Why Did Aegon the Conqueror Marry TWO Sisters? 🤯 #gameofthrones #houseofthedragon #hbo #hotd

Did you know Aegon the Conqueror didn’t just marry one sister but two? The Targaryens followed Valyrian customs, where polygamy was common, but Aegon's marriages weren’t just about tradition. They were a calculated strategy to secure his rule. Visenya, his eldest sister-wife, was a fearsome warrior cold, harsh, and politically astute. She fought beside Aegon in every battle and even founded the King’s Guard to ensure his protection. Rhaenys, on the other hand, was warm, playful, and beloved by the people. She was his favorite, and it’s said he spent ten nights with her for every one with Visenya. But was Visenya jealous? Some believe so. What’s certain is that she was fiercely protective of their family’s legacy. Their rivalry extended beyond their lifetimes, as their sons Aenys and Maegor inherited their mothers’ conflicts, leading to a brutal struggle for the Iron Throne. The Targaryen dynasty was built on love, war, and betrayal, forged in fire and blood. And it all started with these three.
