Maybe a controversial opinion but if I was a peasant in King's Landing I would have fucking loved the weird bare-footed Jesus guy who randomly gave me coin after years of the monarchy pretending I don't actually exist. I have never seen his sisters, idc. Did his cousin get captured in Dorne? Idc about that I never saw him either. He banished prostitutes and their children? Great, my husband can't give me syphilis now and I don't have to care about any bastards. All I know is that this man acknowledges my existence and just throws money at me that will feed my family for the next 20 years. Like, the Seven bless the King! This is the best fucking time of my life

A take on Rhaenyra's usurpation and the coming line of succession

I don't usually take sides. I do not. And I'm sorry for the long scroll you've got to do. But reading the succession line page of Fire and Blood kind of makes me very sad.

People can argue whatever they want but saying 'Aegon's ascent was disputed by his half-sister Rhaenyra' rather than 'Rhaenyra's ascent was disputed by her half-brother Aegon' is the worst thing that could happen to her.

Everyone can say whatever they want and I'll take your opinions in consideration, respecting it with grace, but Rhaenyra was the rightful heir till the end of Viserys I's reign. Whether it is the show or book, she remained being one. Despite Alicent doing it willingly or mistakenly, Rhaenyra does get usurped.

This sentence here makes it quite clear that Viserys didn't care about what the Lords of Westeros thought and to be honest, as a king he really does not need to. (And it really does not goes into the point of Maegor doing as he wanted) The king's is the final word when it comes to Monarchy. If Viserys says Rhaenyra is the heir, she is the heir. Jaehaeyrs, named Baelon his heir instead of Rhaenys, Aemon's daughter, because he wanted to, he brought the Council of 101 because he wanted to. Just as Viserys names his daughter his heir because he wanted to. For if he didn't, had Aemma not died, had he not married Alicent, Daemon would be his heir. But this was his first and foremost decision after losing his wife and child.

Many say that if Rhaenyra couldn't bear to do sacrifices then she should have given up her claim but there is one thing that we need to realise.

Rhaenyra was the first ever woman to officially named heir.

Surely, there have been many women who were names heir presumably before.

Aerea/Rhaella Targaryen was heir to both Maegor and Jaehaeyrs.

Rhaena, Aenys' daughter, could have been also considered his heir until Aegon the Uncrowned was born.

But Rhaenyra's accession as the heir is pointed out in book being lavish and how many lords did bend their knee to her. Rhaenyra's accession as the heir and future reigning Queen was a way to open a door, to pave a path for all the other woman born in House Targaryen to be able to get the heirship.

It is not a small thing. It is a duty that she has been given. A duty not just for herself but for all the girls, all the women who might have been born before their younger brothers and could be passed over by them just for the fact of them being woman.

I won't say she didn't make mistakes. She did. But even as a character we need to understand that we read about a human. She did what she had to, to salvage from whatever she was given.

She was given a shitty situation, to be honest. Married to a man who unofficially known to be gay, even the council knew of this when the matter of her marriage was called upon the discussion.

And to be honest, if I were in Rhaenyra's place, being given the ability to change the laws of succession, being able to prove that I could be better than what everyone thought if me, even I would give up my stubbornness and deal with hand that I'm dealt with.

Rhaenyra had more to lose than anyone in this situation. And she would not only bring herself down in this situation but also the other women who would come after her too.

And that's what exactly happened even after trying everything she could.

The line of succession page in the first two images is exactly what ends up happening because some people couldn't bare the thought of Rhaenyra, a woman, ascending the throne.

Because either willingly or mistakenly, Alicent Hightower wanted her blood on the throne as Viserys himself says this in the book.

When we read this highlighted line, we must understand this that Alicent either had talked to Viserys about it or showed it from her actions. And this is being talked pointedly about the book. Not the show. The book.

Rhaenyra's refusal to accept Aegon's accession is no way wrong. She is the rightful heir. It is her right. Something she is given by her father. Something her father didn't want another person, much less his own sons, to have.

And this is usurpation.

This usurpation, The Dance Of The Dragons, it leads to the future kings, Viserys II and his council to consider not putting Aegon III's daughter Daena at the throne after all her older brother were dead. He rather installs himself as the king and then his son, Aegon IV.

