore Rhaenyra's favor in [[History_of_Tourneys_in_Westeros#Great Tourney on the fifth anniversary of King Viserys I and Queen Alicent's marriage|a tournament]] in {{Date|111}} where he unhorsed Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]], brother and champion to King Viserys's second wife and queen, [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|tpatq}}

In {{Date|112}}, however, Ser Criston was still Rhaenyra's champion and constant companion. [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] Ser [[Harrold Westerling]] died in that year, and Ser Criston was named his successor to lead the White Cloaks.It was rumored that Cole had an affair with [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] in {{date|113}} {{Ref|affc|13}}{{Ref|TRP}}. Their are two conflicting reports about what transpired between Ser Criston and the Princess that year...

Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]] says that Ser Criston slipped into Rhaenyra's bedchamber to confess his love, offering to abscond with her to one of the [[Free Cities]] where he would pledge his sword to some merchant prince, but that Rhaenyra refused him, saying a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] was meant to be more than the wife of a sellsword, and that if he could forget his [[Kingsguard]] vows, he could forget marriage vows.

The royal fool [[Mushroom]] tells a different tale - that Rhaenyra, had been practicing her enticements with her uncle Prince Daemon so that she would lose her maidenhead to Criston, a man she loved, rather than her betrothed homosexual cousin, [[Laenor Velaryon]]. She failed to seduce Ser Criston in [[White Sword Tower]], however, and the spurned princess took solace in [[Harwin Strong|Ser Harwin "Breakbones" Strong]]. Whatever the way of it, Cole went from being her staunchest defender to her bitterest foe, and Rhaenyra soon left for [[Driftmark]] with Breakbones as her new sworn shield.

In {{Date|113}} or {{Date|114}}, Ser Criston attended the wedding of Rhaenyra to Ser Laenor Velaryon, which included seven days of feasting and jousting. Cole fought with [[Alicent Hightower|Queen Alicent]]'s token, and during a melee left Breakbones with a broken collarbone and shattered elbow, prompting Mushroom to call him "Brokenbones" thereafter. Criston's morningstar also cracked the helm of the Knight of Kisses, Ser [[Joffrey Lonmouth]] (favorite of Ser Laenor), killing him six days later. Cole became a staunch supporter of Queen Alicent ever after.

===The Dance of the Dragons===
Due to the contradictory sources, Criston's motives in supporting [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]] are unclear; some say that he acted from ambition as Aegon was more controllable{{Ref|affc|13}} than his willful half-sister Rhaenyra; indeed Aegon II eventually raised Ser Criston to the office of [[Hand of the King]]. However they parted ways affair ended badly, Rhaenyra having spurned him,{{Ref|affc|13}} adding a personal dimension to the conflict. Others allow Cole nobler motives and claim he was defending ancient [[Andal]] custom giving precedence to sons over daughters.{{Ref|affc|13}} In any event, many of the lords of the realm were aware of Viserys's wish to have Rhaenyra succeed him as [[House Targaryen]]'s first queen regnant{{Ref|affc|13}}, and threw their support behind the princess.{{Ref|aFfC|13}}

During the meeting of Viserys's [[small council]] after King Viserys's death in {{Date|129}}, Cole slit the throat of Lord [[Lyman Beesbury]], the only member of the council to support crowning Princess Rhaenyra instead of Prince Aegon. The rest of the council were [[the greens|greens]]. Criston later crowned Aegon II with the iron-and-ruby crown of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]. However Rhaenyra, who was at [[Dragonstone]] at the time of Aegon's coronation, refused to support Aegon, beginning the great armed conflict which engulfed the Seven Kingdoms and became known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{ref|tpatq}}

As [[the blacks]] gathered their forces, Aegon II became frustrated with his [[Hand of the King]], Ser [[Otto Hightower]], and awarded the office to Ser Criston Cole. The Kingmaker's forces quickly took [[Duskendale]] and [[Rook's Rest]], the latter after a [[Battle of Rook's Rest|fierce battle]]. When Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] became Protector of the Realm and [[Regent|Prince Regent]] because of Aegon's injuries in the battle, Criston remained Hand.{{ref|tpatq}}

