After Rhaenyra Targaryen's death, the Iron Throne was held by her half-brother and rival, Aegon II Targaryen. Following Aegon II's death shortly after, Rhaenyra's son, Aegon III Targaryen (also known as Aegon the Younger), eventually became king, securing the throne for Rhaenyra's bloodline.
The war continues after Rhaenyra's death, with her Black supporters rallying behind her fourth son, Aegon the Younger, despite the latter being imprisoned as a hostage by Aegon II. Following Aegon II's death, he is later freed and crowned as King Aegon III Targaryen, ending the conflict.
Warning: spoilers for "House of the Dragon" season two, episode three. The episode confirms that King Viserys did not want Aegon II to be his successor. Fans are now mocking Alicent Targaryen for starting a civil war over a simple name mistake.
Although viewers thought Jon would end up on the Iron Throne or as the king consort with Daenerys as queen, Bran was named the new ruler. After Tyrion was brought before a council in Westeros, he said there should be a vote, but his choice would be Bran because of his narrative and special skills.
Aegon III Targaryen, sometimes referred to as 'the Year King', was the ninth Targaryen monarch of Westeros. The younger half-brother and Prince Consort of Queen Baela Targaryen, he inherited the throne after she and their newborn daughter Rhaenyra II Targaryen died in the birthing bed.
King Aegon IV Targaryen, known as Aegon the Unworthy, is considered to be one of the worst Targaryen kings ever to sit on the Iron Throne. He sired numerous bastards, legitimizing them on his deathbed, an act that led to five Blackfyre Rebellions.
Despite being a sworn maester, there were those who felt that the crown should pass to Aemon. Aemon refused the throne and it passed to his younger brother, who became King Aegon V. Aegon later became known as "Aegon the Unlikely" due to the unlikely chain of events causing a fourthborn prince to become king.
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.
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.
This came about because, as Bran warged into his mind (taking him over), he warged back in time — causing the seizure and implanting the phrase "hold the door" (AKA "Hodor") into his mind. For those working on the show, their version was a bittersweet moment to shoot.
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'.
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.
King Aerys II Targaryen ('The Mad King')
The final undisputed monarch of the Seven Kingdoms from House Targaryen, King Aerys II Targaryen is widely known as the "Mad King" who was usurped by King Robert I Baratheon. Aerys II is a direct descendant of King Viserys I Targaryen through his daughter Rhaenyra.
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.
It's possible he was still flapping his wing and slowed his descent somewhat. Daemon could have died. But it's suspicious that George deliberately wrote that his body was never found and that his death was never confirmed.
As of Season 2 Episode 7, Rhaenyra's army has at least seven flying dragons, overwhelmingly outnumbering the Greens, who have only three (with Sunfyre being too wounded to fly anytime soon).
Jaime did love Brienne, but he also loved his sister and only one of them was facing an entire army with three dragons gunning for her. After Sansa sadistically cackled to Jaime about her imminent demise, he knew he couldn't leave her alone.
He confirms that it did happen and that Rhaegar was in love with Lyanna and she was in love with him. Bran then flashes forward to Lyanna's death, and hears Jon's birth name, whispered to Ned Stark with Lyanna's dying breath: Aegon Targaryen, the same as his half-brother.
King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, commonly known as the Old King and Jaehaerys the Conciliator, was the fourth king of the Targaryen dynasty. The longest-reigning king in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, he is known for building the Kingsroad and reconciling with the Faith after the Faith Militant uprising.
So basically Beric Dondarrion had died seven times, and everytime he died he was revived by Thoros of Myr's prayers to the Lord of Light. It was said the lord of light brought him back because he hadn't served his purpose.
1. Ramsay Bolton. Only Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) could make Joffrey look tame. Fans thought his penchant for flaying prisoners and cutting pieces off of Theon Greyjoy was as dark as he could get.
both cercei and tyrion have shown several times, that they wanted nothing more than each others deaths. the whole idea of " even in the end, they were family, so therefore he's sad" is kinda wierd considering what his character has been through for SEVERAL seasons regarding his family.
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.
Jon is the last known Targaryen, but his identity as the son of Rhaegar Targaryen is kept a secret, and he was exiled to the Night's Watch for the assassination of Daenerys, effectively ending House Targaryen.
Rhaegar's son Aegon that he had with Elia Martell, was murdered by the Mountain when the Lannister army sacked Kings Landing. Lyanna gave birth to Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen after that event.
