Fire & Blood / int_133f1c12	comment	The Spymaster: Tyanna of the Tower served as this unofficially for Maegor. Mysaria the White Worm similarly served as this for her lover Daemon during his time as Commander of the City Watch, before later serving in a more official capacity for the Blacks during the Dance of Dragons. Larys Strong the Clubfoot served as this for the Greens during the Dance.

King Aegon II grants it, and Ser Marston Waters dubs him "Ser Trystane Fyre" (as "Truefyre" is considered too presumptuous) before he is beheaded by Ser Alfred Broome.

That Aegon II's death came from betrayal by the head of his own Kingsguard, because such a thing would never happen, especially not after a long, brutal civil war marked by lots of betrayal on all sides, including by members of the Kingsguard.

And there is a very good possibility she didn't love him back. Subverted with Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne. All their older and wiser advisors were dead certain that the two of them marrying would start a new round of religious uproar over Targaryen brother-sister marriages just when the fallout from the last one had finally settled, but the two of them were deeply in love and determined. As it turns out, they were also politically skilled enough to convince both the common people and the Faith that incest was allowed as long as it was Targaryens doing it, and they went on to be a highly successful royal couple.

This manages to overlook the fact that while this is true, a castle isn't just stone. And a sufficiently heated piece of stone can melt. Jaehaerys asks what exactly the young and willful Princess Saera could possibly get up to, watched as she is by septas and knights and ladies-in-waiting. Gyldayn notes that he really didn't like finding out the answer... which, as it turns out, was "a hell of a lot". Lucerys Targaryen's visit to Borros Baratheon was allowed because everyone assumed it'd be a short and safe trip. It's definitely short, at least, but for Lucerys, it is not safe.

Fire & Blood / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: There's a strong argument to be made that Archmaester Gyldayn is as unreliable as his sources, and seems to brush over or ignore certain parts of the events, or demonize and lionize historical figures beyond what he relates as direct influence from other writers. He sums up Jaehaerys I's two sons Aemon and Baelon as equally worthy heirs, despite attributing Aemon many times more accomplishments than Baelon, seemingly to validate Baelon as the correct heir over Aemon's daughter Rhaenys.note This could simply be a bias in the general historical tradition of Westeros, rather than Gyldayn as an individual, but the trope applies nonetheless.

At the same time this is only slight as Gyldayn at the same time states most of the awful things attributed to him are true, and unlike Yandel, Gyldayn outright accuses Maegor of rape. Averted with Aegon the Unworthy, as Gyldayn describes him trying to kill his brother Aemon when they were both babies.

Fire & Blood / int_2a6bf668	comment	Inadequate Inheritor: Aenys I and Aegon III are both considered this by historians, due to the former being a weakling and the latter being mopey and unmemorable. Viserys I. He's got the deck stacked against him, as his predecessor is widely viewed as the best king Westeros had. Viserys himself had a long reign, and seems to have been generally well liked with few scandals or major blunders. Unfortunately, he stubbornly ignored the increasingly obvious fault lines in his own court, which led to a succession crisis and disastrous civil war, which became his primary legacy. The first Vulture King led an army of thousands in a war against the Seven Kingdoms. The second Vulture King was a glorified bandit leader and was killed in single combat by Rogar Baratheon, who was a sickly old man at the time. The third wasn't even worth going into detail about, with his only mention being that he was defeated by Borros Baratheon before he and his army went to restore order in King's Landing. Lysaro Rogare, son of the man known as Lysandro the Magnificent, was twice as ambitious as his father but not even half as intelligent or clever. After Lysandro's death, Lysaro inherited the family bank that had made House Rogare so powerfulâ€”and promptly runs it into the ground, causing the ruin of his entire family. The Shepherd, at the height of his power, had thousands of followers and during the Moon of Three Kings controlled roughly a third of King's Landing. After his execution, a man claiming to be him reborn emerges, but gathers no more than a few hundred followers before being arrested. That he had both his hands might have had something to do with his poor influenceâ€”the original Shepherd had lost one for thievery.

Fire & Blood / int_2d768e2d	type	Succession Crisis
Fire & Blood / int_2d768e2d	comment	Succession Crisis: In the immediate aftermath of the Conquest of mainland Westeros, which saw House Hoare utterly wiped out, the Iron Islands fall into infighting over who now rules the islands, with lords on every island (and one Drowned Priest elected by his fellows) naming themselves king. This all comes to a halt when the Targaryens fly over, bring the islands to heel, and force the Ironborn to select a new ruler peacefully. The birth of Aenys I's children sparks debate about whether that means they come before Maegor in the line of succession or not. The Dance of Dragons comes about due to arguments on whether an elder daughter can be named heir over her younger brothers, and King Viserys's failure to properly settle the matter before his death. When Dalton Greyjoy is killed by one of his salt wives a few years after the Dance ends, he leaves two sons behind, but both are too young to rule (and their mothers are salt wives, not rock wives, so they're not allowed to rule as regents). Before long, his various sisters, uncles, and cousins are propping one or the other of his sons up against each other as the rightful heir, while a pretender claiming to be descended from House Hoare pops up as well. It takes the Westerlands' invasion of the Iron Islands to end this mess. After Jeyne Arryn dies childless early in Aegon III's reign, three different cousins from different branches of the family are soon each claiming to be her true heir and fighting for control of the Vale. When the claimants all refuse royal arbitration, the king's regents finally have enough and send in troops to end the conflict.

His men aren't exactly happy about being late either, since the whole point of going had been to die fighting rather than drain the North's resources in winter.

