Crowns, Tiaras, Diadems of A Song of Ice and Fire

This is a comprehensive list of every crown, tiara and diadem mentioned in the entirety of A Song of Ice and Fire and related books, because I'm insane. This is a very long post so enjoy.

The Rights of Inheritance

Royal crowns, Tiaras and Diadems are usually inherited by the next monarch and destributed at their whim. Certain crowns in canon are symbolically important, lending credence to a claimant's claim to the throne. During the Dance, the crown of Aegon the Conqueror became of of two relics to confirm Aegon II's right to the throne throne at a time it was disputed. Even during the short Regency of Aegon II, Prince Aemond wore the circlet as an affirmation of his power.

The Fate of Royal Jewelry

Many of the Crowns on this list haven't been seen in a while. I suspect as in royal jewels in real life, many of the pieces have either been sold off to afford wars or lavish livestyles or have been broken down to create newer pieces. It may be that the families are still in possession of these crowns but they have taken a new shape.

Crowns of Westeros

Crown of Aegon I - The Conqueror's Crown

The Conqueror's Crown is an open circlet of Valyrian Steel and large square cut rubies. Aegon's crown was of the trappings of legitimacy for House Targaryen, worn by some of her more martial minded Kings. It's notable wearers are Aegon I, Aenys I, Maegor I, Aegon II, Daeron I "The Young Dragon" and unusually, Prince Aemond for a period during the Dance. The crown was lost in Dorne during the campaign of The Young Dragon.

“[Bellegere] gave birth to three children during the decade, two girls and a boy of doubtful paternity.”

This is what it was like going from the reign of Aegon the Unworthy to Daeron the Good

[sshireens]

the daemon → viserys → aegon iv → daeron pervert gene pass-down is really an under appreciated theory and i am i think the only one who believes it

[stannis-the-freaking-mannis]

targ kings 2 (daeron to aerys ii)

[gojuo]

Thinking about Rhaenyra and Aegon iv as rulers are way similar than Ageon ii &Aegon iv

Rhaenyra and Aegon IV both:

were nothing but monarchs who put their personal pleasure and desires ahead of the realm and its laws

viewed the power of the Iron Throne as a vehicle for them to use to satisfy their fancies and caprices, and little else

were brazen and open about their affairs

bestowed favor on an extramarital lover publicly

both cared little for legalities

both used their obvious bastards to get the property of their supposed fathers, Laenor Velaryon and Ossifer Plumm

both took action that threatened to send the realm into a civil war (Rhaenyra by having an affair and passing her bastards as trueborn heirs, Aegon by legitimizing his bastards and giving Daemon the sword Blackfyre, one of the visible symbols of Targaryen legitimacy while casting shadow on his sister-wife Naerys' fidelity and showing public disfavor to his heir Daeron to the point where rumors sprung up that he was planning to disinherit him)

both abused royal power even before they ascended to the throne

both were vindictive, cruel and consummately selfish

I've written about Aegon II and Aegon IV's similarities and dissimilarities before.

It’s hilarious to see TG claiming that Aemond threw Aegon under the bus in HOTD during the Driftmark episode to protect his mother from Viserys’ wrath. He wouldn’t do anything to Alicent. Once again, he would just told her to stop spreading unfounded rumors. She bring up the bastard thing the day Joffrey was born, IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE, and Viserys calmly told her a story about his black mare. And this wasn’t the first time she told him about Rhaenyra’s sons being bastards.

Alicent: I have raised this matter before and you forbade me to speak of it, so I held my tongue. To have one child like that is a mistake, to have three is an insult, to the throne, to you, to House Velaryon and the match you battled so hard to make for her. Not to mention decency itself.

Viserys: The consequences of an allegation like the one you toy at would be dire. Do not speak of this again.

Y’all try so hard to make Viserys more abusive than Aegon IV, Robert Baratheon or Aerys II so Alicent can be the most victimized victim that’s ever been victimed in the history of victims, but that’s NOT gonna work. Nice try though!

I haven't checked any TG stuff this past few weeks, I admit, and Twitter has thus far not brought up anything like this. I have no idea what you're referring to. I will say that they didn't have a fully consensual, innocuous sex life--Viserys and Alicent--but yeah, Viserys didn't perform those acts of abuse you mention. Not that would ever make the settings feel safe for someone, but yeah. I wouldn't league him with the likes of Aegon IV, Aerys II, or Robert.

Queen!Reader:

Aemon absolutely dotes on Baby Breakspear after he’s born. The Kingsguard is often seen holding his grand “nephew” when he was just a baby. And as the lad got older, he often focused more on him during training sessions and helping him hone his skills. It’s quite a touching sight, despite the tension between the two the court thinks it’s rather sweet how he looks after his brothers “grandson”.

The love that my baby Baelor deserves 😔💖

He cares more than his brother, the "actual" grandfather, it's almost hilarious

While the Queen looks at this amused 😚

Which King Aegon is your favorite?

The one who decided to be king of an entire continent for the Lols

Dude who decided to fight his sister so hard they killed all the dragons

Depressed child

The biggest sister-wife abuser of all time

Loves the small folk and set his entire family on fire

Bonus: blue hair and pronouns

[Did Daena complaining about how she might have been Queen if it weren't for the Dance of the Dragons determining that a Targaryen queen would never rule in her own right lead to Daemon Blackfyre's rebellion?]

Certainly possible, but it was Aegon's very public gift of Blackfyre to his bastard son that first started widespread talk that perhaps he should be king.
