Rohanne of Tyrosh was the wife of Daemon I Blackfyre, with whom she had seven sons and several daughters.[2]

History

Rohanne's betrothal to Daemon Blackfyre was arranged by King Aegon IV Targaryen, Daemon's father, and the Archon of Tyrosh. Following the death of King Aegon IV in 184 AC, his successor and Daemon's half-brother, King Daeron II Targaryen, paid the dowry the late King Aegon IV had promised the Archon, and saw his half-brother wed. Rohanne was married to the thirteen-year old[N 1] Daemon in 184 AC.[2] Their first children, the twins Aegon and Aemon, were born that same year.[3] In total, Rohanne would birth seven sons for Daemon, and at least two daughters.[2]

After the First Blackfyre Rebellion ended with the deaths of Daemon and his eldest two sons, Rohanne and her remaining children fled to Tyrosh along with another one of Daemon's half-brothers, Aegor Rivers. They remained in Tyrosh for years after.[2]

In 212 AC, when Daemon II Blackfyre was captured at Whitewalls by the crown after the abortive Second Blackfyre Rebellion, Brynden Rivers noted if he executed him, his mother would mourn.[4]

Notes:
  1. ↑ Daemon I agreed to wed his eldest daughter, Calla, to Aegor.[2] However, it is unknown if and when the marriage took place.

Behind the Scenes

In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, the book prop The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, created before the release of The World of Ice & Fire, lists Daemon Blackfyre's wife as "Serena", a peasant girl.[5]

Notes

  1. ↑ The World of Ice & Fire states that Daemon Blackfyre was fourteen when he married Rohanne of Tyrosh. However, given that Daemon was born in 170 AC, shortly before the 171 AC death of Baelor I Targaryen, and his and Rohanne's two eldest sons were twelve in 196 AC, it would not be possible for him to also be fourteen at the time of his wedding. He was more likely thirteen.
