Rhaenyra Targaryen had six children: three sons with her first husband Laenor Velaryon (but secretly with Harwin Strong)—Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey—and three with her uncle-husband Daemon Targaryen—Aegon, Viserys, and a stillborn daughter, Visenya. Her three eldest sons (Jace, Luke, Joff) were known as the "Strong Boys" due to their dark hair, unlike the silver-gold Targaryen/Velaryon look, and all died during the Dance of the Dragons, while her sons by Daemon, Aegon III and Viserys II, survived to become kings.
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.
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).
Spoiler alert for the books. In George R.R. Martin's fictitious history of the Targaryen family, we learn that Rhaenyra does eventually have children with her uncle Daemon: two boys named Viserys II and Aegon III, both of whom eventually become king.
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.
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'.
The Targaryens after the Dance followed male inheritance or else one of Aegon III's daughters would've been Queen. Which means that Daemon was ahead of Rhaenyra in succession, making Aegon III king because of Daemon.
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.
For their betrayal, Hugh Hammer and Ulf White infamously became known as the Two Betrayers. It was believed that the treachery of the two dragonseeds was out of avarice, as they both resent the lands that Rhaenyra gave them and that Hugh and Ulf, who have a lust for power and wealth, desired to become lords.
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.
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 ...
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.
😧 Emma D'Arcy, 33 yrs old today Rhaenyra Targaryen died aged 33.
Although the specifics are unconfirmed in the novel, Vhagar, as the oldest she-dragon, has laid eggs before and these eggs have hatched. That means a lot of the other dragons such as Aegon II's Sunfyre and Rhaenys' Meleys who were both attacked by Vhagar in 'House of the Dragon', could be Vhagar's children.
The following verse, though, makes it clear Joseph did not sleep with Mary until after the birth of Jesus. She remained a virgin, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14). After that time, Joseph and Mary would have other children together (Matthew 13:55–57; Mark 3:31–32).
Given the biblical account and the Jewish cultural practices in Mary's day, the most plausible age Mary would have been when she had Jesus was most likely 15 or 16 years old. It is believed that Mary would have been about 14 years old when Gabriel gave her the news of the Lord being born to her (Ibid.)."
The Gospel of James states that Mary remained a life-long virgin, because Joseph was an old man who married her without physical desire, and the brothers of Jesus mentioned in the canonical gospels are explained as Joseph's sons by an earlier marriage.
Well the three who are usually seen as the worst are Mad King Aerys , Maegor the Cruel, and Aegon the Unworthy, as their names might suggest.
Robert claimed the Iron Throne because he started the war and killed Prince Rhaegar personally. Robert also had the best claim to the throne among the rebels, being of Targaryen descent through his mother.
King Aegon V Targaryen, also called Aegon "the Unlikely" and informally known as "Egg", was the fifteenth king of the Targaryen dynasty to rule the Seven Kingdoms. He was the father of the Mad King and his sister-wife Queen Rhaella.
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.
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 !!!
In the end, Jon was spared a death sentence and instead ordered to rejoin the Night's Watch and head north of the Wall to spend the rest of his time.