Fire & Blood / int_33f1c576	comment	Not Helping Your Case: Ser Lucamore the Lusty was found to have married three different women despite being sworn to celibacy as a knight of the Kingsguard. He plead for mercy from King Jaehaerys, who might have granted it, had Lucamore not begged to be spared "for the sake of my wives and children." Princess Saera Targaryen, having admitted to sleeping with three young noblemen, blithely said she could solve matters by just marrying all three of them, citing Maegor's multiple marriages as precedent. Her father, Jaehaerys I, who unsurprisingly still hated his late uncle, exploded at that, angrily demanding to know if that was who Saera aspired to be, before having his Kingsguard get her out of his sight and more or less declare she was no daughter of his. During the period when Aegon III barricaded himself in Maegor's Holdfast to protect his brother's Lyseni wife from those at court who sought to arrest her and the rest of her family, Marston Waters, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, tried to convince the boy king to surrender, insisting that as long as Waters stood at his side, no man would do him harm. Aegon shouted back that Waters had already proved that claim false when he'd forced Aegon to watch his mother be torn apart by his uncle's dragon. Following on from the above example, when Ser Gareth Long, the Red Keep's master at arms, tried to get Aegon III to emerge, Aegon (who hated the cruel and abusive Gareth) shouted back Gareth couldn't coerce him into behaving by threatening Gaemon Palehair, Aegon's deceased friend/whipping boy.

Both had suffered depression and mental instability after going through severe trauma, possibly stemming from the same event: they both witnessed the murder of Jaehaerys, Helaena's eldest son and Jaehaera's twin brother. The fact that the Targaryens were known for incestuous marriages, with Helaena's own children being fathered by her brother, may not have helped due to possible genetic defects; Jaehaera in particular was described as "eight, going on four" shortly after her marriage to Aegon III.

Of course, he's against a group of armed men, so he hurries inside and leaves the job to Sandoq the Shadow. Thirteen men come to arrest his mistress. None of them make it across the drawbridge, and Amaury Peake's head gets split open like a melon. When Rogar Baratheon ordered his men to seperate the newlywed Jaehaerys and Alysanne, Jaehaerys's Kingsguard stepped in the path of the Baratheon soldiers and bluntly stated anyone who tried to lay a hand on the King and Queen would die for it. Nor do they care that the numbers aren't in their favor; after Rogar points this out, one of the white cloaks promptly says Rogar would die first if they came to blows. When a trio of Septas, offended by the Targaryen practice of incestuous marriage, tried to assassinate the pregnant Queen Alysanne in a bathhouse at Maidenpool, her maids, despite being naked and unarmed, flung themselves at the would-be assassins, holding them up long enough for the Kingsguard to arrive.

He then proceeds to purge the Red Keep of most of the previous governing body, leading many to fear that he was planning to either establish Aegon III as a Puppet King, or declare himself king. In the end, he does neither, and after bringing Aegon II's murderers to justice, relinquishes power, and returns to Winterfell. It also bears mentioning that, though he would've had the right to, he refused to actually sit on the Iron Throne during his brief tenure, instead sitting on a simple bench at its base. Rogar Baratheon comes very close to subverting this when he served as regent for the young Jaehaerys, taking steps to make him his own Puppet King (mostly out of fear that the king would become like his weak father and ruin the realm by inaction; or worse, be like his uncle and ruin the realm through violence). However, Jaehaerys not only manages to prove Rogar wrong, but personally puts Rogar in his place, and the Lord of Storm's End backs off, with the other regents shortly after making him give up his post as Hand.

Fire & Blood / int_424c9a9b	comment	During the anarchic period in the Dance of Dragons known as the "Moon of the Three Kings" where various armed gangs carved King's Landing into their spheres of influence, a prostitute called Essie claims that her son Gaemon is a bastard son of the disappeared King Aegon II and thus the rightful king. After Aegon II returns with an army to restore order and imprisons the various dissidents, Essie recants her claims about Gaemon's paternity just before her execution, admitting he was fathered by a Lyseni sailor. Though most historians in-universe consider the matter closed, there is reasonable doubt that she was telling the truth, given Aegon II was notorious for sleeping around and already had several bastard children in King's Landing, and Essie only recanted after a lengthy period in the Red Keep's torture chamber, making it entirely possible she was tortured into a false confession.note And then there's the matter of Princess Saera Targaryen taking ship for Lys a generation ago, and setting herself up as a highly sought-after prostitute with bastards of her own â€¦

Gyladyn just says he dies of a stroke, with no build up or mention of anything about what he was particularly doing at the time, and just moves on to what happened between his kids afterward. Similarly, Visenya. After the Battle Beneath the God's Eye, Maegor returns to King's Landing to find his mom's suddenly dead. Gyldayn doesn't even say what killed herâ€”only that she was wasting away with ageâ€”otherwise, she's just dead. Balerion the Black Dread, the largest and most powerful dragon in existence, who can singlehandledly destroy entire armies and cover small towns beneath his shadow, quietly dies of old age late in the reign of Jaehaerys I. Deliberately invoked by Criston Cole's killers; rather than acquiesce to his demands for a three on one Trial by Combat, the commanders of the enemy army Cole was facing had their archers riddle him with arrows so there could be no romanticisation of his death.

When Cheese, the Red Keep's former rat catcher, failed to be found, Aegon II ordered every rat catcher in the city hanged. Prince Aemond murdered Lucerys Velaryon to get revenge for him slicing his eye out. Later, after King's Landing fell to the Blacks, Aemond would kill almost every man and boy of House Strong, as he believed that Rhaenyra's first three children, including Lucerys, was secretly fathered by Harwin Strong, and that Larys Strong, the master of whispers, had engineered the city's defeat.

Fire & Blood / int_593d7cbe	comment	Designated Villain: In-universe, with Rhaenyra and the Blacks. She had the initial claim to the throne, as mandated by her father, but it's Aegon II and the Greens who refuse to acknowledge this, cover up Viserys I's death so they can solidify their claim (and, it must be noted, acted pretty damn suspiciously in the matter, given the servant who first learned about it went straight to Queen Alicent's room), imprison anyone who supports her, or even looks like they might support her, almost certainly did kill the first man to speak out against them, and threaten to kill her and her children for "treason", when Rhaenyra's initial offer was to forgive most of them if they just accepted her. Despite this, and thanks to the stuff that happens later, she still gets slammed as a usurper forever. That said, it's debatable if Viserys really had the authority to go against standard succession laws to make his daughter heir, and the Greens were not the only side to commit atrocities in the Dance. Happens with Rhaenyra again when the Betrayal at Tumbletown is covered. Gyldayn calls her "ungrateful" for not giving lands and titles to Ser Ulf and Hugh the Hammer, who haven't done anything to deserve them, and which still belong to other people, during an event where they've just proven to be utterly untrustworthy.