Aemond and the Kingmaker led an army of 4,000 greens from [[King's Landing]] to retake [[Harrenhal]] in the [[Riverlands]] from Prince [[Daemon Targaryen (husband of Rhaenyra)|Daemon Targaryen]], who vacated the castle before Criston arrived. After hearing of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters']] defeat in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], Aemond began burning the Riverlands and Cole marched his remaining 3,600 greeens south along the western shore of the [[Gods Eye]], intending to join with the army of Lord [[Ormund Hightower]].

Ser '''Joffrey Lonmouth''' was known as the Knight of Kisses, and [[Joffrey Velaryon]] was named after him. He was likely a lover to [[Laenor Velaryon]].{{ref|trp}}

==History==
Ser Joffrey was Laenor Velaryon's favorite knight and companion. At Laenor's wedding to Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]], he rode as the Laenor's champion in the tourney while Ser [[Harwin Strong]] rode for the princess. During the tourney, Ser [[Criston Cole]] attacked him with a morningstar and cracked his helm. He died six days later without recovering consciousness; Laenor never left his side and wept at his death.

Ser Laenor wanted to name his first son [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jacaerys]] after him, but was overruled by his father Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]]. Instead, Laenor's third son [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey]] bore his name.{{ref|trp}}

'''Rhaenyra Targaryen''', cheered as the '''Realm's Delight''' when she was young and later called the '''Half-Year Queen''', was the first-born child of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. Her claim to the [[Iron Throne]] was challenged by her younger half-brother, [[Aegon II Targaryen]], sparking the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. She was the mother of two kings,{{ref|ASOS|36}} [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].

==Character and Appearance==
Pampered from an early age, Rhaenyra was a pudgy girl and a stout woman, with a thick waist and a large bosom. She was very proud and stubborn, and there was a certain petulance to her small mouth.

Rhaenyra had her family's [[Valyria]]n looks, wearing her silver-gold hair in a long braid in the manner of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]]'s warrior wife, [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], though Rhaenyra was no warrior herself. She always dressed richly, favoring purple and maroon velvets and golden [[Myr]]ish lace in intricate patterns. Her bodice often glittered with pearls and diamonds, and there were always rings on her fingers. Whenever she was anxious, she would turn them compulsively, round and round.

Though Rhaenyra could be charming, she was quick to anger and never forgot a slight. During the Dance of the Dragons, she wore her father's crown.<ref name=SSM1 />

==History==
===Early Life===
Rhaenyra was King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]'s only living child by his first wife, [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]] of [[House Arryn]]. She grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of [[Westeros]].

When the second of her brothers died soon after being born, Viserys I himself began to treat Rhaenyra as his heir, keeping her by his side in court and at council meetings. Many of the nobles of the realm took note, so the young princess was surrounded by flatterers and favor-seekers all throughout her childhood.

Her mother's death and her father's second marriage to [[Alicent Hightower]] did little to disturb Rhaenyra's expectations, but when his new queen gave the king three healthy sons ([[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]], [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron]]) and a daughter ([[Helaena Targaryen|Helaena]]) in rapid succession, the seeds of the Dance of the Dragons were sown.<ref name=SSM1>{{cite web |url=http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ |title=So speak martin |date=June 18, 2006 |work=Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra}}</ref>

In [[111 AL]], a great tourney was held at [[King's Landing]] on the fifth anniversary of King Visery's marriage to Queen Alicent. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst Princess Rhaenyra dressed dramatically in [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “[[The greens|greens]]” and “[[The blacks|blacks]]” when talking of the queen's party and the party of the princess, respectively. In the tourney itself, the blacks had much the better of it when Ser [[Criston Cole]], wearing Princess Rhaenyra's favor, unhorsed all of the queen's champions, including two of her cousins and her youngest brother, Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra, 16, took possession of [[Dragonstone]] and married Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] in {{Date|113}}, though it took the threat of removing her status as heir to the thrown to convince her to accept the marriage. Up until her marriage, Ser Criston Cole had been her constaint companion since she was seven.{{ref|trp}}

