===Reign of Viserys I=== [[Image:Elaena.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]], holding a dragon's egg that matches the color of her hair,<ref name="Elaena">[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1605 Three Maidens in the Tower. (June 27, 2006)]</ref> by Amok Β©]] During the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]], there were more dragons than ever before. Several of the she-dragons regularly produced clutches of eggs. Many, but not all, of the eggs hatched. During Viserys's reign, it became truly customary to place a dragon's egg in the cradle of a newborn child.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} When his concubine [[Mysaria]] became pregnant in {{Date|106}}, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] presented her with a dragon egg. King Viserys I commanded him to return the egg and return to lawful his wife, Lady [[Rhea Royce]], or else be attainted as a traitor. Mysaria was then sent back to [[Lys]], without the egg.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]'s three sons by [[Laenor Velaryon]] were each given a dragon egg while in the cradle by royal decree; those who believed the boys' father truly was Ser [[Harwin Strong]] whispered that the eggs would never hatch, but they all did, and all three the boys became [[dragonrider]]s. Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] rejected the "stupid" eggs and "puny" hatchlings of Dragonstone, preferring the great dragon [[Vhagar]]. Dragon eggs were placed in the cradles of Prince [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon the Younger]], Prince [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]], Prince [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|Jaehaerys]], Princess [[Jaehaera Targaryen|Jaehaera]], and Prince [[Maelor Targaryen]].{{ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} All the eggs except for the ones of Viserys and Maelor hatched.
