===The Dance of the Dragons=== In late {{Date|129}}, at the behest of their half-brother Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], Viserys and his older brother [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]] were sent to [[Essos]] aboard the ''[[Gay Abandon]]'' to be [[Fosterage|fostered]] by a [[Prince of Pentos|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]] and [[Aegon II Targaryen]], 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]] was unknown to his family, who believed he had died in [[Battle in the Gullet|the battle]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} Viserys ended up in [[Lys]] at the [[manse]] of [[Bambarro Bazanne]] in {{Date|132}}. After the [[magister]] died in debt, his manse and property were seized by creditors. All of Bazanne's valuables, including the captive Viserys, passed into the custody of the wealthy [[Lysandro Rogare]] of the [[Rogare family]], whose [[Rogare Bank|bank]] at the time was as powerful as the [[Iron Bank of Braavos]]. Initially, Lysandro considered putting him to work as a courtesan on account of his striking beauty, but quickly{{Refn|group="N"|According the ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', [[Larra Rogare]] was nineteen when she married Viserys, which would place their marriage in {{Date|134}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} However, ''[[Fire & Blood]]'', which says [[Lysandro Rogare]] quickly changed plans after learning the identity of Viserys, implies a faster timeline.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} Elio Garcia has clarified<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/page/191/#comment-9194208 The ASOIAF wiki thread – Comment by Ran], March 10, 2026</ref> that ''The World of Ice & Fire'' is incorrect and a more accurate date for Viserys and Larra's wedding would be {{Date|132}} or {{Date|133}}.}} changed his plans when the prince revealed his identity. Viserys was wed to the family's youngest daughter, [[Larra Rogare|Larra]], despite her being seven years his senior.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}
