What If Rhaenys and Viserys Were Married? (House Of The Dragon)

Ойын-сауық

In this video I discuss what could have potentially happened if the two biggest claims to iron throne had come together much earlier in their lives.

    In this timeline, I'd imagine Corlys ending up with Emma Aryyn (basically swap spouses). It likely was his great plan to have dragon riding offspring someday. Jaehaerys did see the Velaryons as a valuable asset. I believe he did once present one of his daughters to Corlys in the past but she claimed "He likes his ships more than her."

    The Targaryen princess daughter of 👑 Jaehaerys you are referring to is shy Princess Daella Targaryen who was the mother Queen Aemma Arryn Targaryen from "House of the Dragon". She had an abundance of potential matches . . . over 17 of them and the Sea Snake was among them She did indeed lament that he was more interested in maritime pursuits than courtship with her. The Old King should have offered Princess Viserra Targaryen to the Sea Snake when she came of age at 14 but she had no selection whatsoever of potential matches unlike her older sister sadly 😢.

    I always imaged that alyassne what imaging her great grandson with targaryen hair and bronze eyes wearing the bronze armor of house Royce and welding lamenting whilst riding vermethior the Bronze fury. Plus Daemon couldn't marry her daughter Gael who she clung onto until it killed Gael. Jeaherys likely wanted great grandaughters to marry a son of Viserys to prevent the realms reaction to an sibling marriage under a much weaker king. Also it kept Daemon away from Kingslanding and the throne

    I always believed that it was due to the fact that they got married to young, with Aemma being like 12 at that time and her initial pregnancies causing her to have damaged reproductive organs (as happens in real life) I am pretty sure its supposed to be a commentary on child brides. Also the Maester theory doesn't really work out because Alicent had 4 children, and while she is a hightower the children would still be Dragon riders which would in the eyes of the Citadel be just as dangerous

    Yes, but the Hightower is deeply connected to the Citadel and the Sept. The Maesters killed the dragons, according to Marwin, I think they wouldn't see Alicent's children as threats, instead they would be assets. After all, they all did pretty much exactly as they were told.

    What I have often thought is that Viserys instead of sticking his head in the sand and pretending a problem didn’t exist, he needed to call another great council. He named Rhaenyra his heir when she was a child and before Aegon was born. He made lords swear to her. Lords that in the following decades got old and died themselves, leaving new lords who had not sworn that oath. He calls all of the lords together, tells them who to vote for, and makes them swear publicly right there. That way there is no disagreement about who is the heir. Also once he gets so sick that he is bedridden, he could abdicate and watch his successor crowned.

    In the books, it's sort of hinted that Rhaenys's marriage to Corlys was only possible because Rhaenys asked her father when the two of them were at sea (ie away from court & the King). I always thought that was coz Rhaenys didn't think King Jaehaerys would agree to the match and then was forced to, coz his son had already said it was cool and he didn't want to go back on Targ words. She is the only female dragonrider to ever marry outside the family (even if the Velaryon's are pretty much kin). (I think this is a major factor in why Helaena marry Aegon II (and why they so young when it happens). Helaena is riding dreamfyre by the time she is nine or ten, former mount of Rhaena, another Queen-who-never-was of times past. You can't then marry her to a Lannister without worrying about eventual dragonriding westorsi coming to revolt against you.) I think the only way Rhaenys marries Viserys is if King Jaehaerys or Queen Alyssanne get there first and propose the match, making the two of them fall in line behind Prince Aemon (skipping Balon all together, he's a good Hand after all) and securing the Targaryen name for future heirs. Then Daemon marries Aemma later than when she was wed in canon & hopefully this helps her produce more living heirs. Becoming a mother at 13/14 is no good for anyone

    Your take on Jaehaerys the Conciliator is unfair. When Maegor the Cruel died, the rightful heir to the throne was Princess Aerea Targaryen. She was the eldest daughter of Aegon the Uncrowned. Eldest grandchild of Aenys I and the named heir of Maegor. Yet the Lords chose to crown Jaehaerys. That is a precedent. If Jaehaerys had named Rhaenys his heir then that precedent would have been used to start a war.So he name Baelon. The second time, when Baelon died, he called the great council. Since it was the Lords who chose him, he let the lord's decide. They chose Viserys. To say Jaehaerys did not think about it is laughable, considering how good a King he was.