Laenor and Rhaenyra had three sons together: [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jacaerys 'Jace' Velaryon]], [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys 'Luke' Velaryon]], and [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey 'Joff' Velaryon]]. All were near adulthood and had dragons of their own when Rhaenyra's father, Viserys I, died. It was rumored that those sons of Rhaenyra's were actually fathered by her lover, Ser [[Harwin Strong]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra's other sons, the future [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]], were fathered by her second husband, her uncle Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], the most experienced warrior of his time. Her father's intention that she should follow him on the [[Iron Throne]] was confirmed by proclamation and the will of Viserys I.

Rhaenyra gave birth to a deformed stillborn girl, [[Visenya Targaryen (daughter of Rhaenyra)|Visenya]], at the time of Viserys's death.{{ref|tpatq}}

===Dance of the Dragons===
:{{See also|Dance of the Dragons}}

After the death of her father, King Viserys I, his will stated that Princess Rhaenyra would succeed him. However, Ser [[Criston Cole]], [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] and possibly the former lover of Rhaenyra, defied the king's will and instead crowned Rhaenyra's half-brother, Alicent's son [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]], who was ten years younger. This brought about a Targaryen civil war, known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which dragonriders fought each other;{{Ref|aFfC|13}} during the war Rhaenyra rode her [[dragon]], [[Syrax]]. {{Ref|aDwD|8}}

At the time of her father's death, Rhaenyra was on Dragonstone awaiting the birth of her sixth child. The Green conspirators in King's Landing ensured that the news did not reach her until after all her supporters in the Red Keep were dead or imprisoned, and Aegon II's coronation had already occurred. When news did reach her, she went into a black fury and went into early labor, producing a deformed, stillborn daughter. She blamed this tragedy on the enemies who had stolen her crown. After Ser [[Steffon Darklyn]] of the Kingsguard arrived on Dragonstone with some other Black supporters who had fled the Green coup, bringing her father's crown with them, Rhaenyra had her own coronation.

To gain more support to take the crown from her brother, Rhaenyra sent her son Jace on his dragon to treat with the Arryns, Manderlys, and Starks, and her son Luke to treat with Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] at [[Storm's End]]. Luke's mission was thought to be the safer, but he arrived at Storm's End to find Queen Alicent's younger son [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]] already there. Aemond, riding [[Vhagar]], killed Luke over [[Shipbreaker Bay]] as he attempted to leave after failing to gain Lord Borros' allegiance. The news of Luke's death devastated his mother.

Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|took the capital]] and sat in the throne for a brief time. Although Rhaenyra was in armor, Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]]<ref>[http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/100284-spoilers-the-princess-and-the-queen-complete-spoilers-discussion/page-6#entry5178064 Ran discussing Eustace]</ref> claimed that those present witnessed the throne leaving several cuts on her legs and left hand. The dripping blood was taken as a sign that the throne had rejected her; her days as ruler would be few. Rhaenyra came to exact too much revenge on the denizens of King's Landing, and the smallfolk turned against her. She grew so cruel and vindictive that they named her "King [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] with Teats." After hearing of the [[Two Betrayers]], she grew paranoid and declared [[Addam Velaryon]], [[Corlys Velaryon]], and [[Nettles]] all traitors.

After the [[Storming of the Dragonpit]] Rhaenyra fled King's Landing. Terrorized and despairing, she grew grey and haggard as she traveled past [[Rosby]], [[Stokeworth]], and [[Duskendale]]. Once she reached [[Dragonstone]], Rhaenyra was betrayed by Ser [[Alfred Broome]], whose men slew the remainder of her [[Queensguard]]. Her half-brother Aegon II then had her fed to his own dragon, [[Sunfyre]], at Dragonstone. King Aegon II decreed that Rhaenyra was never a queen and that she be referred to only as princess in all chronicles and court records.

