Casa Targaryen, radice e ramo — da Aegon il Conquistatore e le sue sorelle-regine agli ultimi draghi dell'era. Ogni fascia è una generazione; la riga in monospazio sotto un nome ne dà i genitori, così la discendenza si legge scendendo la pagina. Gli anni di regno seguono i maestri.

Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Sposò wives and sisters, their names lost
He sold his estates in the Freehold and removed his household, five dragons, and his pride to a smoking rock in the narrow sea, on no firmer authority than a daughter's dream. Twelve years later Valyria burned, which rather settled the argument.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Sposò Gaemon the Glorious, her brother
Genitori Aenar Targaryen
Her book of prophecies, Signs and Portents, is said to survive on Dragonstone, though no maester of the Citadel has been permitted to weigh its accuracy. Foreseeing the Doom remains the single best-attested prediction in the history of the discipline.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Sposò Daenys the Dreamer, his sister
Genitori Aenar Targaryen
What precisely he did to earn the style 'Glorious' the chronicles neglect to say, which tells us something about the chronicles. He wed his sister after the Valyrian fashion and kept the line unbroken.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Sposò Elaena Targaryen, his sister; they ruled together
Genitori Gaemon Targaryen · Daenys Targaryen
He shared the lordship with his sister-wife, an arrangement later Targaryens would emulate with markedly less domestic tranquility.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lady of Dragonstone
Sposò Aegon Targaryen, her brother
Genitori Gaemon Targaryen · Daenys Targaryen
One of the few women to rule Dragonstone in her own right, jointly with her brother. The records grant her a name and little else, a courtesy the records extend to most women.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Genitori Aegon Targaryen · Elaena Targaryen
He died without issue and the seat passed to his brother. The first Maegon; the later Maegor would make the name no luckier.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Genitori Aegon Targaryen · Elaena Targaryen
Brother and heir to Maegon, and father of three lords in turn. The first bearer of a name that would end poorly on the Iron Throne, twice.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Genitori Aerys Targaryen
Eldest of the three sons of Aerys who held Dragonstone each in turn, the first two dying childless. The Citadel possesses no explanation, which has never stopped anyone from proposing one.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Genitori Aerys Targaryen
Second of the childless brothers. His tenure is a name in a list; history owes him nothing and has paid in full.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Genitori Aerys Targaryen
Last of the three brothers, and the only one to leave a son — a small mercy without which the Conquest, the realm, and this chronicle would all be considerably shorter.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Lord of Dragonstone
Sposò Lady Valaena Velaryon
Genitori Daemion Targaryen
Father of the Conqueror and his sister-queens, and — if the kitchen gossip of Dragonstone is admitted as evidence — of Orys Baratheon besides. He did not live to see his children remake a continent.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo Lady of Dragonstone
Sposò Aerion, Lord of Dragonstone
Herself half Targaryen through her mother, so the Conqueror's Valyrian blood ran thick on both sides. The Velaryons have never let anyone forget it.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Vhagar
Sposò il fratello Aegon I
Genitori Aerion Targaryen · Valaena Velaryon
Sorella maggiore e prima moglie di Aegon, guerriera che impugnava la lama valyriana Sorella Oscura e fondò la Guardia Reale. I maestri la dicono la più severa delle regine del Conquistatore.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 1–37 AC)
Drago Balerion il Terrore Nero
Sposò le sorelle Visenya e Rhaenys
Genitori Aerion Targaryen · Valaena Velaryon
Con le sorelle e tre draghi forgiò i Sette Regni in uno solo e innalzò il Trono di Spade dalle spade dei nemici caduti. Sei regni prese col fuoco; solo Dorne lo sfidò.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B · AGOT
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Meraxes
Sposò il fratello Aegon I
Genitori Aerion Targaryen · Valaena Velaryon
Sorella minore e seconda moglie di Aegon, la più amata delle tre e protettrice dei cantori. Lei e Meraxes andarono perdute sopra Dorne quando un dardo di scorpione strappò il suo drago dal cielo.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 37–42 AC)
Drago Quicksilver
Sposò Alyssa Velaryon
Figlio mite di Aegon da Rhaenys, mal adatto a un reame che ancora sapeva di fuoco di drago. Il suo breve regno fu turbato dalla ribellione e dalla crescente furia della Fede.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 42–48 AC)
Drago Balerion
Sposò sei mogli, le Spose Nere
Figlio di Aegon da Visenya, detto il Crudele a ragione — mosse guerra alla Fede Militante e prese sei mogli senza prole vivente. Fu trovato morto sul Trono di Spade stesso, le sue lame nella carne.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Drago Dreamfyre
Sposò Aegon the Uncrowned, her brother; Maegor I, her uncle; Androw Farman
Genitori Aenys I
Twice a queen and thrice a widow-maker's widow: her brother slain by their uncle, her uncle dead on his throne, her third husband a poisoner she fed to her dragon's namesake isle. She ended her days at Harrenhal, which she called a fitting home for grief.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo claimant King of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Quicksilver
Sposò Rhaena Targaryen, his sister
Genitori Aenys I
Rightful heir by any law of succession then written, he raised his banner against his uncle and met Balerion above the Gods Eye. Quicksilver was a quarter the Black Dread's size, a ratio the battle faithfully reproduced.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Sposò unwed
Genitori Aenys I
Kept at court as his uncle Maegor's squire, which is to say his hostage. When his mother fled to raise the realm against the king, the boy paid the price of her courage; Tyanna's questioners took nine days about it.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 48–103 AC)
Drago Vermithor
Sposò la sorella Alysanne
Genitori Aenys I
