The Dornish Prince Who United The Seven Kingdoms

aka my “who the hell was Myriah and Maron’s father” meta

Like many of the ruling princes and princesses of Dorne, we have very little information to go on when trying to piece together this Unnamed Prince of Dorne. It’s equal parts odd and frustrating, because this Unnamed Prince was one of the most important figures in Westerosi history and yet we don’t have a birth date, ascension date, marriage information, birth dates for his children, a death date, or even a name.

And yet this is the man who stopped Daeron the Young Dragon’s conquest of Dorne only to successfully negotiate a cease fire between Dorne and the Six Kingdoms as well as a marriage contract for his heir and daughter Myriah with Baelor the Blessed. His influence lives on in his son, Maron, who furthered his father’s peace negotiations by meeting with Daeron II and agreeing to enter the Seven Kingdoms at last - but with a Targaryen bride and more than a few concessions. Daeron’s shortsightedness in dealing with Dorne leads directly to the Blackfyre Rebellions but you can’t deny that Maron at least was a shrewd negotiator because he and his people came out of this negotiation having given up very little. Myriah, for her part, is a well loved Queen despite racism in Westeros against the Dornish, and goes on to have several children with Daeron, who she seemed to love.

So…who the hell was Maron and Myriah’s father? Well, looking at the series proper, the world of ice and fire, and fire & blood, I’ve come up with two theories on him.

Theory One: The Marence Martell Theory

Marence is the son of Aliandra and Drazenko (or possibly, he’s the son of a second husband).

Theory Two: The Qyle Martell Theory

Qyle, the younger brother of Aliandra and only son of Qoren Martell, takes the principality when Aliandra dies childless.

Let’s delve in…

The Facts

Aliandra Nymeros Martell is born in 115 AC so any siblings must be born after this date.

Aliandra's younger brother brother Qyle (and their younger sister Coryanne) is old enough to disapprove of Aliandra's flirtation with Alyn Velaryon in 133 AC.

Aliandra and Drazenko Rogare married during the Lysene Spring 134.

Drazenko died in 135 under suspicious circumstances (it's because his family was acting up see: The Fall of the House of Rogare)

Now a little bit of speculation here...

The Small Council is desperate to marry off Baela in 132 AC (when Aliandra is 17) bc she’s unruly and mean and does hot girl shit, so they’re not gonna betroth her to someone much younger than her, because they need this girl to get laid and calm down.

Qyle is brought up as a potential match. If Aliandra is 17, he could very well be 16, or near enough, and an option for her to marry. This would make his birth year 116 and make him 42 at the Submission of Sunspear.

If Marence is Aliandra's only child by Drazenko, born in 135 AC, it would make him 23 during the Submission of Sunspear.

If The Unnamed Prince of Dorne Is Marence Nymeros Martell

This is interesting for a few reasons. For one thing, it puts Marence of an age with Aegon IV, who was also born in 135 AC during the Lysene Spring as well. It makes sense that Baelor, with his cousin Aemon already on his mind due to his captivity, would see a man roughly the same age as one of his male cousins, and think of Aegon's recently born son, Daeron II, as the key to smoothing things over.

Baelor eschews marriage, not just with his sisters, but in general, and while we don’t have his POV to see what he was thinking about an heir (if he was even thinking of it), given the precedent of uncles and younger brothers usurping female Targaryens, and Baelor’s own *waves at the Maidenvault* nonsense about women, it seems likely Baelor viewed his uncle as his heir and not Daena the Defiant, and thus betrothing the first born son of Viserys’ first born son to Myriah, Marence’s first born daughter, ties everything together neatly.

For Marence’s part, this plan is incredibly risky. Daeron and Myriah are around 7 and a lot can change in the ten years it will take for Myriah to reach the age of majority. Maron could die, and there’s no guarantee Marence can have another child before he himself dies. Myriah could die and throw the whole plan into question. Marence’s people did just torture the everloving hell out of Aemon (and while the Wyl's are a bit notorious for being super violent towards invading forces, we have no idea whether Marence encouraged that the way Aliandra and Deria do, or if he discouraged it the way Nymor does), and Viserys might not be too fond of the plan. But this is Aliandra’s son. This is the son of a goddamn Rogare. High risk plans with little hope of succeeding are their lifeblood and it's clearly a chance that may be worth taking if he wants to finally calm down the warring.

