Despite these rumors, there was no doubt that King Viserys meant for Rhaenyra to succeed him as heir, and for her sons to follow her. By royal decree, each of Rhaenyra's Velaryon sons was given a dragon egg in the cradle.
What did Queen Alicent hear in Viserys' final words? We all know how by now how Alicent interpreted what Viserys said: She took it as a mandate to put their son, Aegon II, on the throne — despite Viserys' publicly stated intent to place his daughter Rhaenyra in charge once he was gone.

Viserys thinks he's reaffirming the prophesy he told Rhaenyra when she was a child, doubling down on his decision to name her his heir. (Hence, “You are the one. You must do this.”) However, Alicent misunderstands this as Viserys changing his mind and admitting that their firstborn, Aegon, should really be his heir.

Vhagar was twice the size of Drogon and older/more experienced in battle. Wouldn't even be a close fight. Vhagar has upper hand that's for sure !!!
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 ...
Ned arrived just after the Lannisters; the Sack was still ongoing, and he found Jaime right after he killed Aerys. So, given that time line, if Ned had enough time to make it to King's Landing, it would appear that Rhaegar was killed first? Yup.
