Marilda of Hull (The Mouse)

There was an offer to draw commoner women in the era of Dragon Dance, which left their mark on history! The first on this list is Marilda of Hull. She was not only the mother of Addam and Alin, but also the captain of her own ship, with the simple name "Mouse". This art is dedicated to her!!!

A troubled Marilda, barely even 18, holding young Addam and Alyn. She recently gave birth to her youngest. Little did she know that one of her sons will rule over Driftmark.

(Commissioned art. Thanks so much for trusting me! 🥰)

Velaryon Family Tree

Family Tree made up by me

I chose to re-make this work

...

Velaela Velaryon I the Bold had been a Seahorse Dreamer who had embarked in many adventures during her lifetime, in which she had found many riches and took them back home.

Velaela was said to have been a sorcerer and to also have spoken with the Merling King who according to tales communicated with Velaela through dreams.

Velaela the Bold taught all her children from her four marriages how to sail and the basics of many spells. From her is that the current line of the Velaryons descend.

Velaela the Bold's descendant: Velaela Velaryon II the Settler would honor her foremother's legacy by moving out of Valyria to other parts of the world, some of her siblings went to Valyrian colonies like Lys and Volantis whereas Velaela II sailed to Westeros.

In Westeros Velaela helped her kin settle in the island of Driftmark by negotiating with the smallfolk and it is said the Merling King gave her the Driftmark to protect and keep for her family.

Hundreds of years later her descendant Velaenys Velaryon would set sail to to visit her Velaryon relatives in Lys and Volantis and when she came back she brought many riches and proved she had inherited the magic gifts of her ancestor Velaela the Bold.

Velaenys would eventually become the ruling Lady of Driftmark, she wed twice and from her first marriage her daughter Velaenya was born and years later in her second marriage Velaenys had a boy named Aerion.

Velaenys declared Velaenya as her heir and trained her in the arts of sorcery and bards still sing about how Velaenya's wit and beauty made her even richer than her mother.

Velaenya was the mother of Khaella Velaryon who in turn was the mother of Vaellon Velaryon; Vaellon wed the oldest daughter of Maegon Targaryen -who had abdicated his inheritance of Dragonstone to live in tranquility to his brother Aerys- Aemollie Targaryen and they had Daemon Velaryon.

Aerion sired Rhaenor Velaryon who in turn wed Aellodie Velaryon, the youngest daughter of Maegon Targaryen who had had her in his old days. Rhaenor and Aellodie's daughter Valaena wed the heir to Dragonstone lord Aerion Targaryen becoming the parents of the Conquerors.

Daemon had had children with another woman before his marriage to Aemelle - daughter of the Targaryen explorer lady Aemyn with the lord Saeron Targaryen, cousins of Lord Aerion Targaryen - and together they had three sons: Aethan, Aellar and Corlys.

Daemon and Aemelle would later have four sets of twins in their old days; two of them went to live in Lys and Volantis, and the other two in Isle of Tarth and Estermont, all of them wedding Velaryons of old with whom they exerted power.

Aethan Velaryon, the eldest son of Daemon Velaryon, wed lady Alarra Massey the daughter of Lord Massey and Lady Anya Targaryen, who was the daughter of Lord Baelon Targaryen -after his brother Aelyx died without trueborn heirs- who did not have trueborn sons and therefore Dragonstone went to his brother Daemion, Aerion Targaryen's father.

Aethan and Alarra Massey had seven children; four boys and three girls which included Lady Alyssa Velaryon who would eventually become queen of the Seven Kingdoms and Daemon Velaryon the Lord Admiral of both Maegor the Cruel and Jaehaerys Targaryen.

Aellar's granddaughter Larissa Velaryon was a lady in waiting to her second cousin Princess Rhaena and her daughter Valeria Velaryon made an edict in which she decreed she would pass her last name to her future descendants.

And Corlys became one of the first members of the Kingsguard of King Aegon I Targaryen.

After Alyssa Velaryon was able to make her son Jaehaerys king after the war against Maegor Targaryen and avenge the deaths of her first two sons Aegon and Viserys and the hostage taking of her daughter Rhaena Targaryen and granddaughters Aerea and Rhaella, Alyssa wed Rogar Baratheon with whom she had Boremund and Jocelyn Baratheon.

Another brother of Alyssa wed a lady of House Wylde for the sake of alliances and their daughter Lucilla wed Lord Boremund Baratheon. Boremund's uncle Ronnal wed lady Aenna Velaryon one of the grandchildren of the deceased Lord Daemon Velaryon through one of his sets of twins.

Daemon, the son of Aethan and Alarra, wed his cousin Lady Viserra Velaryon and together they had Corwyn, Jorgen, Victor and four daughters.

Corwyn and his wife Coraella Velaryon had Vaellor, Corlys, Anyssa, Ellenia and Aeijion Velaryon.

Ellenia married Louis Velaryon, a Velaryon located in a fortress of Volantis, (it was rumored she slept with his sister Willow too) and had two daughters and three sons by him.

