==History== Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] was treated with milk of the poppy after the stillbirth of her daughter [[Visenya Targaryen (daughter of Daemon)|Visenya]].{{ref|tpatq}} During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], at the [[Battle of Rook's Rest]], King [[Aegon II Targaryen]] suffered broken ribs, a broken hip, and [[dragonfire]] burns that covered half his body. He was treated with milk of the poppy, and was "lost in poppy dreams", bedridden for the rest of the year. When the [[greens]] took [[fall of Dragonstone|Dragonstone]], Aegon was further injured with two shattered legs, but refused milk of the poppy, living the rest of his life in great pain.{{ref|tpatq}} In his old age, Lord [[Quellon Greyjoy]] suffered from excruciating stomach pains, and had to take a draught of milk of the poppy every night to sleep.{{ref|twoiaf| The Iron Islands: The Old Way and the New}}
