Marriage Of Rhaegar & Elia | House Of The Dragon History & Lore | King Aerys ii Targaryen Mad King

Despite the rift between King Aerys ii Targaryen and his heir Prince Rhaegar, The Mad King still worked to find his son a worthy match. While Aerys first looked across the narrow sea for a bride of Valyrian decent, Aerys settled on the political sensible match of Elia Martell, the daughter of the Princess Of Dorne. The support of the Dornish is always a powerful too to have. But even though Aerys consented to the match, things were not as well as they seemed as the rift between father and son grew after the birth of Rhaegar's first child Princess Rhaenys.

Daemon and Rhaenyra line gave way to some of the best characters in the story line at this time and I’m not just talking about House Targaryen if you follow the bloodline.

[jaykitty]

Princess Rhaenys sounds like such a sweet girl! I hope she lives a long, healthy, and happy life!

[jeffcordova]

For the watch & the lord commander !!!!

“Rhaegar Fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly,
And Rhaegar died”
-Jorah Mormont to Dany..

I haven’t read the books but just hearing stories of how Aerys treated her & the kids..
Then what the Mountain Did during the Sack of kings Landing…
It’s tragic what happened to her & those babies …
Tywin got off light when he met his end
As did the Mountain
It seems like he was a good husband, I think he was then again I haven’t read the books ..

Please keep up the videos about the Reign of Aerys II

Long Live House Targaryen!!

[tatalsaba]

Didn't know that princess Rhaenys loved cats and had her own little Balerion, such a small detail, and yet so humanising.

[jamescourt]

I wanted justice for Elia and her children and I hope young griff is the actual Aegon Targaryen

[thepunisher]

Poor Ellia she was a dutiful wife but she still got thrown away for lyanna

[Khetsisal]

I love the irony that the most ideal version of a Targaryen can only produce plain dornish children and the exact opposite of an ideal Targaryen could produce ideal targaryen children.

[aegorbittersteel]

I'm late but 1st to take the Black for House Blackfyre 🗡
What a sweet husband

[deityjc]

Maybe it's no coincidence Targaryens began to see less silver hair and purple eyes after Daeron I married a Dornish princess, and his sons and grandsons following tended to marry outside the family (at least until Jaehaerys and Aerys).

[oriesheppard]

I firmly believe Elia supported Rhaegar taking a 2nd wife like Aegon the Conqueror, simply because she knew she couldn’t have more children.

[lukebarroso]

Rhaegar fumbled a beautiful dornish wife and ruined the dynasty. Can't get dumber than that.

RIP Elia and her children.

Side note: Y'all think Daeron II was ugly? I'd like to think he was just lackluster compared to Daemon but not bad looking.

[gregrobertson]

For the Watch. For House Blackwood. I think Rhaegar is a really interesting character. I love lore about him. Long elegant fingers might be the strangest compliment I have ever heard.

[kb]

Is Varys is all about the realm why did he help aerys so much rather than rhaegar?

[apacalypsagon]

Now the real question. Would house martell apply dornish law and push rhaeny's to be rhaegar's heir? I think they would. Man this tumultous time in westeros with plots and schemes makes me all the more grateful robert threw a literal hammer at it all and solved so many problems.
