Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories	comment	Two novellas written by George R.R. Martin. Set in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe about 170 years before the events of the main series, they are written as an in-universe text and presented as the writings of the fictional Archmaester Gyldayn.The published novellas include: The Princess and the Queen, or, the Blacks and the Greens: Narrating the events of the Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession between rival Targaryen branches 170 years before the time of the main series, published as part of the Dangerous Women anthology in December 2013. Upon the death of Viserys I, King of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, his two eldest children go to war over the Iron Throne. His second wife, Alicent Hightower, conspires to crown their son Aegon with the help of her supporters, called the Greens. His chosen heir and the only surviving child of his first marriage, Rhaenyra, begins her campaign on her seat on the island of Dragonstone with the support of her allies, the Blacks, after hearing that her half-brother sits on the throne. The names of the rival factions arose from the fact Princess Rhaenyra wore black at a court ball while Alicent wore green. The novella is written in a story-styled manner with instances of dialogue, with quotes from Septon Eustace and the fool Mushroom, witnesses to the events. The Rogue Prince, or, The King's Brother: Narrating the exploits of Prince Daemon Targaryen, including the events leading to "The Princess and the Queen", published as part of the Rogues in June 2014. The second novella (which takes place before chronologically) spans the reign of Viserys, detailing the events that led to his coronation up to the moment that led to bloodshed. It focuses on the life and adventures of Viserys' younger brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen, as he consorts with the lowborn of the King's Landing, wages war on an archipelago called the Stepstones, and navigates his brother's increasing divided royal court. Contrary to TPATQ, the novella is written as a biography-styled document with little to no dialogue and in succinct language, leading the text to be considerably shorter than in the previous novella.Characters and tropes related to the novellas sprawl from all over Westeros, but the main ones are included in: The House Targaryen Ancestors page, especially the entry on the court of King Viserys I; The Court of Aegon II for the Queen's men ("The Greens"); House Hightower, the main instigators of the war and the backers of The Greens; The Court of Rhaenyra I for the Princess' men ("The Blacks"); House Velaryon, the main backers of The Blacks.George R. R. Martin announced that these history chronicles comes from his notes on the backstory of Westeros and that he had tentative plans to eventually publish what some fans call the GRRMarillion but which he tentatively titled "Fire and Blood". Some of the notes also feature in The World of Ice & Fire.As Martin explained, he always knew a general outline of the Dance of the Dragons, but when he sat down to write the novella for an edited collection he got a bit "carried away" and ended up writing an 80,000 word history for a submission with a 30,000 word limit. As a result The Princess and the Queen is presented as an excerpt from the longer in-universe history book Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories. When the subsequent prequel novellas The Rogue Prince was released, 10,000 words long, it is technically a prequel to TPATQ but was written at the same time - you could actually read them in chronological order and you wouldn't get spoiled for later events. Fans then had to parse out from the World of Ice and Fire other major subplots which were part of the longer story: The war lasted two years, but TPATQ ends half a year before the end of the war. TPATQ focuses on the eastern theater of the war, while only mentioning in broad strokes what happened in the central theater as the Starks/Tullys fought against the Lannisters in the Riverlands - with about a half dozen characters who could be described as the Hero of Another Story. The Greyjoys were barely mentioned at all, when the World book reveals there was an entire western front to the war as the ironborn attacked the Westerlands and the Reach - which continued to drag on as a side conflict well into the six year long winter that followed the main war. The major shakeups in the Free Cities due to spillover from the war: the Lys-Myr-Tyrosh alliance attacked Rhaenyra's faction in the Battle of the Gullet, but took such heavy losses that within a few months the alliance was tearing itself apart. A counter-alliance formed between Braavos-Pentos-Lorath to the north, leading to a major war to crush the "Kingdom of the Three Daughters" before it got too powerful to stop. Something called the "Lyseni Spring" happened, in which Lys got taken over by a Westerosi concubine from House Swann, then apparently stabbed Tyrosh and Myr in the back in the war to become even more powerful by the end - at which time the Rogare bank of Lys briefly grew more powerful than the Iron Bank of Braavos.In 2016, the Season 5 Blu-Ray/ DVD of Game of Thrones featured a 20-minuted animated/slide adaptation of The Princess of the Queen, "The Dance of Dragons".In 2018, George R.R. Martin did indeed publish Fire & Blood, which contains the fuller account of the Dance, it cause, events, and aftermath.

