ASOI&Data: Life Expectancies of Targaryen Monarchs, Sums Only.

The average, "natural" lifespan for a Targaryen monarch is 47 years.

The average life expectancy of a Targaryen monarch is 43.6 years or 43 years & ~7 months.

The average "reign" (years survived post-coronation) of a Targaryen monarch is 14.39 years or 14 years & ~3 months.

(This average is skewed by Jaehaerys I, who reigned for 55 years, and misrepresents how "consistent" Targaryen rule was: 4 of the 18 monarchs included reigned no longer than 2 years at most.)

The average age of a Targaryen monarch at their (first) wedding is 15.54 years or ~16 years old.

The average age a Targaryen monarch first became a parent is 19.61 years.

With Aegon the Conquering Outlier removed, the average becomes 18.5 years instead.

(this calculation does not account for any illegitimate children conceived prior or during marriage)

18 Monarchs were used for these calculations, Rhaenyra I & Aegon II both included and with Aerys II as the last recognised monarch of the dynasty.