Il Conciliatore, detto il Vecchio Re, che regnò cinquantacinque anni — più di ogni Targaryen — e diede al reame legge, strade e pace con la Fede. La Cittadella lo giudica il più grande della sua stirpe.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B · AGOT
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Silverwing
Sposò il fratello Jaehaerys I
Genitori Aenys I
La Buona Regina, sorella e moglie di Jaehaerys, amata per la saggezza e la cura del popolino. Volò su Silverwing fino alla Barriera e ottenne piccole grazie che i re avevano a lungo negato.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Genitori Aenys I
The last child of Aenys and Alyssa, dead in infancy and remembered chiefly by completists. This chronicle is nothing if not complete.
Fonti F&B
Drago Balerion the Black Dread (claimed, unwisely)
Genitori Aegon Targaryen · Rhaena Targaryen
Once heir to the Iron Throne, she claimed the Black Dread at thirteen and vanished for a year, returning fevered from — Septon Barth believed — Valyria itself. What died at Dragonstone was recorded by the only man brave enough to attend it, and his account is not read for pleasure.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Septa of Oldtown
Genitori Aegon Targaryen · Rhaena Targaryen
Aerea's twin, given to the Faith as an infant, or possibly the twin swapped for Aerea — their mother alone knew and declined to say. She lived out her days quietly in the Starry Sept, which for a woman of this family constitutes a triumph.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The Old King's firstborn, come too soon and gone in three days. The maesters who count thirteen children of Jaehaerys begin their count in sorrow.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The first princess of her name, a merry child carried off by the Shivers at seven. Two later Daeneryses would fare better, though one of them is still being written.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Drago Caraxes
Sposò Jocelyn Baratheon
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
Heir apparent for near forty years, slain on Tarth by a Myrish crossbow bolt meant for another man. His death posed the question — his daughter or his brother? — that the Old King answered one way, the Great Council another, and the Dance answered in fire.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Drago Vhagar
Sposò la sorella Alyssa
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
Detto il Prode, secondo figlio di Jaehaerys e Alysanne e cavaliere della vecchia Vhagar, nominato erede dopo la morte del fratello Aemon. Un ventre scoppiato lo prese prima che potesse ereditare, e la successione proseguì inquieta.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Meleys
Sposò il fratello Baelon
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
Figlia di Jaehaerys e Alysanne, sposata al fratello Baelon e madre di Viserys e Daemon. Morì giovane, e la sua perdita afflisse gravemente il Vecchio Re.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Septa
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
Given to the Faith, she became the family's peacemaker and died of greyscale contracted nursing its victims. Sanctity is rare enough in this house to deserve a line of its own.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Archmaester of the Citadel, ring, rod and mask of yellow gold
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The only dragon ever to earn an archmaester's mask, he preferred equations to courtiers and told his father as much. The Citadel notes with quiet satisfaction that the family's sole maester is also its least troublesome member.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Sposò Lord Rodrik Arryn
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
Timid, sweet, and frightened of nearly everything, she died at eighteen birthing the daughter who would be Viserys I's first queen. Through gentle Daella, then, runs the line to Rhaenyra — history has a taste for such ironies.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The wild daughter, caught at scandal, sent to the silent sisters, and gone over the wall to Lys before her vows. She ended a wealthy woman keeping a famous pleasure house in Volantis, and when invited home replied that she was home — one rather admires her.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The beauty of the brood, promised to old Lord Manderly and determined to wed a prince instead. A midnight horse race through King's Landing, taken drunk, ended the question at seventeen.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The eleventh child, dead within the year. The queen was forty-seven; the maesters had counseled against further children, and were not thanked for it.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The twelfth child, who did not see his second year. His name is preserved here so that somewhere, at least, it is preserved.
Fonti F&B
Genitori Jaehaerys I · Alysanne
The last and simplest of the thirteen, her mother's shadow and comfort. Seduced and abandoned by a wandering singer, she drowned herself in Blackwater Bay; the court was told a summer fever, and the queen never recovered from the truth.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Meleys, the Red Queen
Sposò Lord Corlys Velaryon, the Sea Snake
Genitori Aemon Targaryen
Passed over for the throne twice — once by her grandfather, once by the lords at Harrenhal — for the grave defect of her sex. She died at Rook's Rest at five-and-fifty, meeting two dragons alone, and no one who watched called her the lesser claimant again.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 103–129 AC)
Drago Balerion (in gioventù)
Sposò Aemma Arryn, poi Alicent Hightower
L’ultimo cavaliere di Balerion il Terrore Nero e un re pacifico che presiedette al mezzogiorno dorato della dinastia. La sua incapacità di stabilire la successione tra la figlia e i figli accese il fuoco che seguì.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Prince of the City; King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea; Prince consort
Drago Caraxes, il Verme di Sangue
Sposò infine, la nipote Rhaenyra
Il Principe Canaglia, irrequieto e pericoloso, cavaliere di Caraxes e signore di Sorella Oscura; fratello del re e, alla fine, marito della propria nipote. Nessun uomo del reame era più temuto con la lama.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
The birth that killed his mother Alyssa, and a life that did not outlast the mourning. Baelon never wed again.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Sposò Viserys I
Genitori Daella Targaryen
