Princess Visenya Targaryen was the daughter of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen.[1]
History
Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen labored for three days in her apartments in the Sea Dragon Tower of Dragonstone. One month premature, Visenya was a stillborn. The labour had begun when Princess Rhaenyra heard the news from King's Landing, that her father, King Viserys I Targaryen, had died, and that her half-brother, Prince Aegon, had claimed the throne and had been crowned King, despite Rhaenyra having been Viserys' heir.[1]
According to Mushroom, Princess Rhaenyra had cursed Visenya while giving birth, calling her a monster. He also claims that Visenya had dragon-like birth defects, describing her as having been twisted and malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart should have been and a stubby, scaled tail.[2]
Mushroom also claims that it had been he who brought Visenya to the yard of Dragonstone for burning.[2]
Quotes about Visenya
Monster, monster, get out, get out, GET OUT![1]
She was my only daughter, and they killed her. They stole my crown and murdered my daughter, and they shall answer for it.[1]

Behind the Scenes
Prior to Visenya's first mention in The Princess and the Queen (2013), a "Visneya Targaryen"[sic] was mentioned as being married to Viserys II Targaryen in the Lineages and Histories prop book in the first season of Game of Thrones (2011). This may have been an early version of the character, as the prop book shows other similarities to characters later created by George R.R. Martin, such as Mychal Baratheon and Raymont Baratheon.[3]
