They go ahead and start having kids of their own, including Prince Aegon the Younger and Prince Viserys.Īaand there you have it! Bye.AnaAS Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. In secret, of course, so King Viserys can’t stop them. Laena and Laenor end up dying in the same year in the book, giving Daemon and Rhaenyra the opportunity to waste no time and get married themselves.
We watched all that happen in last week’s time-jump episode. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra marries Laena’s brother, Laenor Velaryon, and they have several kids. After Daemon’s first wife dies, he gets together with Laena Velaryon-who was initially suggested as a bride for King Viserys. But they have to go through a few relationships first before marrying each other.

The other, even more scandalous rumor? That Rhaenyra actually has a thing for Ser Criston Cole, so Daemon teaches her how to make him “see her as a woman.” Which involves “kissing lessons,” not to mention lessons in “pleasuring a man with her mouth.” This played out a little differently in the show, as you probably know already.Īnyway, point is: These two have history. Per Fire & Blood (which is basically a long fact-filled history of the Targaryens), there are two rumors surrounding their relationship: one that Daemon seduces Rhaenyra and “claims her maidenhood” but the king doesn’t let them marry because Daemon already has a wife. At this point, he starts spending “long hours” in Rhaenyra’s company. According to Fire & Blood (the source material for House of the Dragon), Daemon returns to court post-Crabfeeder drama and declares himself King of the Narrow Sea, which King Viserys is somehow fine with. The book makes the foundation of Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship seem even more scandalous, frankly. We’ve already seen him kill his first wife and marry someone else.

Sure, King Viserys was shocked at the idea-but only because of their age difference, not because they were related, which, uh, wow! Rhaenyra and Daemon’s Full Relationship Timelineĭaemon is obviously already married when House of the Dragon begins, but that doesn’t mean he’s faithful. In fact, the show makes that abundantly clear in episode 3 when Otto (the Hand of the King) suggests that Rhaenyra marry her half-brother Prince Aegon. In other words: In this world, incest is not “unusual” and apparently we’re all supposed to just…get on board.
And during the years House of the Dragon is set in? Targaryens were intermarrying each other like it was their job. Yeah, Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister’s relationship got a ton of side-eye on GoT, but Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen were straight-up nephew and aunt and no one seemed to bat an eye. Martin’s world is the fact that incest isn’t frowned upon.
And actually, on that note… A Brief History on Targaryen Incest :(Īmong the many things we’re asked to suspend our disbelief over in George R. Keep reading for a detailed breakdown of exactly what goes down between these, uh, lovebirds. Turns out, Rhaenyra and Daemon are endgame, meaning they have a sexually tense relationship, eventually hook up, and get married-which is pretty significant from a power play perspective considering (1) they both want the throne and (2) their Targaryen union is almost sure to guarantee that happens-even though Alicent Hightower’s children will inevitably stake their claim.