Daella's daughter, wed at eleven, dead in the birthing bed at three-and-twenty by a decision the king made for her. Her one surviving child was Rhaenyra, whom the realm would learn to reckon with.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Sposò Viserys I
Ser Otto's daughter, who read to the Old King through his failing years and wed his heir's heir within two years of Aemma's grave being closed. Four children, one crown wrongly or rightly seized for her son, and a war named for a dance later, she died of the Winter Fever asking to see children the war had already spent.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Vhagar
Sposò Daemon Targaryen
Genitori Rhaenys Targaryen
The Sea Snake's daughter, offered to King Viserys as a bride and passed over for Alicent, she claimed instead the oldest dragon alive and, in time, the most dangerous prince. She died of a childbed gone wrong at Driftmark; the tale that she rose from her deathbed to die beside Vhagar is precisely the sort her family favors, which does not make it false.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Ser
Drago Seasmoke
Sposò Rhaenyra Targaryen
Genitori Rhaenys Targaryen
Rhaenys's son, wed to Rhaenyra to bind the two claims the Great Council had sundered, his affections engaged, notoriously, elsewhere. His friend Ser Qarl Correy put a blade in him at a fair in Spicetown over a quarrel no two accounts agree on; the three sons of his marriage bore his name, and the court wits observed that they bore little else of his.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Princess of Dragonstone; queen by her partisans' reckoning (129–130 AC)
Drago Syrax
Sposò Laenor Velaryon, poi lo zio Daemon
Genitori Viserys I · Aemma Arryn
Nominata erede dal padre e incoronata su Roccia del Drago, tenne Approdo del Re per mezzo anno nella guerra che gli uomini chiamano la Danza dei Draghi. I registri ancora litigano se chiamarla regina.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Genitori Viserys I · Aemma Arryn
The son cut from Aemma at his father's word, he outlived his mother by a single day. Prince Daemon's cup-jape about an heir for a day cost him the succession and fixed it upon Rhaenyra — no Targaryen ever moved history further by leaving it faster.
Fonti F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 129–131 AC)
Drago Sunfyre il Dorato
Sposò la sorella Helaena
Genitori Viserys I · Alicent Hightower
Figlio maggiore di Viserys, incoronato dai verdi contro la pretesa della sorella; la sua guerra per il trono quasi pose fine ai draghi. Vinse la Danza e perse il futuro.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Dreamfyre
Sposò il fratello Aegon II
Genitori Viserys I · Alicent Hightower
Figlia di Viserys e Alicent, sposata al fratello Aegon II e madre dei suoi eredi; una dolce sognatrice che le crudeltà della guerra spezzarono.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Prince Regent (briefly)
Drago Vhagar
Sposò unwed; kept company with Alys Rivers
Genitori Viserys I · Alicent Hightower
Il più fiero dei figli di Alicent, che rivendicò la mostruosa Vhagar da ragazzo e bruciò le Terre dei Fiumi da uomo. Lui e Daemon caddero insieme nel fuoco sopra l’Occhio degli Dèi.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Tessarion, the Blue Queen
Sposò unwed
Genitori Viserys I · Alicent Hightower
The gentlest of Alicent's sons, which the burning of Bitterbridge suggests was a low bar. He died at sixteen in the night chaos of Second Tumbleton, his body never surely identified among the burned, a detail that bred pretenders for a generation.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Moondancer
Sposò Ser Alyn Velaryon, Lord of the Tides
Genitori Daemon · Laena Velaryon
Daemon's daughter by Laena Velaryon, who flew a half-grown dragon against Sunfyre to cover Dragonstone's escape and walked away from the wreck scarred and unrepentant. She wed the Sea Snake's heir and gave the regency councils no end of grief, all of it deserved.
Fonti F&B
Drago Morning
Sposò Ser Corwyn Corbray; Garmund Hightower
Genitori Daemon · Laena Velaryon
Baela's twin, born in Pentos, whose egg finally hatched after the Dance had killed nearly every other dragon — Morning, the last new hope of her kind. Six daughters by her second husband carried the blood into the Reach.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Drago Vermax
Sposò betrothed to Baela Targaryen
Genitori Rhaenyra · Laenor Velaryon
Rhaenyra's heir, whose embassy won the North and the Vale for his mother while his uncles won only battles. He fell at the Gullet leading from the front, brown-haired like Ser Harwin Strong and brave like nobody's business — the maesters may draw their own conclusions, as they always have.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Drago Arrax
Sposò betrothed to Rhaena Targaryen
Genitori Rhaenyra · Laenor Velaryon
Sent to Storm's End as an envoy at fourteen and chased into the storm by his uncle on a dragon five times Arrax's size. His death was the war's point of no return; Aemond claimed he meant only to frighten the boy, and Vhagar was not consulted.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone (briefly)
Drago Tyraxes
Genitori Rhaenyra · Laenor Velaryon
Thirteen years old when King's Landing fell apart around him, he tried to fly a half-wild dragon not his own to save the others from the Dragonpit mob. He fell from Syrax's back over Flea Bottom; courage and sense ripen at different rates.
Fonti F&B
Born a moon too soon on Dragonstone, in the very hour her mother learned of her half-brother's coronation, and born dead and malformed. Rhaenyra laid the child at the greens' feet; by some accountings she was the Dance's first casualty, dead before the first banner rose.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Drago Shrykos (hatchling)
Six years old when the men called Blood and Cheese made his mother choose, then took his head regardless of her answer. Whatever else is said of the Dance, it was paid for in coin like this.
Fonti F&B
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Drago Morghul (hatchling)
Sposò Aegon III, her cousin
Simple, sweet, and married at ten to the boy whose mother her father had fed to a dragon — the peace of the realm resting on two traumatized children. She went from a window of Maegor's Holdfast like her mother before her, and whether she jumped or was helped remains one of the regency's uglier questions.
Fonti F&B
The son his mother named to die and could not save by naming. Smuggled toward Oldtown, he was torn apart — or crushed, the accounts differ — by a mob at Bitterbridge at the age of three; the town paid for it later, which mended nothing.

Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 131–157 AC)
Drago Stormcloud (perduto da fanciullo)
Sposò Jaehaera, poi Daenaera Velaryon
Figlio di Rhaenyra e Daemon, salito al trono da fanciullo tormentato dopo aver visto la madre divorata da un drago. Sotto di lui gli ultimi draghi si estinsero e morirono.
Fonti F&B · TWOIAF
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 171–172 AC)
Sposò Larra Rogare
Figlio minore di Rhaenyra e Daemon, il più abile Primo Cavaliere che tre re abbiano mai avuto, che governò in tutto tranne che nel nome per anni prima di cingere lui stesso la corona per un solo anno.
Fonti TWOIAF · F&B
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 157–161 AC)
Sposò unwed
Genitori Aegon III
Un ragazzo di quattordici anni che conquistò Dorne con la spada e la penna — e non poté tenerla. Morì nelle sabbie dorniane a diciotto anni, la sua conquista già disfatta.
Fonti TWOIAF · AGOT
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 161–171 AC); septon
Sposò la sorella Daena (ripudiata)
Genitori Aegon III
Un re-septon di fama pietosa che camminò scalzo fino a Dorne per fare la pace e si consumò nei digiuni. Santo e mezzo folle, ripudiò la sorella-moglie e votò i suoi giorni alla preghiera.
Fonti TWOIAF · AGOT
Sposò Baelor I, her brother (in name only)
Genitori Aegon III
Wife to a king who would not touch her and prisoner of the Maidenvault he built to prove it, she escaped its walls repeatedly and its purpose once, spectacularly. The son she bore in 170 AC she named Daemon, and he would cost the realm more than all her defiances together.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Septa
Genitori Aegon III
The middle sister of the Maidenvault, who answered captivity with piety and took vows as a septa upon her release. Of the three sisters she alone gave history no trouble, and history has repaid her with near-total silence.
Fonti TWOIAF
Sposò Ossifer Plumm; Ronnel Penrose; Ser Michael Manwoody
Genitori Aegon III
Youngest of the Maidenvault sisters, wed thrice for other people's convenience, she ran her second husband's counting-house, some say the realm's, and loved only Alyn Velaryon, to whom she bore two bastards. The cleverest financial mind of her generation spent it doing sums under other men's names.

Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 172–184 AC)
Sposò la sorella Naerys

Titolo Ser; Lord Commander of the Kingsguard
Sposò none; his vows, and perhaps his heart, forbade it

Fonti TWOIAF · AGOT · ASOS
Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms

Sorella e moglie riluttante di Aegon IV, pia e fragile, madre di Daeron II; il suo nome è legato nella canzone al fratello, il Cavaliere Drago.
Fonti TWOIAF · ASOS
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 184–209 AC)
Sposò Myriah Martell
Il Buono, che fece infine entrare Dorne nel reame per matrimonio anziché per guerra. La diceria, sparsa dal padre stesso, sussurrava che fosse figlio del Cavaliere Drago e non un vero drago — una calunnia che i Blackfyre avrebbero issato a stendardo.
Fonti TWOIAF · THK · AGOT
Titolo Princess consort of Dorne
Sposò Maron Martell, Prince of Dorne
Her marriage in 187 AC sealed Dorne to the Iron Throne, whatever her heart had wanted — and the songs insist it wanted Daemon Blackfyre. She is said to have counseled mercy for Daemon's captive sons, proving grace survives even a political wedding.

Sposò Rohanne di Tyrosh
Genitori Aegon IV · Daena Targaryen
Figlio bastardo di Aegon IV, cui fu donata la spada ancestrale Fuoconero e che fu legittimato sul letto di morte del padre. Sollevò il drago nero in ribellione e cadde con i suoi figli gemelli sul Campo dell’Erba Rossa.