And being Aliandra's son, it's even possible she told him stories about her relationship with Alyn (hopefully not the sexy ones but who knows). Perhaps he's thinking that this might work out, if Baelor can come here and forgive him after they tortured Aemon and killed The Young Dragon, if his mother could find something worth respecting in Alyn. It's a young man's dream for a better, less violent future for his people and for his young children.

If Marence is the Prince, it also means he dies pretty young. Maron is ruling Prince by 174 AC, so even if we push the death date to have happened the very first month of 174 AC, it means Marence is just 39 years old when he passes. He lives long enough to send his daughter to an unknown fate in a still hostile kingdom, to see Baelor die, Viserys II die, and Aegon the Unworthy take the throne and make overtures at continued war while Mariah is essentially a hostage in King's Landing, and now, with only his young son Maron to protect her and to protect Dorne. A wild, risky life with a sad, early death; just like his mother Aliandra.

If The Unnamed Prince of Dorne Is Qyle Nymeros Martell

Firstly, if it's Qyle, I can 100% see why he kills Daeron I and tortures Aemon; we already know he dislikes the other kingdoms of Westeros and after spending years being forced to make nice because of Aliandra, who dies childless and passes the principality to him, an older, hardened Qyle may decide there is no point in trying to make peace with these people. He takes a page out of his ancestor Meria's book and decides to fight dirty and to the last man. Why on Earth would he trust them, why on Earth would he confine himself to the rules of their game? Even without dragons, these people insist on destroying his home so he will fight them until his last breath.

And then this deeply pious seventeen year old (the same age as Aliandra when the principality passed to her!) shows up barefoot with all the hostages who are mostly unharmed and asks to make peace. And now Qyle is approaching middle age (being like 44 at this point), looking at this very odd mirror to his deceased older sister, who is asking him to put aside all anger. There's no charming flirtation or coy words like what Alyn offered Aliandra nor is there the threat of violence and subjugation like what Daeron offered just a few years before. It's a risk yes, but when faced with this bloody-footed seventeen year old and the release of the hostages, it might seem like a risk that's worth taking.

And again, if we push his death date to the first month of 174 AC, it means Qyle is 58 years old. Hardly old by our years, but it's more than several other notable rulers get in ASOIAF. Old enough to have seen relations with the Iron Throne go up and down and when he dies, the future is uncertain yes, but he's spent his life trying to make things better in the only ways he knows how.

SO THAT'S THE UNNAMED PRINCE OF DORNE.

I think both scenarios are interesting and they both seem likely! I hope one day we know a little bit more about this elusive character, as well as about Myriah and Maron - did Myriah resent the marriage her father arranged for her? Did she resent having to give up her claim to the principality or did she see this as a chance to gain further power? Clearly, Maron believed in continued peace making through marriage because he agreed to marry Daenerys as an adult; how close was he to his father then? Was he devastated by his father's death? Did he love Myriah and write to her the way Oberyn and Doran loved Elia? If he is Qyle, and older when he has children, does this impact how he sees them? And if he's Marence instead, and had children young-ish, does that impact their relationship? How does he even die???

Much to think about and I hope we get concrete answers one day!

Princess Daenerys was born in 172 AC to Queen Naerys and King Aegon IV and was the younger sister of King Daeron II Targaryen. Prince Maron Nymeros Martell was the ruling Prince of Dorne and younger brother of Myriah Martell, the wife of Daeron II.

The wedding between Daenerys and Maron was held in King's Landing in 187 AC and formally made Dorne part of the Seven Kingdoms. After the ceremony, Maron kneeled before the Iron Throne and togehter, Maron and Daeron II went to pay their respects to the statue of the late King Baelor the Blessed at the Great Sept, who had once brokered the peace between the Iron Throne and Dorne via the marriage of Daeron II and Myriah. To celebrate the wedding, a tourney was held in the capital. Daenerys and Maron had multiple children and the eldest child, a son, presumably succeeded Maron as ruling Prince of Dorne.