Anyssa married a Velaryon trader called Sung-Moo Jeon whose parents lived in Storm's End, she got to travel the world alongside Sung-Moo and they had two daughters and five sons and after his death due to a fever she wore black symbolizing her grief which she endured until her death.

After five years of being a widow she married her cousin Aemion and they had two sons.

Aeijion had a tranquil life with his wife Vaenice Velaryon and they had five sons.

Even though Vaellor had been born before Corlys he had died and his oldest son with his wife Kean Velaryon, Vaemond, had shown an ambition greater than his common sense and wit, after a council in which they deemed Corlys better suited for the Driftwood throne Corlys Velaryon son of Corwyn Velaryon was made Lord of Driftmark.

Vaemond -who had wed a Velaryon cousin- and his oldest son Daemion Velaryon always tried to get Driftmark but Vaemond had been executed after declaring the three sons Rhaenyra Targaryen had birthed during her marriage to Lord Laenor who all had chestnut brown hair and light brown eyes (and many whispered had been fathered by Ser Harwin Strong) were bastards.

After the Red Spring, in which Lord Corlys' children with his wife The Princess Rhaenys The Queen Who Never Was, Laena and Laenor Velaryon died, and Laenor's supposed sons Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey Velaryon died in the Dance of the Dragons, Driftmark went to Laenor's bastard son Addam Waters (though many think his brother Alyn and him were actually Corlys' bastard sons with Marilda of Hull) who had been legitimized by Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, and after his death his brother Alyn became the heir to Driftmark and ruled it after Lord Corlys died.

After an attack of the Silent Five a group formed of the deceased Vaemond Velaryon's cousins, the sons of Lord Aeijion Velaryon, Alyn wed Princess Baela Targaryen, one of the twin daughters of Lady Laena Velaryon and Prince Daemon Targaryen.

Alyn and Baela's ward and cousin Daenaera Velaryon was the granddaughter of Vaemond Velaryon through his second and youngest son Lord Daeron Velaryon with Lady Hazel Harte.

After being presented in the Maiden Ball Daenaera wed King Aegon III Targaryen who was the paternal half-brother of Princess Baela.

Baela and Alyn had two trueborn children: Laena, and Corlys who was the youngest of their children together, both their children had a legacy of greatness.

*Alyn also had an affair with Princess Elaena the daughter of Aegon III and Daenaera during the last days of life of Princess Baela Targaryen when she was sick and continued it after her death, however Alyn got lost in the sea during the second half of the year 172 AC and Princess Elaena who had borne him bastard twins in 173 AC had to accept in 175 AC that Alyn would not come back.

Alyn's bastards with Princess Elaena, Jon and Jeyne had been taken care of by their second cousin Prince Daeron and Princess Myriah Martell and both Jon and Jeyne wed into House Waxley and House Borrell from the Vale, Jon's trueborn son in the end gave a new last name to himself, his children and future descendants: Longwaters.

Elaena's sister Princess Rhaena who had become a septa took it upon herself between 173-174 AC to regain the trust of House Velaryon by being by their side building fortresses and buildings and paying them the weight of her bastard nephew and niece in gold and Princess Elaena later sent her son Viserys Plumm to be a squire for the Velaryons during some years before leaving to squire for House Serrett.*

Baela and Alyn's first son Corlys Velaryon wed Velaela Velaryon who was a descendant of Ellenia Velaryon. The current rulers of Driftmark descend from Corlys Velaryon, the son of Baela Targaryen and Alyn Velaryon.

Viseron, Corlys' son had married Haellia Velaryon who was a descendant of Valeria Velaryon and exerted a great influence in the Stormlands, they made peace with all the other branches of House Velaryon.

Baela and Alyn's firstborn child and firstborn daughter as well was Laena who had learnt how to glide through the air alongside her mother, and she helped many children in the whole realm, as well as fund the education of many with her cousin Rhaena the Septa. Laena had wed a Velaryon lord son who was the son of Daemion Velaryon.

Corlys' sons and Laena's sons were wed to distant Velaryon cousins and to Princess Rhaena's grandchildren.

Corlys' granddaughter Viseriya had been wed to Lord Caron as an arrangement made by Daeron II when Dorne joined the Seven Kingdoms.

A Velaryon lord had also been considered as a betrothed for Princess Aelora Targaryen before she died.

When the Prince Duncan Targaryen spurned his Baratheon bride the lady Elenei Baratheon, King Aegon V wed the lady to the young Lord Alexar Velaryon, and when Prince Jaehaerys did the same with lady Celia Tully, King Aegon V wed her to the lord Aexor Velaryon who had made a fortune for himself and his branch of the Velaryons family and in the end they were able to enrich themselves.

Many generations have passed and today House Velaryon still have the position of Lord of the Tides and their dominion of Driftmark and High Tide, being a proud and resilient House.

I'm a not math nerd but I'm a history nerd lol

What percentage did you use with the Velaryons? Because Corlys has enough Targaryen blood for a bastard son of his to get a dragon.

And you're telling me that Jocelyn Baratheon (Rhaenys' mother) is half Velaryon?