Titolo Ser; founder and captain-general of the Golden Company
Sposò Calla Blackfyre (see the Blackfyre roll)
Genitori Aegon IV

Titolo Hand of the King; Lord Commander of the Night's Watch
Sposò none wed; Shiera Seastar shared his bed and refused his hand
Genitori Aegon IV
Il bastardo albino di Aegon, avuto da una Blackwood — stregone, capo delle spie e Primo Cavaliere, impugnatore di Sorella Oscura. Col tempo prese il nero e svanì oltre la Barriera, e il popolo libero ne racconta storie ancora più strane.
Fonti TWOIAF · TMK · ADWD
Sposò none; she collected proposals as other women collect jewels
Genitori Aegon IV
Last and loveliest of the Great Bastards, one eye green and one blue, learned in tongues and — the credulous add — in darker arts involving baths of blood. Bittersteel and Bloodraven both wanted her; she took the one as a lover and the other's war as an entertainment, and outfoxed history itself by escaping its notice.
Fonti TWOIAF · TMK
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone; Hand of the King
Sposò Jena Dondarrion
Genitori Daeron II
The finest man of his line, who won the Redgrass Field with a hammer-stroke and died at Ashford of his own brother's mace, defending a hedge knight in a trial of seven. Maekar's blow was accidental; the realm's loss was not, and every misery of the next fifty years may be traced to that cracked helm.

Fonti TWOIAF · TMK
Sposò Alys Arryn
Genitori Daeron II
Gentle and mad in equal measure, given to dancing alone through the Red Keep unclothed, he was loved and pitied and never crowned. He choked on a lamprey pie at a feast, a death the family's enemies found funnier than his children did.
Fonti TWOIAF · TMK
Titolo King of the Seven Kingdoms (r. 221–233 AC)
Sposò Dyanna Dayne
Genitori Daeron II
Un guerriero severo e capace, quartogenito e a lungo messo in ombra, che venne tardi al trono e morì sotto le mura di un castello ribelle. Padre del re Improbabile e di un maestro che sarebbe sopravvissuto a tutti loro.
Fonti TWOIAF · THK · TSS
Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Sposò Kiera of Tyrosh
Genitori Baelor Targaryen
Breakspear's heir, a promising shadow of a great father, carried off by the Great Spring Sickness within the year. His twin sons by Kiera were born dead or died in the cradle, and so Baelor's whole line went into the fire-pits of 209.
Fonti TWOIAF · THK
Genitori Baelor Targaryen
Baelor's second son, dead of the same plague in the same terrible spring as his brother. The epithet the court gave him was a jest; the Stranger, as usual, laughed last.

Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Sposò Aelora Targaryen, his twin sister
Genitori Rhaegel Targaryen
Named heir upon his father's death, he died at his own sister-wife's hand in a mishap so strange the chronicles agree only on calling it strange. The Citadel's copies decline to particularize, which has never once prevented speculation.
Fonti TWOIAF
Titolo Princess of Dragonstone, heir to the Iron Throne
Sposò Aelor Targaryen, her twin
Genitori Rhaegel Targaryen
Made heir after the accident that killed her twin at her own hands, she was set upon at a masked ball by three men remembered as the Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig, and her mind did not survive what her body did. She took her own life, and the crown passed on to Maekar's line.
Fonti TWOIAF
Sposò Aerion Brightflame, her cousin
Genitori Rhaegel Targaryen
Rhaegel's younger daughter, wed to the family's monster and mother of the babe Maegor whom the Great Council of 233 declined to crown. Of her feelings on any of this the record preserves, characteristically, nothing.
Fonti TWOIAF
Sposò Kiera of Tyrosh, widow of his cousin Valarr
Genitori Maekar I
Maekar's eldest, who drank, he confessed, to drown the prophetic dreams — including one of a dragon falling dead at Ashford that came true enough to unsettle. He wed his dead cousin's widow, fathered a daughter, and died of a pox got from a camp follower before his father's crown could ever have burdened him.
Fonti TWOIAF · THK
Titolo Prince of the blood
Sposò Daenora Targaryen, his cousin
Genitori Maekar I
He broke a puppeteer's fingers for staging a dragon's death, was exiled to Lys for worse, and ended by drinking wildfire in the certainty it would make him a dragon. It made him a corpse, resolving at a stroke a succession problem and a moral one.

