TARGARYEN NOVEMBER 2021

↳ Day 11: Favourite Queen(s)

Aemma Arryn was the fifth child of Lord Rodrik Arryn, the first by his second wife, Princess Daella Targaryen who passed away in childbed. Aemma was the granddaughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his sister-wife, Queen Alysanne Targaryen. From her father's first marriage, Aemma had four elder half-siblings.

In 93 AC, Aemma married her cousin Prince Viserys Targaryen. Upon their grandfather's death, Aemma became the queen consort of Viserys, who had been chosen as heir to the throne during the Great Council in 101 AC. She became pregnant multiple times in the early years of her marriage but suffered multiple miscarriages, and gave birth to a son who eventually died in the cradle. In 97 AC, Aemma gave birth to a healthy daughter, Princess Rhaenyra. Aemma and Viserys both adored their only living child. In early 105 AC, Aemma became pregnant once more. Late in the year, she gave birth to a son, Prince Baelon Targaryen. Aemma died during the birth, and her son died a day later.

Aemma's daughter Rhaenyra was chosen as heir to King Viserys I Targaryen in late 105 AC, after the deaths of both Aemma and Baelon, and after a fall-out between King Viserys and his brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen. Despite the fact that the lords of the realm swore their fealty to Princess Rhaenyra in 105 AC, she found herself in a struggle for the throne after her father's death in 129 AC. Viserys had remarried in 106 AC, and fathered four children with his new wife. The eldest of those four, Prince Aegon, had been crowned king, in an attempt to overthrow Princess Rhaenyra. This power struggle lead to a war known as the Dance of the Dragons, which caused the deaths of both Rhaenyra and her half-brother Aegon, as well as most of Rhaenyra's children, and Aegon's siblings and sons. The youngest two of Rhaenyra's living children, Princes Aegon and Viserys, would later become kings, Aegon III and Viserys II. It would be the line of Viserys II, descendants of Aemma Arryn, that continued the line of dragonkings.
