Targaryen Month: Week 1 [The Conquest] 

Like her siblings, Visenya possessed the classical Valyrian features: long, silver-gold hair, which she often braided or bound up in rings, and purple eyes. Hers was a harsher, more austere beauty than her sister, Rhaenys. A voluptuous, sensual, and passionate woman, Visenya was also stern, serious, and unforgiving. Some claimed that Visenya dabbled in dark sorceries and played with poisons. She was a dragonrider and a warrior, comfortable in both silk and in ringmail.

Targaryen Month || Week Three: Jaehaerys and Alysanne ↳ In her youth, Good Queen Alysanne had loved her subjects, lords and commons alike. She had loved her women’s courts, listening, learning, and doing what she could to make the realm a kinder place. She had seen more of the Seven Kingdoms than any queen before or since, slept in a hundred castles, charmed a hundred lords, made a hundred marriages. She had loved music, had loved to dance, had loved to read. And oh, how she had loved to fly. Silverwing had carried her to Oldtown, to the Wall, and to a thousand places in between, and Alysanne saw them all as few others ever would, looking down from above the clouds.

Targaryen Thursdays: The Conquest + six events from that time in history

Aegon Targaryen’s conquest of the Seven Kingdoms did not take place in a single day. More than two years passed between Aegon’s landing and his Oldtown coronation… And even then the Conquest remained incomplete, since Dorne remained unsubdued.

- Fire and Blood

↳ Fancasts: Charlie Hunnam as Aegon I Targaryen, Katheryn Winnick as Visenya Targaryen, Sophia Myles as Rhaenys Targaryen.

Targaryen Thursdays: Rhaenys Targaryen the Queen Who Never Was

Rhaenys had the black hair of her Baratheon mother and the pale violet eyes of her Targaryen father. She wed Corlys Velaryon in 90 AC and they had two children,  Laena and Laenor Velaryon. Rhaenys was the only child of the heir to the Iron Throne and at birth many hailed her as next in line for the throne after her father, including Queen Alysanne. Rhaenys was passed over in the succession when Jaehaerys named her uncle Baelon his heir after Prince Aemon's death, and was passed over again in the Great Council of 101 AC. 

Rhaenys fought for the Blacks in the Dance of the Dragons. She faced certain doom when drawn into a battle with both Aegon II and Aemond on their dragons but made no attempt to flee, instead urging Meleys at the foe and succeeding in grievously wounding Aegon iI and his dragon Sunfyre before she died.

Targaryen Thursdays week 4: Three hundred sets of eyes looked on as Prince Daemon Targaryen placed the Old King’s crown on the head of his wife, proclaiming her Rhaenyra of House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men. The prince claimed for himself the style Protector of the Realm, and Rhaenyra named her eldest son, Jacaerys, the Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.