Once it's clear that Aegon II intends to fight Cregan Stark's forces to the last man, Larys Strong, Corlys Velaryon and others assassinate him, arrest or kill his supporters, and declare Aegon the Younger king before immediately surrendering to Cregan. A group of high-ranking officials in the Red Keep (possibly at the behest of Unwin Peake, though his guilt is never proven) attempt to kill Aegon III and enthrone his brother Viserys, using the situation as a pretext to eliminate all the Lyseni who have gained influence on Westeros.

Fire & Blood / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: Gyldayn emphasizes that Queen Alyssa's opposition to Jaehaerys and Alysanna's marriage and attempts to seperate them came purely out of concern for their safety and reasonable fears it would spark another war with the Faith (as the previous marriage between her children brought about). As they were both still very young, untested in ruling, and former members of the Faith Militant were still alive and could take up arms again, it was a completely fair concern. Gyldayn readily admits the same cannot be said for her husband, however... Alicent Hightower was at the time trying to keep her hold on power and her son on a throne she'd encouraged him to usurp, but she had a point when she dismissed Aegon II's advisors insisting his only hope of surviving having essentially lost the Dance of Dragons was to abdicate and beg his nephew (next in the line of succession) to let him join the Night's Watch; Alicent noted the boy was hardly likely to show mercy to the man who'd fed the boy's beloved mother to a dragon and forced him to watch. Aegon III expelling his former regents from King's Landing the moment he was old enough to rule as King in his own right and cancelling the plans they'd made for him was extremely rude and alienated a fair number of the nobles who'd been ruling the country for him, but after all the crap Aegon went through in his childhood with various nobles (particularly Unwin Peake) trying to exploit him and his family (up to and including trying to murder Aegon, his wife and sister-in-law, and install his kid brother Viserys as a Puppet King) for their own ambitions, it's hardly surprising he's come to the conclusion the nobility are by and large self-serving bastards he wants nothing to do with.

Fire & Blood / int_70ade2c4	comment	Culture Clash: This is the 'official' catalyst of Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys' invasion of Westeros. (Unofficially, the trio had already been scouting out the possibility of invading for years beforehand.) King Argilac proposes an alliance between the Targaryens and the Stormlands via a marriage between Aegon and Argilac's daughter Argella. Aegon refuses on his part as he's already married and offers Orys Baratheon as the prospective bridegroom, since by his own standards his second in command is a highly suitable match: his most treasured companion after his two wives, an extremely competent warrior, and carrying the blood of the dragon in his veins. By Westerosi standards, however, Aegon is simply offering his subordinate... who's also heavily rumoured to be his bastard half-brother. Argilac takes it as a gross insult to both himself and his daughter and maims the messenger in a fit of rage, sending back his own insult to the Targaryens — who promptly start mustering their army. The first few generations of the Targaryen dynasty were constantly running up against the Westerosi aversion to brother-sister incest. The marriages of Aegon I, Visenya and Rhaenys were accepted largely because they married long before they invaded Westeros and conquered most of the continent, and Aenys I married his cousin Alyssa Velaryon which was acceptable in Westerosi society — but when Aenys declared that his eldest children Aegon and Rhaena would marry each other, he was shocked by the immense backlash from the smallfolk, lords and particularly the Faith. (Admittedly, it didn't exactly help that his younger brother Maegor had infuriated the High Septon and several pious lords of the realm two years before, by taking Alys Harroway as a second wife while Ceryse Hightower was still very much alive). Sending Aegon and Rhaena on a royal progress to try and win public approval only exacerbated problems — including Aenys being labelled 'King Abomination' for being a child of incest himself — and eventually resulted in the Faith Militant uprising, which turned most of Westeros into a war zone. After Maegor died and Jaehaerys took the throne, his mother and many of his advisors were horrified when it emerged that he and his sister Alysanne wanted to marry each other, as they foresaw another militant uprising; they were proven right to be worried, as a group of septas attempted to murder Alysanne due to her being pregnant with her brother's child. Jaeherys eventually came up with the Doctrine of Exceptionalism which argued that since Targaryens were not the same as other humans, the laws of the Seven did not apply to them and thus for them incest was not a sin, and fortunately(?) for future generations of the family the Faith came to accept it. The few times the North are important players in the story, their honor-obsessed culture inevitably clashes with that of their Southern counterparts. This is most notable during Cregan Stark's Hour of the Wolf, where he tries to have all of the conspirators for Aegon II's assassination put to death. While Aegon was a usurper and the murderer of the queen Cregan pledged his loyalty to, the fact that he was murdered by men who had sworn an oath of loyalty to him was an act of betrayal that Cregan could not tolerate.

Her brother-husband is killed by their uncle, who then forces her to marry him; she has to send her infant daughters into hiding in order to protect them from him, and by the time they're reunited years later she's a stranger to her own children; she does get to take back in one of her daughters, Aerea, but they have a lousy relationship which ultimately leads to Aerea running away, returning years later just in time to die horribly from an unknown malady before they can be reunited; one of her closest friends robs her and runs away, while her other closest friends are all poisoned by her second husband; and she spends her final years isolating herself away in Harrenhal. Aegon III and Queen Jaehaera are the two surviving children of the Dance of the Dragons, ( though Aegon's brother Viserys returns after being long presumed dead) and both have endured so much that many maesters say it's completely understandable that they are sullen and anti-social. Aegon lost his three brothers (and thought a fourth lost) to the war, along with his father and his aunt; he witnessed and barely survived a battle firsthand; personally saw his mother be eaten by a dragon; and had his uncle threaten to castrate him and cut off pieces of his body to intimidate men who supported Aegon's claim. Jaehaera witnessed her brother die in front of her eyes; her mother either committed suicide or was murdered; her father was murdered; and her younger brother was ripped to pieces by a frenzied crowd. Given their life story, it's no wonder Aegon is called The Broken King, or that his marriage to Jaehaera ends as tragically as it did.

