#Rhaena the conqueror

[maegorsbignaturals]

How would the Targaryens react to the modern times, not modern!Targaryens but canon!Targaryens/medieval!Targaryens? To meme culture, to our fashion, to our technology?

Maegor WOULD NOT survive one minute of exposision to Skibidi toilet. Probably thinks Vapes are for the weakest links of the chain but he is a huge fanatic of over priced gentrified chain gyms. Loves polygamy but doesn't understand neopronous and neither does tries to understand them. He would love to scream at strangers through his car window when all are stuck in the traffic.

Rhaena the lesbian my sweet baby girl, i think she would like to read some female poets that struggled with mental health a lot like Sylvia Plath and Alejandra Pizarnik. also like every average medieval woman she would love how free and more permissive modern times are with the women in general. She has No Reaction to men like Andrew Tate because i am sure she has seen men with faaaar more worst opinions towards women in her time. In fact, i think she would mock him severely.

Naerys doesn't like Ethel Cain. Like yeah preacher's daughter has a lot of things that she could relate but she considers the whole evangelism thing as a mean to abuse a woman as blasphemous. Probably enjoys Alexa praying with her. Loves the 'puter and those online blogs with threads where she can exchanges her experiences and not be judged and belittled by it. She gives me the vibe of being a Calico critter girl, probably a pochaco girl too. Like this is literally naerys

Visenya would love mixed martial arts. She would enjoy seeing UFC in the front row and screaming her lungs at the fighters. Rhaenys would really enjoy going to concerts and museums. And definitely they would adore those multiparts long ass tiktoks of some obscure reddit storytime with minecraft parkour background or subway surfers background

Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men but they say that because of our dragons. Without them, we're just like everyone else

The Dragon Has Three Heads

[green-watcher]

Maegor the Cruel had 6 wives total, largely due to his inability to produce an heir. They were Ceryse Hightower, Alys Harroway, Tyanna of the Tower, Elinor Costayne, Jeyne Westerling, and his niece Rhaena Targaryen. His first wife was Ceryse Hightower, whom he married in 25 AC, after the conquest.

[fuhhhhhh]

the andal laws only apply when a women is benefiting from something .

the TG will always say that " Rhaenyra would't be recognised as queen because of andal law " But let me tell you something if andal law was applied back then Viserys would not be king Because :

By the andal law a man cannot have a second wife while he is married to his first wife . so , Visenya would be racognised as the legal wife of Aegon i not rhaenys that means by andal law Maegor would be Aegons rightful heir not Aenys because aegons , marriage with Rhaenys is not recognised as legal . So, that means Maegor did not usurp his Half-older brother because the throne is rightfully his .

After maegor died . Since , he did not have any children the throne will pass over to Aenys i but since he is died the throne will go to aegon the uncrowned but since he is also died the throne will pass over to his daughter princess Aerea by the andal law a daughter comes before an uncle {jaehaerys } Jaehaerys by the law tecnically he would be be recognised as a usurper .

So, after Jaehaerys i is king his heir is prince aemon but since prince aemon is dead the throne will pass over to his daughter princess rhaenys ii will be queen but the throne was pass over to prince baelon , so lets consider rhaenys was the heir then by the andal law ser leanor would be the king and since he married rhaenyra she will be the queen consort and since jacaerys is legally recognised as his son so he will be king .

So , by applying andal law in the above situation viserys is not even a candidate to be king it seems it only applys when a woman is benefiting from something , like rhaenyra who was recognised as her fathers heir for ten years straight .

by the andal law the above man would be recognised as usurpers who stole the crown from the rightful heir

Queen of Hidden Evils (Chapter I)

✒️ Maegor × Toxic OC wife

✒️ Summary: Maegor needs to find a new wife since his existing wives have failed to provide him an heir. He sends a proposal to a lesser lordly house of the Crownlands, asking the hand of the Lord's widowed sister. Maegor has heard very little about that woman but what really matters for him is the fact that, she has a ten year old daughter and hence, her fertility is proven.