(Aemon Targaryen set the precedent for Rhaenyra when he fucked her aunt lol)

Hehe all nerds are welcome! This ask is in reference to this post here

I'll answer your question about Aemon and Jocelyn first: You're totally right! Aemon's parents, Jaehaerys I and Alysanne, are half-siblings of Jocelyn. They have different fathers, but the same mother, Alyssa Velaryon. This also means that Corlys and Rhaenys are related: They share a great-grandfather, Aethan Velaryon!

As for the Velaryons having Targaryen blood: I actually don't believe that Corlys has any Targaryen blood, and I treated the Velaryons as having no Targaryen blood unless explicitly specified (such as Valaena, Laena, and Laenor). There are a few reasons for this, one being that since we know none of the main branch Targaryens for the past many generations married into the Velaryons. Trust me, I checked all of them lol. The most recent source of Targaryen blood Corlys could have possibly had would be if his great-grandfather Daemon Velaryon's unnamed father married a Targaryen women. Even if this was the case, and even if this woman was 100% Targaryen, it would mean Corlys had at most 6.25% Targaryen blood, and his sons at most 3.125%. That's no more than Borros Baratheon, and we didn't see him claiming any dragons.

But namely it's because you know if Corlys had even 0.000001% Targaryen blood this man would have been first in line to claim a dragon when everyone else was trying to. If he was Addam and Alyn's source of Targaryen blood, he had the better chance of claiming a dragon. And he's so obsessed with prestige, legacy, power, and Valyria that there's no way he would have willingly passed up on the chance to claim one. If he had any Targaryen blood, he would have tried to claim Seasmoke at some point after Laenor's death. Or, at a minimum, he would have tried to claim one of the remaining dragons after Addam was successful. But he never did, because he knew he wasn't the source of his sons' Targaryen blood.

So where did Addam and Alyn get their Targaryen heritage? It couldn't have been Corlys, so it must have been their mother, Marilda! We don't get any description of her physical appearance, nor of her parentage, but we know that she was a bastard, and that's important. I do have a theory for her parent, though there are obviously a few candidates of child-bearing age at that time: Saera Targaryen.

Why Saera? Marilda's father is said to be a shipwright, so it makes a little more sense that her Targaryen blood would come from her mother, not her father. There aren't too many Targaryen women who'd be fine with a child out of wedlock, but Saera absolutely would, she's not all gung ho for the patriarchy the way everyone else at the time is. And the timelines add up really well: Saera was noted to have left her home in Lys about a year before Marilda was born, and traveled a while before ending up in Volantis. It's not unthinkable that in her travels she came across a shipwright she took a fancy to. Saera isn't on my original chart, but she's the daughter of Jaehaerys I and Alysanne Targaryen, making her 37.5% Targaryen. By this logic, Marilda would be 18.75% Targaryen, and Addam and Alyn would be 9.375% Targaryen. Compare this to if Corlys was their source of Targaryen blood, where they would be 3.125% Targaryen, a whole three times weaker.

This actually tracks which how the two boys engage with dragons. Only one of the two brothers is actually successful in claiming a dragon. This shows that maybe at this point the ability to claim dragons has begun to slip, which also tracks with how the HotD series has shown that people like Aemond (~19%) and Lucerys (~14%) were able to claim dragons, but struggled to command them fully.

If you take Marilda as a dragonseed, her decision to send Addam and Alyn to claim dragons makes so much more sense. Why would she risk their lives to have them claim a dragon if their own father, with blood twice as strong and such a thirst for legacy, never risked it? It makes much more sense that she knew they had a strong Targaryen claim through herself. She merely took advantage of their Targaryen blood in order to force their deadbeat dad to acknowledge them as his heirs. He didn't care about them being half Velaryon, but he would care about them if they were dragonriding Targaryens.

When Addam was ten and Alyn nine, their mother inherited the yards upon her own father’s death, sold them, and used the coin to take to the sea herself as the mistress of a trading cog she named Mouse. A canny trader and daring captain, by 130 AC Marilda of Hull owned seven ships, and her bastard sons were always serving on one or the other.

Addam Velaryon's Tomb artwork by Francesca Baerald for The Rise of the Dragon

At moonrise the riverlords abandoned the field [of Tumbleton] to the carrion crows, fading back into the hills. One of them, the boy Ben Blackwood, carried with him the broken body of Ser Addam Velaryon, found dead beside his dragon. His bones would rest at Raventree Hall for eight years, but in 138 AC his brother, Alyn, would have them returned to Driftmark and entombed in Hull, the town of his birth. On his tomb is engraved a single word: LOYAL. Its ornate letters are supported by carvings of a seahorse and a mouse. —Fire & Blood

Since we don’t really know what happened to Nettles' mother(I can’t picture her just abandoning her so she’s passed on in my mind), I need Marilda of Hull to take Nettles under her arms and embrace her like the daughter she’s never had.

#nettles #netty #nettles asoiaf #I want her and baela to become close to #especially after rhaenys 😭#marilda of hull #she’s mother now #nettles f&b #hotd spoilers