Rhaenyra's relationship with Criston Cole turned sour, causing him to defect to the Greens. Her rumored affair with Harwin Strong also turned many people against her. And her marriage to Daemon won her even more enemies.

She wounded him, killed his dragon Sunfyre, and survived her burns long enough to be taken to a maester, though her own dragon Moondancer ended up dying as well.

He also glosses over his own biases on the subject: e.g. in many places Mushroom is cited as saying something which the narrative notes is obviously false, but no follow-up statement serves to blunt the force of it.

He named her his heir publicly before several lords and ladies, and even made her sit in on Small Council meetings to properly train her. Nobody opposed this until his second wife Alicent gave birth to sons. (That was one of the reasons that later led to several powerful families fighting for the Blacks during the Dance of the Dragons, including the honor-bound and oath-obsessed Starks.)

Daemon had him killed. When Vaemond's wife, children and brothers complained about it to Viserys, he had their tongues cut out.

Joffrey Velaryon's death was pretty awful too. He fell from the back of a dragon, crashed into several buildings on the way down, and was impaled by his own sword and the broken shards of rooftop slates.

The actual queen at that point was Helaena Targaryen, Aegon's wife and her daughter-in-law. Technically, because of the tragedies that befell on Helaena, Alicent did assume a position of Queen.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: Both sides would. After Aemond killed 14 year old Lucerys, Prince Daemon sent cutthroats to kill one of Aegon II's sons, 6 year old Jaehaerys. Alfred Broome advocates killing both Princess Baela (13) and Prince Aegon the Younger (10) when Aegon II has them prisoner. Marston Waters and Aegon II decide against it.

Mostly since it leaves out details from The Rogue Prince (which would admittedly make it far too long), the Lore version implies that all of Rhaenyra's children were legitimate. They also leave out Prince Viserys' survival, implying that Aegon III was the only survivor and the youngest son of Rhaenyra.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_6682d6e4	comment	Dying Moment of Awesome: Several. Princess Rhaenys and Meleys the Red Queen died fighting the whole royal army and two enemy dragon riders on their own. Rodrik Dustin killed two men with one arm before succumbing to wounds that should have killed him far earlier. Jon Roxton sliced Hugh Hammer almost in half before being zerg rushed by Hugh's men. Even then he killed three men in a ten-on-one fight, likely only dying because he lost his footing. Addam Velaryon and his dragon faced both Tessarion and Vermithor knowing Seasmoke couldn't win against them both. He only had to give his men enough time to flee. Hobert Hightower's death was actually his greatest accomplishment. He knowingly drank poisoned wine in a Taking You with Me gambit when he could have very easily (and was likely expected to) chicken out. Both Daemon and Aemond get one in Mutual Kill Air Joust.

Hightower brought The Alcoholic Ulf some poisoned wine, but Ulf suspected something was up and refused to drink. In order to get Ulf to drink the poison, Hightower had some first, after which Ulf lowered his guard and drank too. Both men promptly died.

Queen Helaena actually went mad when her eldest son was assassinated in front of her and her other children. Alicent has to live with the fact that her ambition got most of her family, including all but one of her descendants, killed. Corlys is horrified when Rhaenyra, in her paranoia, turns on Addam Velaryon, who was his heir and possibly his son. Keep in mind that Corlys had already lost of his wife because of her. Nettles goes into exile to avoid her death sentence, leaving Daemon depressed to the point of Suicide by Cop. Rhaenyra's sons died one after another. Luke was murdered by his uncle Aemond and Jace got hit with an arrow in battle. Joff's death is horrific in it's own special way: he got himself killed doing something reckless because his mother took her eye off him for just a minute.