✒️ Trigger warning: Mature content

✒️ Next part: Chapter II

The Red Keep :

“And whom do you suggest this time, Grand Maester?” King Maegor said reluctantly. He was getting quite tired of marrying again and again but he made sure no one knew that.

“Your Grace, if it pleases you, I would suggest Lady Lucinda Rosby,” Grand Maester Benifer replied.

Stroking his beard, Maegor said, “Lucinda Rosby? I have never heard much about her.”

“She is a woman of proven fertility, Your Grace,” Grand Maester Benifer said. “She has a ten years old daughter.”

“She is a widow, I suppose. Her husband was the elder brother of the current Lord Stokeworth, who died in a hunting accident,” Maegor said, trying to recall the events.

“Ser Bennard Stokeworth was a brave man, Your Grace. He was fond of riding horses and hunting. Unfortunately, that took his life just two years after his marriage. He left behind a three month old daughter and a grieving young wife. Her Ladyship was only eight and ten when she was widowed. She has been a widow ever since,” Grand Maester said.

Maegor looked at him and remarked, “A quite devoted woman or perhaps quite picky.”

“What are the orders for me, Your Grace? Shall I send a raven to Lord Rosby or perhaps a messenger?” Grand Maester asked.

“Send a messenger, Grand Maester. Ravens are comparatively less impressive. Who knows? That picky lady of the Rosbys might find that raven ugly and drive it away without reading the message,” Maegor said with a tone which certainly did not reveal whether he was being sarcastic or serious.

The Grand Maester paid his respects and left the king's chamber.

Maegor stood up a while later and arrived at Queen Rhaena's chamber.

“Beloved Niece!” Maegor exclaimed.

“Not at all beloved Uncle!” Rhaena responded back with an equally enthusiastic tone to mock him.

Maegor grabbed her waist as she tried to wriggle away. He whispered into her ears, “Don't you think that you are being too insolent, my dear wife?”

Rhaena mocked him by saying, “How do you expect me to talk to a kinslayer and usurper?”

“We could have been the most powerful king and queen the seven kingdoms have ever seen. You could have been a good wife to me and given me a son or a daughter or both. And yet, you choose to provoke me, mock me and dig your own grave,” Maegor said tightening his grip on her waist.

Rhaena replied, “I do not want any of that.”

“What do you want then?” Maegor almost screamed.

Rhaena said, “Nothing from you.”

Maegor let go of her. Rhaena took a deep breath and saw her uncle approaching her. She was scared as her uncle was unpredictable and crueler than anyone she had known.

“Do you think that you would have a better life without me?” Maegor asked. “You resent me for sending away your whores whom you call companions. But do you think that oaf of your brother would have allowed that? That fool tried to fight against me atop a dragon which wasn't even half the size of my dragon. You think that he could have kept you happier? You wish for me to die, don't you? You do not wish to give me a child. Isn't that why you have been secretly taking moon tea and poisoning your womb? I know everything. But I stayed silent because I love you and because you are my blood.”

“That is all a lie. You do not love me. You do not love anyone but yourself,” Rhaena said, spitefully.

Maegor replied angrily, “Foolish woman! Do you know what will happen to you if I die today? I made you the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms but if I die today, you will no longer be the queen. You will not be the Dowager Queen either, for you have given me no child which I can call mine. If I die, your brother Jaehaerys will be the king and perhaps your sister Alysanne will be the queen or whichever daughter of lickspittle your mother chooses. You will have nothing. No one will care for your opinions anymore and no one will respect you the way they do now. My own mother forged the Seven Kingdoms along with my father, with fire and blood. And yet, when your father was the king, she had no choice but to see her kingdom almost perish into nothing. What have you done compared to her? Your fate will be much worse.”

“Is that why you came here? To remind me of how great you are and how lucky I am to be alive and have you as my husband?” Rhaena asked him with tears in her eyes.

“Oh no, certainly not,” Maegor said. “I came here to tell you that I have decided to take another wife. I have already sent the proposal.”

“And who is that unlucky woman?” Rhaena asked.

“Lady Lucinda of House Rosby,” Maegor replied.

Rhaena burst into laughter on hearing the name.

