Princess Visenya Targaryen was the daughter of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen.[1]
History
[edit]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
[edit]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]
—Rhaenyra Targaryen
