I wish we saw more of Jaeharyes GRRM originally wanted the show to cover the last years of his reign before the ascension of Viserys

[DngrDan]

Would really love to watch a series completely about Jaehaerys that centers around his entire life. He was the best king Westeros ever had and his wife Alysanne was the best queen. So many interesting things happened in his time including the reign of Maegor the Cruel and the Poor Fellow rebellion, Alysanne's tour of the North and her dragon's refusal to fly past the Wall, Princess Aerea's disappearance with Balerion and her return from Valyria with a Giger-like infestation of horrors in her body, etc

Fun fact, jahaerys when he sentenced a man to become a cripple he instead opted for a trial by combat and demanded which old man will fight him. Jahaerys who was turning 50 rather then naming a sworn sword to fight on his behalf decided to fight them himself and won

They put a piece of paper in a heavy ass chest that required 2 people to carry instead of just putting it in a small box in front of the King?

[yigitpala]

That is actually brilliant on Jaehaerys' part. Viserys would have had the Iron Throne anyway after the king's death and if he had rejected the succesion, there would be a war. Old man solved everything with a fucking vote.

[julianhensley]

Fun fact for all you Star Wars fans. Thats Michael Carter the man who played Bib Fortuna as Jaehaery’s.

This should have been done everytime there were any doubts about the succession when there was no obvious heir.

[queenxx]

Originally Rhaenys was not even considered but her son Leanor Jaeherys great grandchild and Viserys.Rhaenys was passed as heir when her uncle took title of heir when her father Crowned Prince died that is why she is called Queen who never was because she was never even considered

[Timurv]

We actually needed an anthology show about the history of house Targaryen. A season per king. I could watch it forever.

[concept]

The look on his face. Like he's not sure if this'll be enough to save this family.

[bricktam]

As much as I love Rhaenys, I think her Queenship would've caused problems of it's own. I sincerely doubt that the Targaryens would want to lose their name in the crown and I strongly doubt the Velaryons would just let it go had Laenor maintained the Targaryen name.

[TricksterPoi]

This is why he is called the Old King.

[ConnorLikesPie]

If only Viserys had followed this trend, this vote possibly prevented a war over succession

[mianhussain]

I wish we had seen more of Jaeharys rule. He was the most sane Targaryen lmao

[Termi]

I love the black and silver targaryen banner it looks so good 😍

[SpottedHares]

Something the Tv didn’t cover was that Jaehaerys and Alysanne second child Daenerys (the first died short after child birth) was a girl and a rift between the two that lasted years formed over the oldest child being past over as heir for being a girl. It was as issue with succession that kept coming up and each ruled kind of just keep kicking the can down the line.

[damondarden]

I would like to see a series about Jaehaerys rule since he was the longest king on iron throne for 55yrs and his dragon Vermithor a lot of history there

[jay-]

Rhaenys being considered is a show only thing it was between Laenor and Viserys.
Apparently Viserys won overwhelmingly despite Laenor/Rhaenys having house velaryon, celtigar, Dustin, Manderly, Blackwood, Stark,
and Baratheon support which makes you wonder how the voting was actually done

[Soboba.Fett]

Christopher Lee would have been a good choice

[Raj-qhic]

Rhaenys trust me you wouldn't want it anyway, the iron throne is always surrounded by drama backstabbers war discourse murder torture etc etc (and the etc is worse)
