The Targaryen who loses an eye is Aemond Targaryen, the second son of King Viserys I, during a childhood brawl with his nephew Lucerys Velaryon (Rhaenyra's son) at Storm's End, where Luke slashed Aemond's face after Aemond taunted the younger boys, resulting in Aemond gaining a distinctive sapphire eye gem in place of his lost eye and fueling the Targaryen civil war, the Dance of the Dragons.
Aemond Targaryen: Lost Eye but Gained a Dragon. Witness the intense exchange as Aemond Targaryen loses an eye but gains a dragon in this gripping scene from House of the Dragon.
Viewers will remember that King Viserys (Paddy Considine) and Alicent Hightower's (Olivia Cooke) son Aemond lost his eye back in Episode 7 during a fight with Rhaenyra's sons and Daemon's daughters. Lucerys sliced his eye out with a knife, and now in the season 1 finale, years later, Aemond wants revenge.
Aemon was the maester at Castle Black in service of the Night's Watch. He was among Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's closest advisors. He was born Aemon Targaryen [d] and was the last known Targaryen in Westeros. He was the great-uncle of Daenerys Targaryen, and unbeknownst to him, the great-great uncle of Jon Snow.
The four boys fought with wooden training swords, until Aemond called his nephews "Strongs". Jacaerys, old enough to understand the insult, attacked Aemond again. When Aemond gained the upper hand and began to beat Jacaerys savagely, Lucerys drew his dagger and slashed at Aemond's face, taking out his right eye.
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.
Aemond dies in a fight with Daemon.
Daemon even orchestrates a plot to have him killed, but the assassins, Blood and Cheese, kill Aegon's son instead.
Sensing something in Jon (his Targaryen ancestry), Drogon allows the King in the North to get close enough to pet him; much to Daenerys's surprise.
Jacaerys “Jace” Velaryon: Born in 114 AC, Rhaenyra's first son by Laenor Velaryon (but, really, by Ser Harwin Strong) is meant to be four years younger than his half-uncle Aemond.
During the wedding, exiled knight Ser Jorah Mormont pledges his loyalty to Daenerys while her benefactor Illyrio Mopatis gifts her three petrified dragon eggs. Daenerys is afraid of her new husband initially, but after learning the Dothraki language, she begins to bond with Drogo and genuinely falls in love with him.
During the Dance of the Dragons, Hugh Hammer, Ulf the White, Addam of Hull, and Nettles were all found to be capable dragonriders. They were suspected to be Targaryen bastards, but never confirmed in the text. In particular, Nettles is sometimes pointed to as likely not a Targaryen.
Gray Eyes: Topping the list with its scarcity, gray eyes are found in less than 1% of the global population. This rare shade is even more uncommon than green, making it the rarest eye color. Gray eyes possess just enough melanin to dim blue wavelengths of light, creating their distinct appearance.
TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wondrous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.
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.
Lyanna was prepared to name her daughter Visenya. When Jon was born a boy, Lyanna had to choose a new name. Rhaegar had told Lyanna that he believed Aegon was the best name for a male TPTWP/ASOIAF. Lyanna knew fAegon was dead so she named Jon “Aegon” in order to follow Rhaegar's wishes.
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.
In the book Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin upon which the series is based, Alicent is nine years older than Rhaenyra.
Helaena and Aegon had three children: the twins Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, and Maelor.
Ser Jorah Mormont loved Daenerys Targaryen with all his heart, though she never returned his love. 🌹 He stood by her side through betrayal, exile, and war, proving his loyalty again and again. ⚔️ In the Battle of Winterfell, he gave his life protecting his queen, dying in her arms.
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'.
No, Ned never told Catelyn the truth about Jon. As far as she knew, Jon was Ned's son by another woman. Ned never revealed to her that Jon was actually his nephew, the son of his sister Lyanna and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
There's no single "saddest" death, but Hodor, Shireen Baratheon, and Ned Stark are consistently cited due to their tragic innocence, shocking betrayal, or profound thematic weight, with Hodor's mind-bending sacrifice ("Hold the door") and Shireen's burning by her own father often topping lists for sheer emotional devastation, while Ned's execution defined the show's brutal realism.
Meanwhile, Prince Daemon's body isn't found. And while there are rumors he somehow survived and lived out the remainder of his life with Nettles (a dragonrider he starts having an affair with), the book says historians give “the tale no credence.”
King Aegon II effectively wins the war when he has Rhaenyra burned and eaten by his dragon, Sunfyre, in Dragonstone.
