    Wouldn't have been so easy at that time, since Daemon was still married to Rhea Royce. Although, that marriage was never consummated, so Viserys could have had a word with the High Septon, got Daemon's marriage annulled, then wed Rhaenyra to Daemon, to unify their claims and bring both to heel by giving them a reason to obey him, by giving them what they want on his terms.

    I don't think marrying Alicent was the problem. Whoever he married, any son born to them would be contenders. The problem is, Viserys never truly trained Rhaenyra to rule and extend her own influence. Worse, he never publicly heralded her as the rightful heir after Aegon was born. He was too sick and too optimistic to realize that half of Westeros won't just bow down to a woman as their ruler.

    She makes a very, a VERY good point. If it really was about strengthening their position and if he really just wanted her happy and as heir he'd have married Laena. But like everyone else, he gave into the notion that women come after the men. His own discomfort with the age difference mattered, hers does not. He can chose his partner based on his likings, she cannot. On one hand he wants her to feel like she has a choice as long as she makes a good choice, but at the same time he refuses to be an example. Marrying Alicent was his 2nd mistake. Ordering his son delivered and his wife killed was his first and biggest.

    If King Viserys married Laena, than the Dance of Dragons would’ve still probably happened. If Laena had a son, you know Corlys would want his grandson to become king instead of Rhaenyra, even though Viserys named her heir beforehand. The only difference would be that the Hightowers might support Rhaenyra’s claim and be on her side, with Alicent as one of her ladies-in-waiting and the Velaryons would’ve played a part in the war. The two houses’s roles would be switched.

    "The war started because Otto planted.." No. The war started beacuse the Targaryens forget where they came from and how they conquered the land. Daemon did partly. Jaerhys understood this well and didn't hand out dragons left to right. If Viserys was serious about making Raeynerya heir he must craft the alliance with those he can trust and also scare the shit out of the rest with their dragons. WIth this "dragon only" rule it would have been MUCH easier to prusade Rahyenra to marry, with his brother and multiply, and only their true born, limited to only two heirs would in turn ride dragons. This entire idea of making deals with the Andal-houses and share their power with them set the doom for the Targaryens, in that way Viserys was to weak, blinded and to influenced by the westroisi traditions. he should never have let his other born children ride dragons. Its the source to their power. And he handed out WMDs left and right. That is not what a good ruler does in that situation if you truly care about the people in Westeros. The Targaryen fuck ups did more damage to the people than the white walkers ever did. Lol. Only needed one Arya for that. The dragon rule should always had been that one of 3 dragons along as the faith and the Andal houses was allowed to remain in power. If they wanted more Targaryens in power on dragons? They need to replace the mighty houses in wetstros to do so. In that way they could have created a new Valyria over time. But the idea was not to create a new Valyria but to stop the white walkers. The rule of 3 dragons is the most logic path to take here in means of keeping the peace and power balance.

    Jaeherys did hand out dragons 'left and right'. partly because its not in the power fo the king to control each of his house's members. The 'Queen who never was' wedded into the velaryons while retaining her dragon DURING Jaeherys's reign. Hell, almost all of his own children that reached adulthood had their own dragons and in no way did he regulate who gets which. The only time that he did show this facet was when dragon eggs were stolen and there was a probability of them falling into the hands of non-targaryen bloodlines. And laenor naturally got a dragon through his mother as well. Viserys can be shitted upon for a number of things but this is too much. Hell, if he had actually tried to do what you suggest, them it would kickstart a dance of dragons on a much higher scale except this time it would be the King and his heir against literally everyone else who stands to lose their power over their dragons.

    I haven't been able to figure out what she meant when she says "You think a man will do it?" Mustve been too young to realize she was into girls with Alicent, but didn't get the chance to explore that because Alicent got with her dad without telling her she's been seeing Viserys.

    She’s asking if he thinks a man will make her happy The other part of ur comment could explain why Alicent gets so pissy when rhaenyra is out doing what she’s doing with her uncle

    The way Paddy Constantine describes it, it seems that Viserys is doing the kind of reverse of what Teddy Roosevelt did after his first wife died. You could count with your fingers how often he publicly called Alice Roosevelt Longworth "Alice" because he did everything in his power to purge Alice Lee Roosevelt from his memory. Viserys obsesses over Aemma and Rhaenyra at the expense of Alicent and her children.

    Viserys is an embarassment. If only Aemon didn't die.

    Firstly, YES!!! The dragons and their riders are very much a double edged sword. Secondly, Gallow Glass is one of my favorite characters from A Discovery of Witches. 👍

    Marrying Laena Velaryon wouldve been a mistake. Politically it is sound but biologically? Not even. She'll just suffer the same fate as Aemma did a lot of stillborns and hard pregnancies. Aemma had the same problem she had been too young when she married Viserys. She was 11 iirc and looked what happened to her. Laena was only a year older than Aemma when theyre forcing Viserys to marry her.

    Another way dragon riders could go extinct is BY marrying too many outsiders. Dragon rider blood gets too diluted and the dragons wouldn't accept them anymore.

    @@santanas1879 That's true and that's why politically it is a good idea to marry Laena. Biologically not so much. Beside Viserys already has an heir remarrying would just messed everything up. Like what has already happened.

    The Green's claim would only be "he's a boy she's a girl" if it weren't for Viserys' lack of balls and Rhaenyra's selfishness. From Aegon's POV his older sister and the heir apparent is a mega hater on him for no real reason , which is why it's so easy for Allicent to manipulate him.

    I don't think Rhaenyra deserves to be queen. She thinks she's above everyone and everything, that she doesn't have to adhere to the same rules that apply to everyone else including her father. Her father was pushed to marry for the good of the realm even though he was still grieving. Alicent didn't romantically like him and he did not romantically like her either. But they both did what duty calls for. If you can't do that, you won't make a good leader and you won't have many allies. It's not all about me, me, me.

    You're bogus. What you're seeing here is the vestiges of a girl who lost her mother too young and clearly is still feeling the loss heavily. "I had a family"--she was referring to how he murdered Aemma here. She's not ready for romance at this point, and why is that something to be held against her? Ah. Because poor little Alicent wasn't, either. Neither case was right; however, at least Alicent wasn't tied to a gay man who EVERYONE knew would never sleep with her, while expecting her to manage immaculate conception. Rhaenyra got that deal with laenor; a good man, a good friend but TERRIBLE husband. There's no way he'd ever be attracted to her in order to sleep with her, even if she'd had the guts to try what Margaery suggested with Renly in GoT. And she didn't. (And that's ok, too.)

    I don't necessarily believe Rhaenyra was thinking me, me, me. I think she was thinking of the preservation of house Targaryen. However, it's still in a way self centered. In my opinion all of the remaining Valyrians from the time of the Doom were to focused on the preservation of thier own houses, when they should have been focused on the preservation of Valyrian culture. Ancient tomes, Valyrian ship (the greatest fleets that the got and hotd world had ever known) building methods, and Smelting Valyrian steel were all essentially lost from 95% of the world because Valyrians could not get it together enough to realize they needed to be working together and marrying within the culture
