===First century after the Conquest=== Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena Targaryen]] placed a dragon egg in the cradles of her siblings [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]] and [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]] after they were born. According to the stories, from those eggs hatched [[Vermithor]] and [[Silverwing]].{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Jaehaerys later placed a dragon egg in the cradle of his son [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon]].{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} By {{Date|43}}, [[Dreamfyre]] , the dragon of Rhaena Targaryen, had already produced two clutches of eggs.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} During Rhaena's time at [[Fair Isle]] ({{Date|49|50}}), Dreamfyre laid another clutch of eggs. Dreamfyre's presence on the island was making some of the residents anxious, however, and the new clutch of eggs caused a [[begging brother]] to start preaching that Fair Isle "would soon be overrun by dragons" who would eat both sheep and men, and called for a [[dragonslayer]] to kill the [[dragon]]s to stop it all. The man was arrested, but nonetheless his words inspired fear wherever they were spread.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} When Rhaena departed Fair Isle, she took the eggs with her as she toured the [[westerlands]]. After some time at [[Casterly Rock]], Lord [[Lyman Lannister]] expressed his interest in the three eggs and asked how they would hatch, and when that could be expected. Lady [[Jocasta Lannister]] suggested to Rhaena that gifting the Lannisters one or more of the three eggs would be a good way to demonstrate her gratitude. After Rhaena refused, Lord Lyman offered to buy the eggs.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} Rhaena was eventually granted [[Dragonstone]] as her own seat.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} There, the eggs hatched.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} In {{Date|54}}, Lady [[Elissa Farman]] stole three dragon eggs from the [[Dragonstone]] hatcheries and fled with them to [[Pentos]], from where she traveled to [[Braavos]]. At Braavos, Elissa sold the eggs to the [[Sealord]], and used the gold to build herself a [[Sun Chaser|ship]]. The news about the theft was alarming to King Jaehaerys; if the eggs were to hatch, there would be a [[dragonlord]] in the world that was not of [[House Targaryen]]. Rewards were offered for rumors on the location of the dragon eggs, but every whisper proved worthless.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} By {{Date|56}}, Jaehaerys suspected that the dragon eggs had played a part in the financing of the ship. The banker denied all.{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} In {{Date|57}}, the newly appointed [[Hand of the King]], Septon [[Barth]], traveled to Braavos and conferred with the Sealord about the eggs, warning that King Jaehaerys would bring destruction upon Braavos should the eggs hatch. The Sealord denied having purchased the eggs, and claimed that, unhatched, dragon eggs were nothing more than "pretty stones". Barth eventually returned to [[King's Landing]] without the eggs, but with the crown's entire loan from the [[Iron Bank]] forgiven.{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}