In Dorne, Maron built his bride the Water Gardens three leagues to the west of Sunspear. It was a place of beauty made of colored marble with pools and trees to free her from the heat and dust of Sunspear. Their children played in the pools along with the children of other highborn lords and ladies. One day, when the sun was hot, Daenerys took pity on the children of the servants and guards and allowed them to play in the pools with the highborn children, starting a tradition that is still kept in Dorne to this day.

A series of portraits of the Targaryen dynasty by the renowned Braavosi painter Mateyko Yan

I got inspired by @nanshe-of-nina's artasoiaf series and I thought... huh... there's a set of drawings showing various kings that could work in this context...

(Sorry Polish followers for any brain damage you may get from this post)

Aegon the Conqueror with his sister-wife, Visenya (Rhaenys' portrait sadly was lost to time).

[Bolesław IV the Curly as Aegon and Anna Jagiellon as Visenya]

Maegor the Cruel

[Bolesław III Wrymouth]

Jaehaerys I and his sister-wife Good Queen Alysanne (Jaehaerys' portrait shows him by the end of their reign, while Alysanne is portrayed as a young queen).

[Mieszko III the Old and Richeza of Lotharingia]

Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen who Never Was

[Doubravka of Bohemia]

Daemon the Rogue Prince (here portrayed with the coat of arms of the house Arryn; possibly during his stay in the Vale of Arryn as the husband of lady Rhea Royce)

[Leszek the White]

Viserys II

[Władysław II Jagiełło/ Jogaila]

Aegon IV the Unworthy

[Augustus III]

Maron Nymeros Martell, the ruling prince of Dorne, and his sister Myriah, the queen consort of Daeron II

[Władysław III of Varna and Jadwiga]

Baelor Breakspear, son of Daeron II

[Konrad I of Masovia]

Aerion Brightflame, son of Maekar I

[Władysław III Spindleshanks]

#I hope I managed to capture their Vibes #also Matejko gave too many people dark hair so I didn't have that much to choose from #lmao #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #fire and blood #targaryen #I feel sick in the head for making it tbh #aegon targaryen #visenya targaryen #alysanne targaryen

La princesa Mariah Nymeros Martell era la esposa y reina consorte del rey Daeron II Targaryen.

Mariah era la hija mayor del príncipe de Dorne durante el reinado del rey Daeron I Targaryen. Tenía un hermano menor, el príncipe Maron Martell.

En 161 DC, después de que el Rey Daeron I fuera asesinado en Dorne, el Rey Baelor I Targaryen liberó a los rehenes Dornish en Desembarco del Rey y los devolvió a Dorne personalmente, caminando descalzo. Una vez que llegó a Lanza del Sol, habló con el Príncipe de Dorne y acordó una paz, que incluía el compromiso de Mariah con el primo de Baelor, el Príncipe Daeron Targaryen. Los dos se casarían una vez que fueran mayores de edad.

Mariah finalmente se casó con Daeron, y tendrían cuatro hijos juntos: Baelor, Aerys, Rhaegel y Maekar. Baelor se parecía a su madre en apariencia, con cabello y ojos oscuros.

En 184 DC., tras la muerte del rey Aegon IV Targaryen, Daeron lo sucedió como rey Daeron II Targaryen y Mariah se convirtió en reina.

Princess Mariah Nymeros Martell was the wife and queen consort of King Daeron II Targaryen.

Mariah was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Dorne during the reign of King Daeron I Targaryen. She had a younger brother, Prince Maron Martell.

In 161 AC, after King Daeron I was killed in Dorne, King Baelor I Targaryen freed the Dornish hostages in King's Landing and returned them to Dorne personally, walking barefoot. Once he reached Sunspear, he spoke with the Prince of Dorne, and agreed upon a peace, which included the betrothal of Myriah to Baelor's cousin, Prince Daeron Targaryen. The two would marry once they were both of age.

Mariah eventually married Daeron, and they would have four sons together: Baelor, Aerys, Rhaegel and Maekar. Baelor took after his mother from him in appearance, with dark hair and eyes.

In 184 AC, after the death of King Aegon IV Targaryen, Daeron succeeded him as King Daeron II Targaryen and Mariah became queen.