After the Dance of the Dragons, Aegon II's small council suggest he marry Rhaenyra's only (known) surviving child Aegon to his only remaining child Jaehaerya to placate Rhaenyra's army of supporters. Aegon initially refuses since he (and his mom) doesn't want the kid going anywhere near the throne, but Larys Strong manages to sway him by pointing out a betrothal isn't a consummation. Anything could happen to the kid before he's old enough for it to become a problem, and so Aegon is swayed. Momentarily. Aegon II, meanwhile, arranges a marriage with Boros Baratheon, planning to marry his daughter Cassandra and start pumping out heirs. The marriage is never consumated.

Her soldiers, having heard what happened to Harrenhal and knowing the dragon Meraxes is with Orys's army, promptly turn on Argella, raise a flag of surrender and hand her over to Orys bound, gagged and naked. Ironically, Orys treats her better than her own men; instead of having his way with Argella, he unties her, gives her clothing, food and praises her late father's courage on the battlefield. Orys's kindness goes a long way towards convincing Argella to marry him to unify the Stormlands under the rule of the Targaryens (adding to the irony because the whole reason Argilac went to war was because he thought Aegon was insulting him by offering Orys's hand to Argella for a marriage alliance).

Fire & Blood / int_7cf2f728	comment	Boomerang Bigot: When the issue of other firstborn daughters inheriting their fathers' lands and titles over their brothers came up, Rhaenyra was against it, not wanting to deal with all the problems that come with deciding succession issues despite going to war to take the Iron Throne from her brother. She declared herself to be a special case since her father went out of his way to name her his heir. On the other hand this does serve to demonstrate the problem with Viserys naming her as heir.

Fire & Blood / int_7dcd88a7	type	Kinslaying Is a Special Kind of Evil
Fire & Blood / int_7dcd88a7	comment	Kinslaying Is a Special Kind of Evil: Maegor kills his nephews (one on the battlefield, one tortured to death by his wife/spymistress), earning him the title of kinslayerâ€”but only very foolish people say it to his face. All of Maegor's children are stillborn and deformed, leading many to believe him cursed for this and all the rest of the trouble and cruelty he caused. Jaehaerys averts this when he rides out with Lord Rogar to face his brother Borys, who had cast his lot with the Vulture King. The king offers to kill Borys rather than have Rogar besmirch his name, and so Rogar "settles" for killing the Vulture King in single combat. The Dance of the Dragons is chock-full of this: It kicked into high gear when Aemond Targaryen murdered his nephew, Lucerys Velaryon as he left Storm's End for cutting out Aemond's eye during a childhood fight, despite the fact Lucerys was unarmed and only fifteen years old. When word of it got, Lucerys's mother Rhaenyra and her supporters, the Blacks, angrily moved to a war footing and his stepfather retaliated by having one of Aemond's nephews murdered. Aemond's own faction, including his mother and grandfatherâ€”but, notably, not his brother the king, who threw a feast for his troubleâ€”were horrified by what Aemond had done and berated him for destroying any chance of a peaceful resolution to the Succession Crisis. Sers Erryk and Arryk Cargyll of the Kingsguard were loyal to Rhaenyra and Aegon, respectively. After Ser Criston Cole orders Ser Arryk to disguise himself as his twin brother and infiltrate Dragonstoneâ€”presumably to assassinate Rhaenyra or one of her childrenâ€”the real Ser Erryk happens upon him, and the two of them engage in single combat that leaves both of them dead. Daemon Targaryen then kills Aemond, his nephew, in single combat astride their dragonsâ€”above the same place where Maegor killed his own nephew, Aegon, astride their own dragons as well. Daemon perishes almost instantly afterwards, making his passing unusually quick and painless for a kinslayer. Finally, Aegon II had his half-sister Rhaenyra burned and eaten alive by his dragon. Already horrifically maimed and wounded, what little of Aegon's life remains is spent consumed in pain and vengeance. He barely outlives Rhaenyra by a matter of months.

Fire & Blood / int_7eb73553	type	Bullying a Dragon
Fire & Blood / int_7eb73553	comment	Bullying a Dragon: Argilac the Arrogant and Harren the Black both thought it was a good idea to tell Aegon to piss off. Argliac mutilated the messengers sent, and Harren took Tempting Fate to dazzling heights. They both died. Meanwhile, Rhaenys does this to Dorne. They prove immune to it, and the subsequent attempts at backing up the threats. An almost literal case when Franklyn Farman decided it was a good idea to insult and kick Rhaena Targaryen (who had a full grown dragon with her) out of Fair Isle as soon as he assumed the lordship. Then he does it again several years later when she comes looking for Elissa. Discussions between the Sealord of Braavos and Jaehaerys's representatives regarding the return of the dragon eggs Elissa Farman had stolen and sold to the former do not go particularly well at first, with both sides giving veiled threats (the Sealord threatening to send Faceless Men, Jaehaerys pointing out he has dragons). Invoked by Jaehaerys, as an aversion: bullying lords by threatening to set your dragons on them is just going to make them angry. Better to just have the dragons sitting around, without actually threatening anyone, and everybody's happy. Even after being taken captive, Alicent Hightower continues mouthing off about Rhaenyra's kids to her face, even when Rhaenyra tells Alicent the only reason she's still alive is because the former's father Viserys loved her. Aegon II imperiously demands the North and the Vale stand down and face punishment for supporting his half-sister's claim to the Iron Throne, despite the fact their armies vastly outnumber his and have barely been touched by the Dance of Dragons. Unsurprisingly, they tell him to get stuffed and march on King's Landing with the intention of deposing him.

After joining the Blacks, Hugh the Hammer and Ulf the Sot's first recorded deed is drunkenly celebrating a massive battle, one where Prince Jacaerys died and Prince Viserys went missing, generally considered afterward to be one of the bloodiest naval battles in Westeros history, crowing about their new status and immediately wanting more.

Stark's first move is to round up the very men who'd just handed him the capitol, and have them tried for treason and regicide. Aegon II may have been his enemy, but Stark took a dim view of betrayal. When Jaehaerys rose up against Maegor, two of Maegor's Kingsguard ditched him with the hope that they would live longer serving Jaehaerys. He sent them to the Wall instead for abandoning the king they swore to serve. Even then, they didn't learn their lessonâ€”only two years later, both of the former Sworn Swords staged an ill-fated rebellion in the Night's Watch. One was beheaded as an oathbreaker, while the other fled north with his remaining forces to entreat the wildlings beyond the Wall. The wildlings ate them all instead.

