When Daemon choked Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon, he said, "Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did," after she mentioned the prophecy of Aegon's dream (the Song of Ice and Fire), revealing he didn't know about it and reacting with violence out of rage, frustration, and a desire to force her to see the harsh reality of war over prophecies.
Daemon is really angry because Rhaenyra is being passive. In his mind she wants to make peace with the greens when they possibly killed or poisoned Viserys (we see him checking for poison in ep 8 and he accuses Alicent of killing Viserys in ep 10) and they usurped the throne. Something that he very much wants.
In the book, Mushroom suggests that Rhaenyra was seduced by Daemon and that he took her virginity while Mushroom suggests that Daemon knew that Rhaenyra desired Ser Criston Cole of the Kingsguard so he started to offer her tips and training on how to best seduce him (including teaching her to kiss).
Suddenly, Daemon grabs Rhaenyra and chokes her before telling her: “Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did.” Rhaenyra realizes that Daemon doesn't know about the song of ice and fire, and he doesn't want to listen.
But, whatever happens after this point, Daemon most assuredly loved Rhaenyra, and she loved him back. He loved her more than he loved Laena. He loved her, sometimes enough to make him lose his focus on the Iron Throne. She loved him more than she loved Ser Criston Cole or Ser Harwyn Strong.
He's 100% in love with Rhaenyra. It's all over his dialogue, body language and the way he looks at her. He is tender with nobody else like he is with her. Even Matt Smith himself said the only 2 people Daemon loves are Viserys and Rhaenyra.
Instead of Cersei, Prince Rhaegar marries Elia Martell. Alienating his longtime Hand, Aerys instead agreed to an arranged marriage between Rhaegar and Elia Martell, a princess from Dorne, daughter of the ruling Princess of Dorne (who was a distant cousin of the royal line through intermarriage a century before).
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.
I think she was yearning for someone to see beyond her title and her womb. And here enters Daemon who is a rebel, a warrior, and someone who knows her and knows what she desires. It is sudden but she's a grown woman now and she wants to experience the freedoms a man in her place would be even expected to take part in.
(Spoiler)After Rhaenyra's death, Aegon-II was crowned again(it lasts for six months), during that period he says the title "queen" must belong to his mother, Rhaenyra should only be mentioned as a princess.
So theologians had to explain how Mary could have been ever-virgin––by the standard of having an intact hymen––and given birth (recall that quote from the Lateran Council: Mary “gave birth to Him without injury, her virginity remaining equally inviolate after the birth”).
Rhaenyra Targaryen's love life proves to be troubled, fueling the misogyny that accepts men in her position with several lovers, but never one woman. In the book, there are hints of her lovers, and in the series, we have proof of each of them: her uncle, Daemon Targaryen, Ser Criston Cole, and soon, Ser Harwin Strong.
Criston 'loved' Rhaenrya, or at least he thought he did when he consented to have a relationship with her. Because in his eyes, love was worth breaking his vows and he would do the right thing by marrying her.
Daemon Targaryen died on the 22nd of the fifth month and Rhaenyra Targaryen died the same day, 5 months later. #HouseOfTheDragon #Rhaenyra #Daemon.
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 ...
For the Two Betrayers it's simply a combination between greed for wealth and lust for powers. They aware that their dragons were bigger than everyone else besides Vhagar. Only their fears of Daemon revenge and hope for promotion made them think twice before betray the Half Year Queen.
Inbreeding: The Targaryens practiced sibling and cousin intermarriage to "keep the blood of the dragon pure" and preserve their unique Valyrian traits and connection to dragons.
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'.
Rhaena is dragonless for most of the Dance of the Dragons event in the book. However, she eventually gets a dragon when one of the eggs given to her hatches. She bonds immediately with this dragon and calls it Morning. Morning's birth was considered by many to be a miracle.
Rhaego was the son of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. According to a Dothraki prophecy, he would have been the stallion who mounts the world.
Killing Missandei was a strategic move. She put Missandei in shackles to mock Daenarys' title “Breaker of Chain”. She executed Missandei to insult and anger Daenarys. Cersei locked the people inside the capital knowing that Daenarys will rain fire and kill them.
Jon was half Targaryen and half Stark. So, he had dark hair. All of the Baratheon line had dark hair when Ned was looking at the history until Robert's children. They are the product of Cervi and Jamie.