Confused, Maegor asked her, “What happened? What is the matter?”

“If you hadn't killed that Pentosi witch, she would have certainly told you how her husband died. You do not know that, do you?” Rhaena said, laughing.

Maegor said, “He died in a hunting accident.”

Rhaena laughed again and said, “Things people say to keep their honour. One of my previous companions was Samantha Stokeworth, the younger sister of her husband, Ser Bennard Stokeworth. She told me something that you do not know.”

“And what is that?” Maegor asked.

“Apparently, her husband had a lowborn paramour. Lady Lucinda had that wench killed, and her head and entrails served to her husband when he was about to break fast on the morrow, while on his hunting trip. Ser Bennard was horrified when he saw his paramour's severed head wrapped in her entrails, and died of shock in his tent,” Rhaena said with an evil smile on her face. “I wish you luck, Uncle. I am sure she is the perfect wife for you.”

Rosby Castle :

Lady Prunella Stokeworth, a maid of ten, was the only Stokeworth living in the Rosby Castle. Lady Rosby used to think that it might be more proper if she lived in the Stokeworth Castle with her people but as the girl grew older, that thought vanished. The girl though comely, did not even possess a quarter of the beauty that her mother and Lady Rosby's goodsister, Lucinda Rosby did. However, Prunella seemed lovely enough to Lady Rosby. As a matter of fact, she had even convinced Lady Lucinda to get Prunella betrothed to her son.

It was another evening when Lady Rosby was having a chat with Prunella in her chamber.

“Aunt, is it true that the king wishes to marry my mother?” Prunella asked Lady Rosby.

Lady Rosby said, “It is true, little one. A messenger arrived this morning with a letter from His Grace. If we agree, he intends to wed her two moons later.”

“Will Uncle agree to this?” Prunella asked.

“Oh my sweet summer child, it is not really a proposal. It is an order and your uncle cannot defy it. However, we have to convince your mother as well,” Lady Rosby replied.

Just then, Lady Lucinda entered the chamber. She had just returned from the Castle Sept.

“May I join?” Lucinda asked.

“Sure. Let me pour you a cup of wine,” Lady Rosby said.

Prunella asked her mother, “Mother, have you heard about the proposal that came from the king?”

“I have,” Lucinda replied without a visible expression on her face.

“Are you going to reject the proposal?” Prunella asked.

Lucinda chuckled and said, “Foolish girl! Why would I refuse to become the queen?”

did hotd really give daemon sexual fantasies of his mother as if alyssa didn't die when he was three... he'd barely even remember her face?? they really have time for all this stupid irrelevant shit but cut nettles from the plot huh. and relegated baela and rhaena to minor roles. i can't

(though tbf ryan condal apparently said something about "aegon the conqueror's time in valyria" in an interview, and rhaenys said something like "let's go to battle again, meleys" in one scene, so. no idea what to call the show-verse but it is not the world of asoiaf)

[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

The fact that Visenya proposed to marry Maegor and Rhaena to “settle the matter of succession” is a vital detail in understanding the Targaryen/Valyrian right of primogeniture. It meant that without a doubt to anyone there, Rhaena was going to succeed her father since she was the first born regardless of any other children (sons) that will come after. And by marrying Maegor to the heir of the Iron Throne, they could rule together and any child that comes from them will unquestionably be the heir to the throne.

The fact that after Aenys’ death, Aegon the Uncrowned was championed as heir & not Rhaena has everything to do with them bowing to Andal customs to avoid more strife since it was their Valyrian tradition of sibling marriages that upset the kingdom in the first place HOWEVER it was established by the Conquerors themselves and then reiterated by Aenys’ rule alongside his brother and also Visenya wanting Rhaena and Maegor to marry and rule together, that there is no sole ruler in Targaryen/Valyrian tradition so regardless Aegon was going to be king and Rhaena queen and they would rule together there wasn’t any one is subservient to the other. They just paraded Aegon around as heir to gain the support of the kingdom.