Rhaenyra's three sons she had with her Velaryon husband or her Strong lover all died fighting during the Dance of the Dragons, but her two sons by her second husband, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen|Daemon]], survived the civil war. The war ended when Aegon II died shortly after his victory in {{Date|131}} with no male issue, and was succeeded by Rhaenyra's and Daemon's elder son, the boy [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]], who had seen his mother's death by dragon.{{ref|thk}} Rhaenyra's second son with Prince Daemon would also later rule as King [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].

'''Rhaenyra Targaryen''', cheered as the '''Realm's Delight''' when she was young and later called the '''Half-Year Queen''', was the first-born child of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. Her claim to the [[Iron Throne]] was challenged by her younger half-brother, [[Aegon II Targaryen]], sparking the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. She was the mother of two kings,{{ref|ASOS|36}} [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].

==Character and Appearance==
Pampered from an early age, Rhaenyra was a pudgy girl and a stout woman, with a thick waist and a large bosom. She was very proud and stubborn, and there was a certain petulance to her small mouth.

Rhaenyra had her family's [[Valyria]]n looks, wearing her silver-gold hair in a long braid in the manner of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]]'s warrior wife, [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], though Rhaenyra was no warrior herself. She always dressed richly, favoring purple and maroon velvets and golden [[Myr]]ish lace in intricate patterns. Her bodice often glittered with pearls and diamonds, and there were always rings on her fingers. Whenever she was anxious, she would turn them compulsively, round and round.

Though Rhaenyra could be charming, she was quick to anger and never forgot a slight. During the Dance of the Dragons, she wore her father's crown.<ref name=SSM1 />

==History==
===Early Life===
Rhaenyra was King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]'s only living child by his first wife, [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]] of [[House Arryn]]. She grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of [[Westeros]].

When the second of her brothers died soon after being born, Viserys I himself began to treat Rhaenyra as his heir, keeping her by his side in court and at council meetings. Many of the nobles of the realm took note, so the young princess was surrounded by flatterers and favor-seekers all throughout her childhood.

Her mother's death and her father's second marriage to [[Alicent Hightower]] did little to disturb Rhaenyra's expectations, but when his new queen gave the king three healthy sons ([[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon]], [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]], [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron]]) and a daughter ([[Helaena Targaryen|Helaena]]) in rapid succession, the seeds of the Dance of the Dragons were sown.<ref name=SSM1>{{cite web |url=http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1604/ |title=So speak martin |date=June 18, 2006 |work=Good Queen Alysanne and Rhaenyra}}</ref>

In [[111 AL]], a great tourney was held at [[King's Landing]] on the fifth anniversary of King Visery's marriage to Queen Alicent. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst Princess Rhaenyra dressed dramatically in [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “[[The greens|greens]]” and “[[The blacks|blacks]]” when talking of the queen's party and the party of the princess, respectively. In the tourney itself, the blacks had much the better of it when Ser [[Criston Cole]], wearing Princess Rhaenyra's favor, unhorsed all of the queen's champions, including two of her cousins and her youngest brother, Ser [[Gwayne Hightower]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra, 16, took possession of [[Dragonstone]] and married Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] in {{Date|113}}, though it took the threat of removing her status as heir to the thrown to convince her to accept the marriage.{{ref|trp}} They had three sons together: [[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jacaerys 'Jace' Velaryon]], [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys 'Luke' Velaryon]], and [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey 'Joff' Velaryon]]. All were near adulthood and had dragons of their own when Rhaenyra's father, Viserys I, died. It was rumored that those sons of Rhaenyra's were actually fathered by her lover, Ser [[Harwin Strong]].{{ref|tpatq}}

Rhaenyra's other sons, the future [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]], were fathered by her second husband, her uncle Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], the most experienced warrior of his time. Her father's intention that she should follow him on the [[Iron Throne]] was confirmed by proclamation and the will of Viserys I.