Hi there! Daenerys I really took Maron's surname after the wedding? bc I thought Dorne's marriage customs were different than the Seven Kingdoms, I mean, Nymeria of Ny Sar and Mellario of Norvos didn't took their husbands last name.

Hi! I quickly touched the topic in this meta about Dorne’s consort’s title. Nothing would lead us to think that Daenerys I took on the Martell surname.

It doesn’t have anything to do with Dorne’s marriage customs but simply with Daenerys’s own status. She was royalty, a princess of blood (to echo what they called princes of blood in France), whose marriage “mark[ed] Dorne’s marriage to the Iron Throne” (AFFC, The Soiled Knight). I will copy-paste what I wrote in that first meta:

Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV) married into House Nymeros Martell and is never referred as Daenerys Nymeros Martell. She is the only Westerosi lady we know of that married a ruling Prince of Dorne but it does work along this rule of keeping one’s birth name. Her title was most probably something along the lines of “Daenerys Targaryen, Lady of Sunspear/Lady Nymeros Martell, Princess Consort of Dorne”. Of course, she was royalty so it is very specific: the royal name will always prevail and Westerosi ladies cannot “marry into” the Targaryen family. All non-Targaryen spouses are referred by their birth house name, starting with Elia Nymeros Martell. Other exemples of this include Cersei Lannister (never Baratheon), Myriah Nymeros Martell, Aemma Arryn, Alicent Hightower and Betha Blackwood just to name a few.

To add to this, all Targaryen princesses who married into other houses are referred to as Targaryens. A few exemples include Rhaelle Targaryen (married Ormund Baratheon), Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon, The Queen Who Never Was, married Corlys Velaryon) and Daella Targaryen (married Rodrik Arryn).

Even in the text, Daenerys I is still referred as being a Targaryen and not Martell:

The Gardens are my haven, Prince Maron raised them as a gift for his Targaryen bride (AFFC, The Soiled Knight)

One of my ancestors had them built to please his Targaryen bride (AFFC, The Watcher)

All in all, the Targaryen name always prevails, Dorne or not Dorne.

As for Nymeria of Ny Sar, she literally formed a new line combining her name and her husband’s name: Nymeros Martell (what a legend!). We can only guess for Mellario but she’s enough of a high-ranking noblewoman to keep her name no matter what and...Doran and her are estranged.

House Nymeros Martell: Myriah&Maron, the suns who married dragons

Myriah was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Dorne during the reign of King Daeron I Targaryen.

After King Daeron I had been killed in Dorne in 161 AC, King Baelor I Targaryen freed the Dornish hostages in King's Landing and returned them to Dorne personally, walking barefoot. Once he reached Sunspear, he spoke with the Prince of Dorne, and agreed upon a peace, which included the betrothal of Myriah to Baelor's cousin, Prince Daeron Targaryen. The two would marry once they were both of age.

In 184 AC, after the death of King Aegon IV Targaryen, Daeron succeeded him as King Daeron II Targaryen and Myriah became queen.

Myriah’s marriage opened the door for Prince Maron to, more than two decades later, accept a marriage proposal between himself and Prince Daeron's (by then, King Daeron II) sister, Princess Daenerys Targaryen. This marriage formally made Dorne part of the Seven Kingdoms.

The marriage took place in King's Landing, and afterwards, when he had kneeled before the Iron Throne, Prince Maron and King Daeron went to pay their respects to the statue of the late King Baelor at the Great Sept. To celebrate the wedding, which took place in 187 AC, a tourney was held.

Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken: Magnificent and Dangerous Women of House Nymeros Martell — 17/20.

Myriah was the heir of Prince Marence Martell. Being the eldest child, she was supposed to succeed her father as the ruling Princess of Dorne, but, as a result of the peace agreement between King Baelor I Targaryen and Prince Marence, Myriah married Daeron Targaryen, Baelor’s cousin, and years later, when he ascended to the throne, she became the Queen consort of Westeros, whereas her younger brother Maron became the next Prince of Dorne.

This marriage was happy and fruitful, and Myriah gave birth to four sons: Baelor, Aerys, Rhaegel and Maekar.