Titolo Maester of the Citadel; sworn brother of the Night's Watch at Castle Black
Sposò none; chain and cloak both forbid it

Sposò Betha Blackwood
Genitori Maekar I
Il quarto figlio di un quarto figlio, che fece da scudiero a un cavaliere errante e salì al trono contro ogni previsione — un re che amava il popolino e mosse guerra ai propri stessi signori per amor suo. Perì nel fuoco a Summerhall, inseguendo il sogno di ridestare i draghi.

Genitori Maekar I
Elder of Maekar's two daughters, of whom the chronicles preserve a name and an existence. Egg spoke of his sisters with affection, which is more testimony than most princesses receive.

Genitori Maekar I
Maekar's younger daughter, who — her brother once let slip — put a love potion in his drink as a girl. History records the prank and forgets the woman; the Citadel apologizes for its predecessors.

Genitori Daeron Targaryen
Daeron's only child, sweet and simple-minded, passed over without debate by the Great Council of 233. She appears in history precisely once, to be set aside, and this entry is her whole monument.
Fonti TWOIAF
Genitori Aerion Targaryen · Daenora Targaryen
An infant when the Great Council passed him over — the lords wanting no babe on the throne, and wanting Aerion's blood on it rather less. What became of the boy afterward no chronicle says, a silence certain pretender-fanciers have found roomy enough to build in.

Erede di Aegon V, che rinunciò al proprio diritto alla corona per sposare Jenny di Vecchie Pietre per amore. Morì col padre tra le fiamme di Summerhall.

Sposò la sorella Shaera
Genitori Aegon V
Un re fragile e di breve vita, figlio di Aegon V, che sposò la sorella Shaera e risanò alcune delle ferite lasciate da Summerhall. Dal suo breve regno vennero gli ultimi re della stirpe del drago.

Titolo Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
Sposò Jaehaerys II, her brother
Genitori Aegon V
Betrothed to Luthor Tyrell, heir to Highgarden, and having none of it, she eloped with her own brother at fourteen while their parents' backs were turned. Aegon the Unlikely had married for love and forbidden his children the same; they took, one by one, the precedent over the instruction.

Sposò betrothed to Olenna Redwyne; he declined to proceed
Genitori Aegon V
He refused his Redwyne match — to the later Queen of Thorns' loudly professed relief — and kept instead the company of his sworn shield, Ser Jeremy Norridge. He died leading men against the rising of the outlaw styled the Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig, and left no issue.

Sposò Ormund Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End
Genitori Aegon V
Sent to Storm's End as a cupbearer to soothe the fury of her brother Duncan's broken betrothal, she was wed to its lord and bore him Steffon. Through quiet Rhaelle, every Baratheon claim to the Iron Throne is a Targaryen claim wearing antlers.

Sposò la sorella Rhaella
Genitori Jaehaerys II · Shaera Targaryen
Il cui regno inacidì da luminosa promessa a crudeltà e fuoco, finché il suo stesso scudo giurato non lo abbatté. Con lui si chiusero i tre secoli della dinastia sul Trono di Spade.

Genitori Jaehaerys II · Shaera Targaryen
Sorella e moglie di Aerys, che sopportò la sua follia e gli diede tre figli vivi. Morì a Roccia del Drago dando la vita all’ultimo di essi, mentre il reame cadeva nelle mani degli usurpatori.

Titolo Prince of Dragonstone
Sposò Elia Martell di Dorne
Un arpista malinconico e un cavaliere senza pari, amato dal reame, tenuto da molti per il migliore re che Westeros non abbia mai avuto. La sua fuga con Lyanna Stark accese la guerra che rovesciò la sua casa, e cadde sotto il martello di Robert Baratheon al Tridente.