Fire & Blood / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Elissa Farman flees Dragonstone with three dragon eggs, and takes them to Braavos, where she sells them. When Jaehaerys goes asking about them, everyone denies seeing any dragon eggs, and there's an uneasy truce with, effectively, Jaehaerys agreeing not to burn Braavos to the ground if the Sealord will not send Faceless Men after the Targaryens. After that the eggs go forgotten. Since three dragons running around Essos would've been pretty damn noticeable... the implication is the eggs will turn up eventually, since they might be Dany's. The runaway Princess Saera is mentioned as having had some bastards during her stay in Lys, who try making a claim to the Iron Throne during the Great Council of 101 AC. They're rejected, and no more mention is made of them. But funnily enough, Gaemon Palehair, a young boy during the Dance of the Dragons, is noted to have been fathered by a white-haired fellow from Lys... During the Dance of the Dragons, when King's Landing goes insane, a man called Wat the Tanner kills Bartimos Celtigar and hacks his nuts off, before taking them as a twisted "standard" before fleeing out of the city in no particular direction, never to be seen or heard from again. When last seen, Alys Rivers is most definitely in charge of Harrenhal, and able to kill anyone who dares try and go in. She also has a son, who she claims is the trueborn child of Prince Aemond and rightful heir to the Iron Throne. After that, she and her son just sort of vanish.

Fire & Blood / int_96a33f11	comment	Riddle for the Ages: There are countless mysteries throughout history whose answers have been lost to the ages. What was written in the letter Dorne sent Aegon I to cause him to accept their peace terms and why did he go to Dragonstone immediately after reading it? The only thing related to a hint is that Aegon I gripped onto the Iron Throne as he read it. How did the High Septon die on the night before Visenya and Maegor arrived in Oldtown? Did the Seven themselves do him in? Did he do the deed himself? And if some other man or woman was responsible, who did it? Why was Maegor unable to father a living child? Was he sterile because Visenya had used dark magic to conceive him, or was Ceryse Hightower the one with fertility problems in their marriage? Was Tyanna being truthful when she claimed to have poisoned her sister-queens when they were pregnant, resulting in deformed stillbirths, or was she lying to get her husband to kill her quickly rather than torturing her, and the babies' monstrous appearances were simply the end result of their being sired by Maegor? And if Tyanna was telling the truth about the poisonings, did she act simply to prevent the other women from replacing her in their husband's regard, or did she have another purpose in denying Maegor an heir? Was Maegor's death suicide or murder? And if it was murder, then who was the culprit? Who ordered the half-assed assassination of Septon Moon? What became of Elissa Farman and her ship? Did she indeed find any new continent to the west? Corlys Valeryon would swear blind he saw a battered but intact Sun Chaser docked at Asshai many years later. Where did Androw Farman get the Tears of Lys he used to carry out his mass murder? Why did Qarl Correy murder Laenor Velaryon, and just what (or possibly who) happened to him after he fled King's Landing? Was it a lover's spat, or did someone put him up to it? Did Daemon and Nettles have a romantic relationship, or was it simply a close friendship? Or were they actually father and daughter? Why did Hugh and Ulf betray the Blacks and defect to the Greens? It was likely because they thought they could get better rewards with the Greens but their exact reasoning is lost to history. Where did Aerea take Balerion, or rather where did Balerion take Aerea, for the year they disappeared? Septon Barth deduces that Valyria could be the only answer. Were Rhaenyra's first three sons actually the bastard sons of Harwin Strong, rather than Laenor Velaryon? Strong was rumored to be Rhaenyra's lover, Laenor was almost certainly gay, and all three boys had dark brown hair and brown eyes as opposed to Rhaenyra and Laenor's Valyrian coloring — but their maternal grandmother was an Arryn meaning they could have inherited the brown from further up the family tree. (Though them being bastards is most likely, given the children of Rhaenyra and Daemon all have the Targaryen colouring). What drove Queen Helaena to kill herself? Was it even actually suicide, or did someone murder her? The same can also be asked of what happened to her daughter Jaehaera a few years later.

Fire & Blood / int_98d3f973	comment	Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: During the Great Council to decide the succession of Jaehaerys I, a man claimed that Maegor the Cruel was his father and brought his elderly mother to attest that she had been raped and impregnated by Maegor before he died. The Great Council acknowledged that his mother likely was raped by Maegor but, considering his history of failing to sire heirs, they refused to believe that she could have been impregnated by him. Rhaenyra, while married to a husband who shared her trademark silvery hair and purple eyes, managed to give birth to three sons in a row with brown hair and brown eyes. Given that her husband's preferences were well known, and that her personal bodyguard bore a striking resemblance to all three boys, a lot of people drew the obvious conclusion. The mother of the Velaryon dragonseeds claimed that they were conceived through a affair she had with Laenor Velaryon, but most believe that it was Laenor's father Corlys who fathered them. This is because Laenor's homosexuality was well known and Corlys often visited the shipyards where the boys' mother lived. During the anarchic period in the Dance of Dragons known as the "Moon of the Three Kings" where various armed gangs carved King's Landing into their spheres of influence, a prostitute called Essie claims that her son Gaemon is a bastard son of the disappeared King Aegon II and thus the rightful king. After Aegon II returns with an army to restore order and imprisons the various dissidents, Essie recants her claims about Gaemon's paternity just before her execution, admitting he was fathered by a Lyseni sailor. Though most historians in-universe consider the matter closed, there is reasonable doubt that she was telling the truth, given Aegon II was notorious for sleeping around and already had several bastard children in King's Landing, and Essie only recanted after a lengthy period in the Red Keep's torture chamber, making it entirely possible she was tortured into a false confession.note And then there's the matter of Princess Saera Targaryen taking ship for Lys a generation ago, and setting herself up as a highly sought-after prostitute with bastards of her own â€¦

It doesn't. The Black forces take some of the corpses from the Fishfeed, and leave them out in dioramas in Criston Cole's path. After a few miles of that, he ignores them, at which point the one he's passing turns out to be more lively than he expected. Lysario Rogare's corpse is left out to rot after he dies, and remains that way for a good three years before his brother finally recovers the remains and inters them.