And Rhaena knew it too. She told Alysanne that she & Jaehaerys already have her crown, they will not have her daughter too. “Queen Rhaena grew ever more resentful that her own claim to the Iron Throne, and that of her daughters, had been disregarded in favor of that of “my baby brother” (as she was wont to call Jaehaerys). She was the firstborn, she reminded those who would listen, and had been a dragonrider before any of her siblings, yet all of them and “even my own mother” had conspired to pass her over.”

Everything points out to women inherinting over men if they are the first born of their parents in Valyrian culture.

Very good points, anon. There's also the "Aegon had to marry Visenya for duty" thing. Aegon was crowned, but Visenya (and Rhaenys) was as much of a ruler as he was. I stand by my theory that Aegon allowed Andal customs to get to his head.

In my opinion Rhaena and Maegor should've been wed first, it would have set precedent for a woman heir and a royal consort not to mention joined the bloodlines of Visenya and Rhaenys.

[belanekra]

Okay, 2 things about the whole "the ruler tells the heir about Aegon's dream" thing.

It's established that Viserys never told Daemon about the dream in all the years that he was the heir. Because he was still hoping Aemma would have a son. Sure sure. What if he fucking died before that though? What if he choked on a chicken leg and died and he'd never told Daemon, and he hadn't told Rhaenyra yet because she wasn't the heir? What then? Does the dream just die with him? That seems irresponsible, Viserys. Which I guess is in character but still annoys me.

Who the fuck told Jaehaerys about Aegon's dream? Presumably Aegon told his son Aenys and Aenys told his son Aegon the Uncrowned. But when Aenys died, Aegon was with Rhaena on progress and Jaehaerys was at Dragonstone. As far as I can recall, Aegon the uncrowned and Jaehaerys were never in the same place again before Aegon died. And I'm sure Maegor didn't know about his father's dream. And I doubt either of the Aegons or Aenys wrote it down anywhere. So how the hell did Jaehaerys know about it in order to tell Viserys about it? Did Aegon the Uncrowned tell Rhaena before he died, and then she told Jaehaerys when he took the throne? That's literally all I can think of that would explain this.

what i think about sometimes is that it’s lowkey crazy that it took 130 years for an eldest girl vs. younger boy succession conflict to break out into Actual War among the targaryens. i mean, in every single generation after the conqueror’s sons (in which there were no daughters at all) the eldest child of that generation had always been a daughter, but their inheritance was never formally scorned until rhaenys.

firstly, rhaena was aenys i’s eldest child, but she was quickly married off to her brother, not necessarily with the explicit intention to prevent a succession conflict, but prevention was a result; it made for a simple father-son succession with a built in queen consort.

of the next generation, there were 2 daughters elder than jaehaerys’ eldest male child aegon (who died as an infant and actually left a presumed female heir for a few years, daenerys!): aerea and rhaella. rhaella was sent away to be a septa, but aerea was even proclaimed heir! her claim against jaehaerys, like rhaenyra and daemon later, was a matter of king’s daughter vs. king’s brother. however, her inheritance was unofficially spurned, and with less publicity and outcry than rhaenys, because A) her father aegon “the uncrowned” was, as his nickname implies, never officially crowned king; and B) she was proclaimed heir by maegor, which left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. but jaehaerys was indeed chosen over her because of the male primogeniture that put viserys over rhaenys! and rhaena, her mother, held a valid resentment over that.

and then finally after jaehaerys is crowned king and has ruled for a little while, he actually has an eldest female heir, daenaerys, for ~6 years—and her mother alyssanne specifically contended for her right to be heir! but then she dies, and jaehaerys gets an uncontroversial male heir, AND a uncontroversial male backup. but then both of those male heirs die, and like 4 of their daughters die/run away/are sent away in rapid succession (alyssa, daella, viserra, saera, maegelle) and suddenly there are TWO possible options for jaehaerys’ children, so he turns to his children’s children, and we all know how it goes.

TLDR: the dance of the dragons was not the first succession conflict based on gender. it is simply the only one that did not have a clean “wrap up” (sorry for such an insensitive turn of phrase), and thus turned into a war. targaryen women have been spurned since day 1, but it was never officially ordained until rhaenys, and never viciously fought over until rhaenyra.