Rhaenyra gave birth to a deformed stillborn girl, [[Visenya Targaryen (daughter of Rhaenyra)|Visenya]], at the time of Viserys's death.{{ref|tpatq}}

===Dance of the Dragons===
:{{See also|Dance of the Dragons}}

After the death of her father, King Viserys I, his will stated that Princess Rhaenyra would succeed him. However, Ser [[Criston Cole]], [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] and possibly the former lover of Rhaenyra, defied the king's will and instead crowned Rhaenyra's half-brother, Alicent's son [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]], who was ten years younger. This brought about a Targaryen civil war, known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which dragonriders fought each other;{{Ref|aFfC|13}} during the war Rhaenyra rode her [[dragon]], [[Syrax]]. {{Ref|aDwD|8}}

At the time of her father's death, Rhaenyra was on Dragonstone awaiting the birth of her sixth child. The Green conspirators in King's Landing ensured that the news did not reach her until after all her supporters in the Red Keep were dead or imprisoned, and Aegon II's coronation had already occurred. When news did reach her, she went into a black fury and went into early labor, producing a deformed, stillborn daughter. She blamed this tragedy on the enemies who had stolen her crown. After Ser [[Steffon Darklyn]] of the Kingsguard arrived on Dragonstone with some other Black supporters who had fled the Green coup, bringing her father's crown with them, Rhaenyra had her own coronation.

To gain more support to take the crown from her brother, Rhaenyra sent her son Jace on his dragon to treat with the Arryns, Manderlys, and Starks, and her son Luke to treat with Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] at [[Storm's End]]. Luke's mission was thought to be the safer, but he arrived at Storm's End to find Queen Alicent's younger son [[Aemond Targaryen|Aemond]] already there. Aemond, riding [[Vhagar]], killed Luke over [[Shipbreaker Bay]] as he attempted to leave after failing to gain Lord Borros' allegiance. The news of Luke's death devastated his mother.

Rhaenyra [[Fall of King's Landing|took the capital]] and sat in the throne for a brief time. Although Rhaenyra was in armor, Septon [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]]<ref>[http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/100284-spoilers-the-princess-and-the-queen-complete-spoilers-discussion/page-6#entry5178064 Ran discussing Eustace]</ref> claimed that those present witnessed the throne leaving several cuts on her legs and left hand. The dripping blood was taken as a sign that the throne had rejected her; her days as ruler would be few. Rhaenyra came to exact too much revenge on the denizens of King's Landing, and the smallfolk turned against her. She grew so cruel and vindictive that they named her "King [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] with Teats." After hearing of the [[Two Betrayers]], she grew paranoid and declared [[Addam Velaryon]], [[Corlys Velaryon]], and [[Nettles]] all traitors.

After the [[Storming of the Dragonpit]] Rhaenyra fled King's Landing. Terrorized and despairing, she grew grey and haggard as she traveled past [[Rosby]], [[Stokeworth]], and [[Duskendale]]. Once she reached [[Dragonstone]], Rhaenyra was betrayed by Ser [[Alfred Broome]], whose men slew the remainder of her [[Queensguard]]. Her half-brother Aegon II then had her fed to his own dragon, [[Sunfyre]], at Dragonstone. King Aegon II decreed that Rhaenyra was never a queen and that she be referred to only as princess in all chronicles and court records.

Rhaenyra's three sons she had with her Velaryon husband or her Strong lover all died fighting during the Dance of the Dragons, but her two sons by her second husband, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen|Daemon]], survived the civil war. The war ended when Aegon II died shortly after his victory in {{Date|131}} with no male issue, and was succeeded by Rhaenyra's and Daemon's elder son, the boy [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]], who had seen his mother's death by dragon.{{ref|thk}} Rhaenyra's second son with Prince Daemon would also later rule as King [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]].