The Cannibal is not gold, but Sunfyre, who has been missing for a while, is. Sure enough, it turns out to be Sunfyre making his way to Dragonstone.

Franklyn managed to prove he was still this years later when Rhaena returned to Fair Isle looking for her missing daughter Aerea, stating that if the girl showed up, he'd run her off too. Given Aerea was in possession of Balerion the Black Dread, Rhaena derisively told him all he'd achieve trying to get rid of her daughter would be to give the dragon an easy meal.

Generations prior, during the wedding feast of King Aenys' newly-wedded son Prince Aegon, His Grace named him Prince of Dragonstoneâ€”a sure sign that Aegon was the heir to the Iron Throne. There was just one problem: at the time, this title had been of the king's exiled brother Maegor's own invention; by making it a formal title, Aenys was not only passing him over in the line of succession, but doing so in an insulting and deeply personal way. Amidst the hush that follows this proclamation, Maegor's mother, Queen Visenya, leaves the feast in such a towering temper that it's implied she cursed the moon to turn blood-red that night. Things only get worse from there. The reaction of Aegon III's regency council when, on the very morning he turns sixteen, he enters the throne room with four of his Kingsguard and Sandoq the Shadow. It's Aegon who breaks the silence by asking, very calmly, just how old he is.

Aemond's own faction, including his mother and grandfatherâ€”but, notably, not his brother the king, who threw a feast for his troubleâ€”were horrified by what Aemond had done and berated him for destroying any chance of a peaceful resolution to the Succession Crisis.

Fire & Blood / int_a5adbbe7	comment	Unreliable Expositor: Gyldayn derives his history of the Dance of the Dragons from three accounts: Septon Eustace, a septon who served Aegon II, Mushroom the Dwarf, the Red Keep's fool who attended Rhaenyra and Grand Maester Munkun, who wrote what many consider to be the most detailed and definitive account of the Dance. Septon Eustace favored Aegon II and tended to present whatever rumors he heard about the war as fact. Munkun's account borrows from the notes of his imprisoned predecessor, Grand Maester Orwyle, who chose to paint himself and his actions during the war as positively as possible.note Orwyle had taken the black to spare his life, but chickened out at the last possible moment and was beheaded as an oathbreakerâ€”though not before relating his "confessions" to Munkun. The least reliable is Mushroom's Testimony, in which he invents scandalous and sinister events and presents himself as the secret true leader of the Blacks during the war. However, Mushroom is also the least biased source (he made fun of both sides), and he did know a lot due to people thinking he was dimwitted and talking a lot in front of him.

There is a mountain of circumstantial evidence to indicate that he was responsible for the murder of Queen Jaehaera and the attempted coup against Hand of the King Thaddeus Rowan, yet in one case murder could not be proven and in the other none of the co-conspirators named him. In the later case, the involvement of his aunt Lady Clarice Osgrey was also widely suspected, but unproven. Unwin's fate is not mentioned after this.

Despite this, he becomes a prototype for Varys, becoming Master of Whisperers for Aegon II, then undermining Rhaenyra's control of King's Landing when she takes the city, and eventually engineering the end of the war by having Aegon assassinated. And when Cregan Stark is about to execute him for his crimes, his only response is to calmly ask that his foot be chopped off after his death so it wouldn't hinder him in the afterlife. Tyland Lannister is blinded, maimed and crippled by Rhaenyra's forces after they take King's Landing. Despite this, he's appointed Hand during the first years of Aegon III's regency and quickly manages to consolidate power until he's the de facto ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Despite everyone hating and distrusting him, he manages to stay in power until the Winter Fever comes, which kills him.

After Maegor mysteriously died and Jaehaerys was crowned, he ordered the remaining loyalist Kingsguard to choose between execution or the Wall, on grounds that they broke their oaths by not disobeying Maegor's orders (also for one of them failing to protect Queen Tyanna), even though they had also sworn to obey the King. Noting the contradiction in logic here, Ser Harrold Langward demanded a Trial by Combat instead, and died fighting the King's Champion.

Husbands of women raped by lords felt cuckolded and were known to abuse or abandon their wives because of it. When Queen Alysanne met a few women who suffered this fate, it convinced her to demand Jaehaerys outlaw the practice entirely. On Dragonstone, where the Targaryens are seen as akin to gods, first night was viewed as a blessing and any bastards born from the act were celebrated. After first night was outlawed, some of the less savory members of House Targaryen continued the practice with happily compliant smallfolk on Dragonstone.

The Free Cities don't fare much betterâ€”they turn against each other almost immediately thereafter, which keeps them out of the rest of the Dance of the Dragons. More broadly, the Dance itself was thisâ€”and to such an extent that it's not entirely clear who could be said to have won. Rhaenyra captures King's Landing, but her forces are so weakened that she can't even control the city, and is captured and executed. Aegon II sits the Iron Throne briefly, but forces loyal to Rhaenyra continue to fight, and he's ultimately killed. In the end, they just marry Rhaenyra's only living son to Aegon II's only living daughter, and the whole war kind of limps to a close, with the realm devastated, most of the dragons dead, and the Targaryens severely weakened.

Fire & Blood / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: With half the realm in open revolt against King Maegor, Lord Hayford advised Maegor to abdicate and take the black to save his life. Maegor beheaded him on the spot. Prince Morion Martell thought he could spend the better part of a year assembling a massive fleet from scratch by shipbuilding and hiring sellsails without the Iron Throne finding out. He paid for his folly with his life and that of every single man in his army. Lord Franklyn Farman decided the day he became Lord of Fair Isle to kick Princess Rhaena Targaryen off the island; according to a letter his Maester later sent the Citadel, Franklyn apparently never realized the only reason Rhaena didn't have her dragon burn his castle to the ground with him in it was because she was too gracious to stay where she wasn't wanted. Franklyn managed to prove he was still this years later when Rhaena returned to Fair Isle looking for her missing daughter Aerea, stating that if the girl showed up, he'd run her off too. Given Aerea was in possession of Balerion the Black Dread, Rhaena derisively told him all he'd achieve trying to get rid of her daughter would be to give the dragon an easy meal. Alicent Hightower trying to convince Rhaenyra, after the latter's army has taken King's Landing effortlessly, to call a Great Council to let the realm decide the succession. Unsurprisingly, Rhaenyra refuses and gives her stepmother a choice: yield or die. Alicent wisely surrenders the city to Rhaenyra. There's also the fact the city fell because the Greens didn't bother to consider the fact most of the gold cloaks were loyal to Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenyra's husband and their former commander, and would probably defect en masse if he personally led an attack on the capital. Amaury Peake of the Kingsguard wears an open-faced helmet while trying to arrest Prince Viserys's Lyseni wife. After killing the men he brought with him, her personal bodyguard Sandoq the Shadow buries an axe in Amaury's skull.