Most likely it was just an accident, since no one had expected them to return to Harrenhal at that time.

The Greens officially won the war and Aegon II was crowned; however, both he and his dragon suffered debilitating injuries that neither ever recovered from. Sunfyre died of his wounds, and Aegon lived in crippling pain. Aegon was poisoned soon after and died without any heirs, meaning that Rhaenyra's claim was posthumously vindicated as her son Aegon III became the next king.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_b2f4114e	comment	Heir Club for Men: The primary argument against Rhaenyra's ascension as queen was her gender. It's also subject to a lot of Deconstruction, in that the main opponent to her claim is not really the male-dominated society, but her stepmother Queen Alicent, whose ambitions for her children lead her to usurp the throne. Likewise, the scrutiny on Rhaenyra's conduct or misconduct is so disproportionate that slights that are forgivable in men are exaggerated and distorted for her, which slowly makes her paranoid and highly image-conscious, leading to quite a few political blunders. When Aegon II feeds her to her dragon, nobody speaks against it or denounces Aegon as a kinslayer, except Cregan Stark.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_babc974	comment	Sadistic Choice: The infamous "Blood and Cheese" incident. Blood and Cheese were two assassins sent by Daemon Targaryen to infiltrate the Red Keep to carry out the retaliation for the death of Lucerys Velaryon. Their real names were lost to history, but the former used to be a sergeant of the City Watch and the latter a rat-catcher in the Red Keep. Together, they broke into Queen Alicent's bedroom, tied her up, and waited for Queen Helaena Targaryen to bring her children to kiss their grandmother goodnight. They killed the guard and then forced Helaena to choose which of her two sons she wanted them to kill. When Helaena eventually chose her youngest, 2 year old Maelor, they killed 6 year old Jaehaerys instead, so that Maelor would live the rest of his life knowing his mother chose him to die. And for good measure, they threatened to rape her 6-year-old daughter Jaehaera if she didn't make up her mind fast enough. It’s no wonder that Helaena fell into a crippling depression following the incident and never recovered.

It was commonly believed that only those with Valyrian blood (Targaryens, Velaryons, and their bastards, called "dragonseeds"), could become dragon riders, but Nettles, the rider of Sheepstealer, is not known to have any Valyrian blood.

Alicent got a bit of this as well. Rumors circulated that she may have slept with Daemon, or Viserys while his first wife was alive, or even the then feeble and senile King Jaehaerys.

One example is that dragons are choosy about their riders, but their criteria is mysterious. It ranges from having a mystical bond with the rider to being bribed with food; regardless, they are stubbornly loyal to those they chose to bond with.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_d91d0365	comment	The Magic Goes Away: The battles were so intense that most of the dragons died. Those hatched after the war were much smaller and weaker than their predecessors, and the species went extinct within a generation. Invoked by the people of King's Landing. A charismatic man called the Shepherd preached that dragons would eventually kill them all, stirring the city into such a frenzy that a riot formed to storm the Dragonpit and kill every dragon in it. Prince Joffrey raced on the back of his mother's dragon Syrax to stop it, but she rejected him as a rider and threw him off her back. Syrax and all the other dragons were killed, but not before burning thousands of people to death in the process.

Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories / int_e3a4c481	comment	Turncoat: Several, most infamously Hugh Hammer and Ulf the White. Both were bastard dragon riders raised to power by Rhaenyra for helping her cause. They rewarded her favor by burning down Tumbleton and defecting to the Greens. History now knows them as "The Betrayers". Rhaenyra's final downfall came when several of the men she had left to garrison Dragonstone changed sides to the Greens, either because of old grievances or promises of wealth and power. When she returned to island, they lulled her into a false sense of security before killing the remainder of her Queensguard and turning her over to Aegon II.