Of course, she and her sisters were kept away from the world, all the thanks to Baelor the idiot (I refuse to call him blessed), she could still have learned. She was loved by small folk. Some lords even supported her. But only because her grandmother had been usurped, only because men were too afraid of what would happen if she were to become a reigning queen, too plauged with past to even do the right thing, she too was passed over for her Uncle.

Well here ends my Ted talk.

And for my works and a very shameless self-promotion here's my masterlist

Lots of love 💕

reading “a knight of the seven kingdoms” for the first time in preparation for the upcoming show and everything was good til they removed baelor’s helmet… why did george kill him like that?

i’m so distraught what the actual fuck

if i had a penny for every time i fell in love with a gallant, hunky, hot prince who has martell blood in him and died tragically from a fatal head injury, i would have two pennies… it isn't a lot, but it's still crazy it happened twice

KING BAELOR TARGARYEN:The bards would argue, in time, that the vipers bowed their heads to baelor's step, but that is not the truth. Baelor received half a dozen bites as he crossed the cage, and while he opened it he nearly fell to the ground before the dragon knight could open the door and pull his cousin out of the pit. It is said that The wyls crossed their bets as prince aemon scrambled to climb out of the cage with baelor on his shoulders.

PRINCE BAELOR TARGARYEN:Baelor, of the house of targary in, prince of rocadragon, hand of the king, protector of the kingdom and heir to the iron throne of the seven kingdoms of the west had his pira funeral in the court of arms of vado ash castle, on the north bank of the river cockleswent. Unlike other large houses, some of which buried their dead or plunged them into the cold, green sea, the targaryen filled the dead with letters of fire, because they carried the blood of the dragon.

“Few could doubt that Baelor Breakspear would be a great king, for he was the heart of chivalry and the soul of wisdom, and came to serve his father most ably as Hand.”

Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen, modeled after Oscar Isaac 🤎 All depictions of Baelor are all green, brown, and purple in hue so I just followed the official one by Amok.

Who would have Daeron I Targaryen "the Young Dragon" married?

Credits to @wweskywalker

I think that regarding to who would have become Daeron I's queen is very interesting.

Obviously, many (including myself) ship Daeron I x Daena, but at this moment that the Dragons had died the matter for the Targaryens was to still be at the top and keep their power, in order to survive Daeron would have to wed someone outside of his immediate family to gain more allies and power for the future Targaryens he would potentially sire.

Daeron I wanted to prove himself by conquering and bringing Dorne into the fold of Westeros and being known as the First Official King of the Seven Kingdoms.

We know he was allied with the many lords, such as the Tyrells one of whom he made Governor of Dorne, but his greatest allies were the Velaryons as they helped him greatly with the Conquest. The influence of House Velaryon was so great that when Alyn and Elaena got involved years later it was seen as a love story rather than adultery (also because Aegon IV had bigger scandals.)

In the case Daeron had lived and wed one day, he had to marry an extremely powerful and advantageous match for the benefit of the Targaryen dynasty, specially in that moment since they had conquered Dorne.

Chances are there were possible choices in The Vale as they had one of the greatest armies of Westeros, it could have been a maiden from House Arryn, Royce, Hunter, Borrell, Shett, Upcliff, etc. They all were powerful houses on their own and Daeron needed all the support he could get if his reign was to be successful, also they could have been highly trained to be an ideal queen consort and per alliance.

Other choice was marrying a Velaryon cousin, like Laena (Baela's daughter) or a Velaryon lady from another branch, in a way of showing the realm their Valyrian Exceptionalism still proved the strength of the Targaryens.

Other choice is that Daeron could have looked for an alliance with the Triarchy in fixing their relationship and wedding a woman with Valyrian heritage from there or a daughter of the Sealord of Braavos with Valyrian blood, doing both, keeping his Valyrian blood pure and getting an alliance.

Now, had Daeron noticed that a marriage between Baelor and Daena was pointless, he would have needed to arrange for Baelor to be a Septon and wed Daena to another ally, whether from The Vale or a son of Baela and Alyn or a Crownlands lord.

If Rhaena was convinced she needed to gain more power for the Targaryens, she would have been a scholar and fund charities convincing the smallfolk the gods loved the Targaryens and been wed to the Sealord of Braavos as we are told from semi-canon.

And Elaena without having been locked in the Maidenvault she would not have fallen for Alyn's grooming.