Fire & Blood / int_b5ab695c	comment	Fantasy Conflict Counterpart: Similar to how the War of the Five Kings drew upon the War of Roses, the Dance of Dragons resembles a period of English history called the "Anarchy". Like the Dance, it broke out when the previous king, Henry I, attempted to set up his daughter, Matilda as his heir, but was unable to get the full support of the nobility, leading to another male relative, Henry's nephew Stephen, seizing the throne. Also, like the Dance, it ended with the initial male claimant keeping the throne, but with the female claimant's son succeeding him.

Fire & Blood / int_b7042372	comment	Cycle of Revenge: Targs versus Dorne in a nutshell, starting with Aegon's Conquest. Aegon demands Dorne become one of his subject kingdoms, and refuses Dorne's offer of an equal partnership, so Meria Martell tells Rhaenys to piss off and not come back. Aegon and his family try taking Dorne by force, which results in lots of death and mutilation, but Dorne refuses to capitulate, with every man Aegon sends either getting killed or mutilated. This goes on until Meria dies and her kids take over, giving Aegon a letter which prompts him to agree to peace the very next day. But a lot of bad blood remains on both sides, occasionally flaring up over the next few generations. The Dance of Dragons was, in many respects, kicked off by this. After Aemond killed one of Rhaenyra's sons after he attempted an overture to Borros Baratheon, Daemon responded by having one of Aegon's own sons murdered in turn. This turned an otherwise straightforward dynastic dispute into a deeply personal and vicious feud between the two sides.

His maester decides to break his own vows in Mooton's stead, and warns Daemon.

According to Eustace, his response to this was a hopeful "will he?" ... and then Queen Alicent pipes in with the comment the boy probably isn't going to forgive the man who killed his mother right in front of him, and gives her own suggestion, that he start slicing bits off little Aegon as a warning to Rhaenyra's loyalists. Aegon decides this is a good idea, and at that point becomes utterly screwed. He's dead within a day. After the Dance, the hope of Westeros was that it was an unfortunate blip but with Aegon III's taking the crown they could all get back to business as usual. Sadly, things do not go back to the Viserysian glory days. After his second marriage, Aegon III's mood actually starts to improve somewhat. He starts showing an actual willingness to learn swordsmanship and an interest in running the kingdom. And then Unwin Peake had to ruin everything with his Not Now, Kiddo antics, and Aegon returns to form. During their desperate battle to try and get past Sandoq the Shadow, one of Amaury Peake's men manages to disarm Sandoq of his Valyrian steel sword, giving Peake an opening...and then Sandoq grabs the battle axe Prince Viserys left embedded in the drawbridge they're fighting on and buries it in Peake's skull.

When she hears Rhaenyra has given orders for all three of her sons to be killed on sight, a captive Alicent Hightower begs Rhaenyra to show mercy. Unfortunately, Alicent does herself no favours by calling Rhaneyra's sons bastards yet again when Rhaenyra points out two of her kids are dead thanks to Alicent's sons, and Rhaenyra responds by threatening to have Alicent's tongue cut out if she says such things in Rhaenyra's presence again. Lady Baela Targaryen beseeched Lord Cregan Stark to spare the lives of the men at arms who'd freed her from captivity during The Purge of Aegon II's court, even drawing a sword in their defence; amused by her boldness, Stark agreed to spare them. Baela and her sister Rhaena also went over Cregan's head to petition Aegon III directly to pardon their grandfather Corlys Velaryon, a key conspirator in the plot against Aegon II. Aemond Targaryen's mistress Alys Rivers stops him from murdering a squire who informs him that Rhaenyra's army has taken King's Landing, largely because Aemond stripped the city's defences to the bone for his failed attack on Harrenhal. Septon Bernard was only spared execution for his part in the conspiracy against the Lyseni members of Aegon III's court because the High Septon personally wrote to the young king, beseeching Aegon to show mercy on account of Bernard's faith.

Fire & Blood / int_e003c829	comment	History Repeats: Aegon I successfully conquered a foreign land using his three dragons while also using politics and diplomacy to keep his new kingdom from collapsing. George RR Martin himself remarked that if Daenerys could have read this book then her conquest of the Slaver Cities would have gone a lot smoother. Rogar Baratheon rises in revolt when Maegor the Cruel demands Rogar hand over his wards, Maegor's nephew and niece Jaehaerys and Alysanne, for execution, playing a pivotal role in Maegor's overthrow and being appointed Hand of the King to Jaehaerys's new government, much the same way Jon Arryn refused to give up Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark to Aerys II Targaryen and would be a principal figure in Robert's post-Rebellion regime. An overweight and relatively good-natured king (unless you mention the one thing that sets him off) in a time of relative peace, married to a woman from an ambitious family with designs of their own, who isn't actually very good at being a king, who winds up dying and kicking off a succession crisis that turns into a war across Westeros. Now, are we talking about Viserys I, or Robert Baratheon? Cregan Stark demanded that the Green loyalists all be punished and that Aegon II's murderers be put to death. His reasoning for doing so is that if the Blacks' enemies and traitors were left alone and unabated then they would eventually rise up against Aegon III. Centuries later, Robert Baratheon's decision to ignore Ned Stark's requests to punish House Lannister for betraying Aerys II, as well as pardon a large number of the Mad King's supporters, led to his death and Westeros being plunged into a massive civil war.

