In George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, we are told of the incident where Rhaenyra Targaryen's husband Laenor Velaryon dies while attending a fair in Spicetown, on the island of Driftmark. We learn he was “stabbed to death” by a knight in his father's service, his paramour Ser Qarl Quarry.
And, in result, she asked Daemon to marry her—and to do away with her first husband. After Laenor was seemingly murdered by his lover, who was paid off by Daemon, the prince and princess wed in an intimate ceremony attended by their children.
The final draft, as featured in The Rogue Prince and The World of Ice & Fire, has Rhaenyra married first to Laenor Velaryon, by whom she had three sons, (Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey Velaryon) who were all rumored to have been fathered by Ser Harwin Strong.
Rhaenyra and Daemon's Marriage
Their marriage causes a huge scandal at court and another rift between Daemon and Viserys, but it is eventually accepted. The couple has two sons together, Aegon and Viserys. Nearly a decade after their marriage, the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons begins when Viserys I dies.
The answer is, unfortunately (due to incest), yes. ???? And since then, the vibes between them have ebbed and flowed, but there's definitely always been chemistry. They both married other people, popped out a few kids, but their story is far from over.
After teasing their deep connection for weeks, making out in a brothel, and flirting their way through King's Landing, uncle and niece at long last did the dirty. Not only that, but Rhaenyra and Damon literally had sex on the beach.
In the show, there isn't any romantic love between them. Daemon uses Rhaenyra for her position, and by being the first man to be intimate with her, he ensures that no other man would want to marry her. In the books, however, Rhaenyra was in love with Daemon and had always been besotted with him.
Aegon III, aka Aegon the Younger: Rhaenyra and Daemon's first child together.
Daemon Targaryen seduced his niece Rhaenyra and then walked away before going through with it. Rhaenrya slept with her bodyguard, King Viserys finally fired Otto Hightower…it was an intense one! The producers break it all down in another Inside The Episode feature.
According to Fire & Blood (the source material for House of the Dragon by George R. R. Martin), Rhaenyra's half-brother Aegon II has her killed and eaten by his dragon.
Back in her chambers, Rhaenyra's gaze lands on the handsome Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel). After some initial reluctance by Criston, who has much more on the line as a lowborn member of the Kingsguard, Rhaenyra playfully seduces her long-standing crush and they have sex.
Ultimately, Rhaenyra has two husbands (not at the same time) and gives birth to six children. Meanwhile, it is disputed in the book as to whether Rhaenyra ever consummated a romance with Ser Criston Cole, but either way, the two go from a close relationship to enemies.
“The Princess and the Queen” opens up with Rhaenyra giving birth to her third child, another boy. Laenor decides they'll name him Joffrey after his late lover who Criston beat to death right before he and Rhaenyra wed.
Turns out, Rhaenyra and Daemon are endgame, meaning they have a sexually tense relationship, eventually hook up, and get married—which is pretty significant from a power play perspective considering (1) they both want the throne and (2) their Targaryen union is almost sure to guarantee that happens—even though Alicent ...
In the House of the Dragon episode 4 ending, Viserys informs Rhaenyra that she will be marrying Laenor Velaryon without protest as a consequence of her rumored tryst with Daemon.
The romance that has long been teased in “House of the Dragon” is finally official. The seventh episode of HBO's “Game of Thrones” prequel starts with a funeral and ends with the wedding of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her uncle Daemon.
Daemon strangled Rhaenyra because he felt betrayed by Viserys. “It's a moment that I think is surprising and shocking for Daemon as a character, but I also think it's one of those things that's been set up over the course of the entire season.
Martin's Fire & Blood book are accurate, then Daemon will cheat on Rhaenyra with two significant characters in House of the Dragon.
While House Of The Dragon episode 4 showed Daemon was able to seduce Rhaenyra by kissing and undressing her, he couldn't fulfill the act due to impotence.
Alas, the baby did not survive and while it wasn't shown very well on camera, there were debates among fans whether the baby was normal-looking or deformed.
Rhaenyra Targaryen has had six children, but unfortunately already lost two of them, including one during birth. House of the Dragon's second season wll undoubtedly continue to follow her family as they battle for control of the Iron Throne.
When we last saw the two, Daemon was banished from the realm for the second time in just four episodes. Otto Hightower had informed the King of Daemon and Rhaenyra's "coupling," as he nervously called it, even though she actually slept with Ser Criston Cole.
Who died first, Rhaenyra or Daemon? - Quora. Officially, Daemon did. Daemon's God's Eye aerial duel with Aemond took place “on the twenty-second day of the fifth moon” of 130 AC. Rhaenyra was fed to Sunfyre “on the twenty-second day of the tenth month” of that same year.
However, she was confined to her chambers in the last year of her life, and in the books, she goes insane and dies during an outbreak of Winter Fever in 133 AC. Prince Daemon marries Rhaenyra following the death of his second wife, Laena Velaryon, and they have three children.
