For those who did marry in the family, it often meant wedding brother to sister, but occasionally involved relations like nephews, nieces, or cousins. This is particularly true of those Targaryens that aren’t likely to be heirs to the Iron Throne. But while this is a longstanding Valyrian tradition, it isn’t necessarily a must for Targaryens in Westeros, and the royals have often married outside of their family. Targaryens, much like royal families in our own past, often married family members with the goal of keeping the strength of their bloodline pure. Do the Targaryens always marry family members? Ultimately, Aegon’s assumption proved correct and he was able to unite all of Westeros (except Dorne). After all, he and his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya had dragons and no one else in Westeros did. While his reasons are often debated, it is certain that at least one of them was because he thought it would be fairly easy. Nearly 100 years after the Targaryens moved to Dragonstone, Aegon I Targaryen set his sights on Westeros with a goal to conquer the continent and unite its various warring kingdoms and factions. From then on she was known as Daenys the Dreamer. Twelve years after the family moved, she was proven right as the Doom of Valyria began. Aenar’s decision was based on a vision his daughter Daenys had, which foretold a great catastrophe that would collapse the region and destroy Valyria forever. Despite the area’s great wealth and status, the Targaryens left the city unexpectedly when Aenar Targaryen moved his family out of Valyria to Dragonstone, a small island at the mouth of Westeros’ Blackwater Bay. The Targaryens are originally from the Valyrian Freehold, a region of Essos on the Valyrian Peninsula. Though they have both been dead for many years by the time House of the Dragon begins, you can think of these two as the ones that kicked off the story of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros, which is why they’re still relevant to this story. Who are Aegon the Conqueror and Daenys the Dreamer? While most of this story happens well after Jaehaerys’ death, it also unfolds in his shadow. He was much loved by all, but left his son Viserys with a large legacy to live up to. Jaehaerys enjoyed one of the longest and most prosperous rules in Westeros’ history. Who is King Jaehaerys?

#BEACH OOPS SERIES#
The new Game of Thrones prequel series is set nearly 200 years before the events of the original series, and that means a totally different set of characters and events to learn about. HBO’s House of the Dragon is bringing us back to Westeros, but not to the Westeros most people are familiar with, at least on screen.
