Yes, in the lore of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Targaryen's first three sons (Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey) are widely accepted as being fathered by Ser Harwin Strong, making them bastards despite being legally considered trueborn sons of her husband, Laenor Velaryon, due to Westerosi law that children born within marriage are presumed legitimate. Her later sons with Daemon Targaryen, Aegon (III) and Viserys (II), are considered legitimate as they were born after Laenor's death and Rhaenyra's marriage to Daemon, although their paternity is also questioned by enemies.
Definitely. Laenor was gay and Harwin's affections for Rhaenyra was well known. Add in the fact that they didn't have the Valyrian look despite both Rhaenrya and Laenor having it, so it's all but officially stated that they were bastards.
It was rumored that those sons of Rhaenyra's were actually fathered by her lover, Harwin Strong, called "Breakbones". All three were born with brown hair, brown eyes, and features considered "common" such as a pug nose.
Although presented as legitimate and third-in-line for the Iron Throne, Lucerys and his brothers are in truth bastards fathered by Ser Harwin Strong. Because his older brother Jacaerys will inherit the Iron Throne after their mother, Lucerys is set to inherit Driftmark from their father.
Through his thirteen illegitimate children with his seven mistresses, Charles II has populated much of the British aristocracy. Several of the dukedoms that Charles awarded his sons are still held by their descendants though an unbroken male line.
King Charles III and late Princess Diana reportedly had a secret 'illegitimate daughter named Sarah, who was born in 1981, before the birth of her first son Prince William.
No, King Charles and Queen Camilla generally sleep in separate bedrooms, a common practice among the British upper class and royals, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, as it helps maintain their relationship and allows for personal space, with both having their own rooms at residences like Clarence House and private country homes.
After Viserys declared Rhaenyra as his rightful heir, the furious Daemon left for Dragonstone and took Mysaria with him. They remained there for six months, during which time Mysaria became pregnant; when Daemon learned of her pregnancy, he gave her a dragon egg, and by that infuriated Viserys.
Although Moira kept the affair a secret, Robert was aware that Thea wasn't his biological daughter, but he accepted her nonetheless and loved her like his own.
Visenya Targaryen (figlia di Rhaenyra e Daemon) Visenya, like other Targaryen babies who were stillborn, are described with dragon characteristics, such as scales, wings and a tail, and although some think it is due to incest, it is actually because the Targaryens really are of the blood of the dragon, it is said that ...
Without modern medicine, a baby born so early had very little chance of survival in the best of circumstances - and in these terrible conditions the baby, a girl named Visenya, is stillborn.
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Targaryens continued to incestuously marry brother to sister "to keep the bloodlines pure" as had their ancestors in the Valyrian Freehold. For a time, at least, they also continued to practice polygamous marriages.
We all know that all Rhaenyra's kids are all capable rulers. Jacaerys is diplomatic and a tactician. Not to mention that 2 of Rhaenyra's kids became kings. Viserys II is considered to be one of the greatest kings in Westeros next to Jaehaerys and the Conqueror.
Syrax. Syrax is a yellow-scaled dragon who has only ever had Rhaenyra as a rider. She was claimed when the princess was only seven and was named Syrax after the Valyrian goddess. Unlike most dragons which are born male, Syrax is one of the few living she-dragons.
Helaena and Aegon had three children: the twins Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, and Maelor. Like her siblings, Helaena was a dragonrider, who rode the dragon Dreamfyre.
Genghis Khan – 3,000 children
Modern studies have suggested that today around 16 million people globally may carry the DNA of Genghis Khan. This is because the warlord is believed to have fathered at least 1,000 children, with some modern experts estimating that his offspring might have totalled a jaw-dropping 3,000.
Throughout Season Eight, which in all likelihood took place over a minimum of a few weeks, Cersei never appeared to be pregnant, even though she also told Euron that she was carrying his child. Again, this could have been a tactic to keep his loyalty, as he wanted to father a king.
Later on, when her eldest brother Robb wins a battle against the Lannisters, Sansa is publicly beaten and humiliated in front of the court by Joffrey and Ser Meryn (on Joffrey's orders), as payment for her brother's crimes. Tyrion Lannister enters the court and rescues Sansa.
According to the Wiki, book Gendry was only five years older than Arya, and Joe is 10 years older than Maisie. Story-wise, at least Arya and Gendry both were inexperienced, and they had been fond of each other since the first season.
Game of Thrones' Drogon chose not to kill Jon Snow because of his Targaryen blood, his love for Daenerys, and Drogon's possible understanding that while Jon committed the act, he wasn't the reason for Daenerys' death at the end of Game of Thrones'.
Daemon Targaryen died on the 22nd of the fifth month and Rhaenyra Targaryen died the same day, 5 months later. #HouseOfTheDragon #Rhaenyra #Daemon. The fact that there are fans who think Daemon survived a fall from *probably* 1,000 feet into water is wild.
Rhaego was the son of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. According to a Dothraki prophecy, he would have been the stallion who mounts the world.
Queen Camilla was diagnosed with a form of pneumonia following a chest infection in late 2024, which caused fatigue and led to her missing some public engagements, though she continued with indoor duties and worked towards recovery, managing lingering post-viral tiredness with rest. Her illness was initially described as a "nasty bug," but she later confirmed the pneumonia diagnosis herself, requiring a modified schedule for a period.
Prince William and Kate Middleton sleep in separate beds primarily due to the constraints of the Royal Train (which has only single beds) and as part of a long-standing aristocratic tradition of separate sleeping arrangements for better rest or privacy, though they likely share a bed at home, with their dog sometimes joining them for extra comfort, aligning with modern trends for "sleep divorce".
In his book, Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants (via The Daily Mail) royal author Tom Quinn claimed that Harry and William called Queen Camilla "Lady Macbeth," "Cruella de Vil" and the "Witch of the West" as teenagers.