Their relationship goes completely down the drain after their eldest son Jaehaerys is horrifically murdered in front of Helaena, who had been forced to choose which of her sons would die (the assassins killed the son she didn't choose). They can't get divorced because it's extremely rare in Westeros, but Helaena stops sharing Aegon's bed and shuts herself in her room most days, while Aegon spends much of his time drinking and plotting revenge. When Aegon is bedridden with serious wounds for half a year, Helaena never once visits him. Helaena eventually kills herself, possibly because she found out her remaining son had also died.

The ambiguity lies in the fact that Gyldayn all but states that with the exception of her brother/husband Aegon the Uncrowned, all of her carnal relationships were with women. Before and after the marriage. But Gyldayn claims she loved Aegon, but loving someone is not the same as being sexually attracted to them. So she very well did love him and care for him without wanting to have sex with him but only out of duty. And she did intend to rule with him. But when it came to sex, it seems they had an open relationship: he was fond of other women, and so was she. Her next two marriages also proved her possible homosexuality. Her second husband was a forced marriage and then her third and final marriage was only so she could be closer to her new husband's sister. Although she was known to be "fond" of him as well, but that seems to be more in friendship. Likewise, many of the women Rhaena had affairs with, including Elissa Farman, would fall under this category too.

Fire & Blood / int_f8c8175a	comment	Malicious Slander: Before the Maiden's Day Ball where King Aegon III would choose his bride, Unwin Peake spread rumors about several of the candidates to lower their chances of being chosen, as part of his plot to make his daughter Myrielle queen. Whispers flew and rumors circulated about Ysabel Staunton's fondness for wine, Elinor Masseyâ€™s deflowering, Rosamund Darry having six nipples because her mother had lain with a dog, Cassandra Baratheon having pushed Jaehaera Targaryen to her death, Lyra Hayford smothering her infant brother, and the "three Jeynes" (Jeyne Smallwood, Jeyne Mooton, and Jeyne Merryweather) visiting the Street of Silk to have nightly encounters with female prostitutes.

Fire & Blood / int_fb3576b2	comment	The Dog Bites Back: Thanks to Harren the Black's management style, to say nothing of looting and pillaging the Riverlands to make his castle, when Aegon I shows up offering to get rid of him, most (if not all) the Riverland lords sign up for him. Androw Farman, husband to Rhaena Targaryen, spent most of his marriage being treated like trash by his wife and everyone else on Dragonstone. He eventually snaps and poisons dozens of people on Dragonstone before killing himself upon his crimes being discovered. The smallfolk of King's Landing, having become the Targaryen family's punching bag throughout the Dance, finally snap after the Helaena's suicide and stage a massive riot, culminating in the Storming of the Dragonpit and the overthrow of Rhaenyra.

Fire & Blood / int_fc39769d	comment	Gunboat Diplomacy: Unlike many of their relatives and descendants, Aegon I and Jaehaerys I knew that the best way to keep the proud lords of Westeros in line was treat them with dignity while also keeping dragons close by and letting the danger they represent speak for itself. Openly shaming the high lords and threatening to burn their halls and their families will only lead them to rebellion.

Fire & Blood / int_fccd06b6	type	Beware the Nice Ones
Fire & Blood / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Jaehaerys the Conciliator, as his title suggests, is generally very nice, genuinely caring, diplomatic and cautious, but he's also determined to prove he's not his father, and will go hard when pushed. We see the first sign of this after he marries Alysanne, where he has an armed stand-off with his mother and stepfather, and threatens to sew Septon Mattheus' mouth shut if he speaks one more word against the marriage. When Jaehaerys' Master of Coin, Rego Draz, was robbed and murdered in Flea Bottom, the king personally retrieved the body, and apparently looked so furious that he was the spitting image of Maegor. He threatened the slum's inhabitants until one of the murderers was named, and then had him tortured to find the rest. Once they were all rounded up, he had them disemboweled and left to die hanging from the castle walls. Viserys I was generally confrontation-averse, but he made it clear that if anyone called Rhaenyra's kids bastards in front of him, he'd rip their tongues out. When Rhaenyra's first husband died, several of House Velaryon went to him to complain about her actions... and mentioned it. Viserys promptly had their tongues ripped out.

Fire & Blood / int_fd497706	comment	After Prince Maelor Targaryen is accidentally killed at Bitterbridge and a vengeful Green army lays waste to the town, when her castle comes under siege, Lady Caswell appears above the gatehouse with a noose around her neck, pleads for the army's commanders to spare her children and then hangs herself. They grant her wish.

Fire & Blood / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Rogar Baratheon vastly exceeds his place as Hand of the King during Jaehaerys's regency, trying first to essentially make him a Puppet King and then replacing him with his niece (whom in turn would be another puppet) when he proves resistant to that, all because he believe Jaehaerys will be a weak king like his father and ruin the kingdom. Jaehaerys is rather understanding of all this, and after Rogar is removed from his position and the regency ends, forgives him fully for his actions. Several of the people involved in the conspiracy against Thaddeus Rowan did so because they genuinely believed that he had betrayed the kingdom to a conspiracy by the Lyseni to take control of the court.

Fire & Blood / int_fe64d5a1	type	Evil Is Petty
Fire & Blood / int_fe64d5a1	comment	Evil Is Petty: A few instances (though the evil is sort of up to your interpretation, but the pettiness isn't). Criston Cole horribly beats the rumored lover of Rhaenyra, Harwin "Breakbones" Strong and the rumored lover of her recent husband Laenor Velaryon, Joffrey Lonmouth in a melee when Cole becomes one of the Greens (after spurning or being spurned by Rhaenyra). Harwin is henceforth named "Brokenbones"and Lonmouth dies of his injuries after being comatose for days. Hugh Hammer, one of the dragonseeds who wanted to be the king, nails horseshoes to Ser Roger Corne's head because the knight insulted him by disrespecting Hugh's lowborn background as a blacksmith. One of the conspirators against Aegon III and Queen Daenaera is Lucinda Penrose, one of the queen's ladies in waiting. Her motive was because she was mutilated on her way to the ball where Aegon would have chosen his bride, almost certainly on Unwin Peake's orders, and she feels this is Daenaera's fault somehow. Thaddeus Rowan was made Unwin Peake's replacement as Hand, and by mysterious coincidence, is brutally tortured during the attempted coup against Aegon III.
