The Real Reason Why Daemon Married Laena 😲

Did you know in the books Daemon married Laena to check his own fall in status? This short uses evidence from A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter.

A Game of Thrones theory explained, prepare for The Winds of Winter release date with a theory video of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series and something to think about while waiting for HBO's House of the Dragon Season 2.

Daemon getting bored and doing something else while causing problems seems to be his thing.

Bro: why don't the girls ever call you back??
My pickup line: "you are ALMOST as pretty as your brother"

[iliaponomarev]

Well, he basically did what every normal Targ man does: married his closest single female relative. What's the mystery about that?

OMFG not him killing her betrothed just to get her 😂😂 They should’ve kept THAT in the show

[ameliaflynnhayes]

I think he did care about her but in the beginning married her to get him into the line of succession

"We were happy enough!" - Daemon Targaryen

[Ruby.D]

Says "after killing HER betrothed" and shows Rhea, that has nothing to do with it and was dead for years 😅 Daemon pissed off the fiancé to the point the man was stupid enough to challenge him, and Daemon happily agreed to kill him.

She was cast perfectly. One of the most beautiful actresses on the whole show 😍

SEVEN HELLS IT'S VELARYON NOT VALERIAN

[mackenzieyoung]

"Almost as pretty as her brother" is nasty work😂

[danagorham]

Daemon was able to keep valerian blood flowing.. thats why he married her

[Emy-fvny]

He didn't kill his first wife in the book.

Mushroom being gay and no one bats an eye

[thalmoragent]

Killing her Betrothed surprisingly didn't end up as consequential as I figured it would be. It was the son of the Sealord of Braavos that Daemon killed

Bro has to change his channel's name into "Did you know in the books?"

[AlexRoivas]

In the books Daemon never kills his Royce wife because he was fighting in the Stepstones. He gets the news of her death and leaves in his Dragon to lay claim to her lands which house Aryn denys and gives to a Royce cousin.

[luckylink]

Daemon roasted her betrothed so hard in front everyone that the guy had no option but to fight and the dude still lost to Daemon 😂😂😂

[supernerdytalks]

Daemon did not kill his first wife in Book

[Prismalpink]

When the fanart characters are hotter than those in the live action 😂

If you really think about it, Daemon prevented further conflict between Viserys and Corlys because he wed his daughter and aided him at the Trident which is what Corlys requested from Viserys. His refusal caused tension between House Velaryon and Targaryen, an issue that could've escalated when the Hightowers usurped the throne
