Lady Dyanna Dayne was noblewoman of House Dayne of Starfall. She became the wife of Maekar I Targaryen, and was Princess of Summerhall through marriage to Maekar. She is the mother of Daeron, Aerion, Aemon, Aegon, Daella, and Rhae Targaryen. Unfortunately Dyanna died well before 209 AC, before Maekar’s accession to the throne. Thus, she was never able to be Queen Consort. She was Maekar I Targaryen’s only wife.

And they told how afterward Ned had carried Ser Arthur's sword back to the beautiful young sister who awaited him in a castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea. The Lady Ashara Dayne, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes. It had taken her a fortnight to marshal her courage, but finally, in bed one night, Catelyn had asked her husband the truth of it, asked him to his face.

That was the only time in all their years that Ned had ever frightened her. "Never ask me about Jon," he said, cold as ice. "He is my blood, and that is all you need to know. And now I will learn where you heard that name, my lady." She had pledged to obey; she told him; and from that day on, the whispering had stopped, and Ashara Dayne's name was never heard in Winterfell again.  (A Game of Thrones - Catelyn II)

It’s also speculated at one point he was one of Princess Arianne Martell’s. Though of his beauty and looks, he is actually angry and very cruel. He is also extremely jealous of his late cousin, Ser Arthur Dayne who was the Sword of the Morning. Gerold allies himself with Princess Arianne Martell during the attempt of the Princess crowning Myrcella Baratheon. He was only included due to him reigning High Hermitage and his fighting abilities. When surprised at Arianne’s party by Areo Hath, Gerold attempts to kill Myrcella during the fighting but he only scars her face and cuts off her ear.