The first daughter of Aerys and Rhaella, born dead. With her began the procession of small coffins that the king would come to blame on every hand but the gods'.
Fonti TWOIAF
The second son, given half a year of the world. The king's suspicions had not yet curdled to cruelty; grief, that once, was still permitted to be only grief.
Fonti TWOIAF
Born two moons too soon and gone within the year, between a stillbirth and a namesake who fared no better. The name Aegon has crowned five kings; it has buried far more boys.
Fonti TWOIAF
His death the king laid first upon a wet nurse, whom he beheaded, and then upon his own mistress, whom he used worse. Thereafter Aerys kept to his queen alone at a septon's urging, and of that grim penance the realm got Viserys.

Titolo Lord of Storm's End; first Hand of the King
Sposò Argella Durrandon
Rumored bastard of Lord Aerion and thus half-brother to the Conqueror, he slew the last Storm King, wed his daughter, and took the dead man's words, sigil, and seat for a house of his own. Aegon never confirmed the rumor and never punished it, which most maesters read as confirmation with better manners.

Titolo Lord Plumm
Genitori Elaena Targaryen
Elaena's son of record by old Lord Ossifer Plumm, who — the japes insist — died of the sight of his bride on the wedding night, leaving the arithmetic of conception to King Aegon IV. The brown-skinned sellsword Ben Plumm of the Second Sons claims descent, and claims his drop of dragon blood soothes dragons; the dragons have not yet contradicted him.

Genitori Elaena Targaryen
Elaena's son by Alyn Velaryon, the great love she was never permitted to marry. The Oakenfist's bastards were raised in comfort and left small mark on the chronicles, which by this family's standard is a blessing.

Sposò Cassana Estermont
Genitori Rhaelle Targaryen
Rhaelle's son and Aerys's cousin, drowned with his lady in Shipbreaker Bay while his boys watched from the castle walls, returning from a fruitless errand to find their king a bride of old Valyrian blood. His son Robert would press the Targaryen blood in his veins as a claim while breaking the Targaryen line that gave it — history enjoys a paradox.

The legitimized line of Daemon Blackfyre, five rebellions' worth of pretenders across five generations, extinguished in the male line — Maester Aemon's careful phrase — with Maelys the Monstrous on the Stepstones in 260 AC. Their full roll, red grass and golden skulls and all, is chronicled apart; see the Blackfyre tree.

Dove i registri litigano, si contraddicono o tacciono, questa cronaca mette per iscritto gli argomenti anziché risolvere per te ciò che i testi lasciano aperto.
The paternity of Daeron II: Aegon IV on his deathbed hinted his heir was the Dragonknight's son, not his own. No proof was ever offered, the accusation flattering neither the accuser's honor nor his queen's, yet it armed Daemon Blackfyre's cause and five rebellions besides. The Citadel observes that Daeron's conduct was his mother's and his uncle's in every particular that mattered, whichever man supplied the seed.
Whether Orys Baratheon was truly Lord Aerion's bastard, and every stag-crowned claim since therefore doubly dragon-blooded. Aegon the Conqueror neither owned nor denied it; his silence has kept the question alive for three hundred years.
The paternity of Rhaenyra's three elder sons, brown of hair in a family of silver: Velaryon by law, Strong by rumor, and the rumor cost a tongue or two before it cost a war. Grand Maester Mellos held that hair proves little; Vaemond Velaryon held otherwise, briefly.
Whether the babe presented to Robert Baratheon in a crimson cloak was Prince Aegon at all. The Golden Company now marches for a young man who says it was not; Lord Varys is curiously adjacent to every version of the tale, and the Citadel reserves judgment until a dragon does.
The paternity of Viserys Plumm, got — the court japed — either by an ancient husband dead on his wedding night or by King Aegon IV, who was demonstrably alive. The Plumms of the westerlands and a certain sellsword captain in Meereen have dined on the ambiguity ever since.
The claimants of the Great Council of 101 included, among the nine lesser candidates, descendants of Princess Saera by her Volantene patrons. Saera herself declined to press a claim, reportedly amused; her line's whereabouts today the Citadel cannot state.
Why Lords Aelyx, Baelon, and Daemion each held Dragonstone in turn and died — the first two childless — the pre-Conquest records do not say, having largely burned with Valyria's other certainties. Where records are silent, maesters multiply.
The outlaws styled the Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig appear twice in the annals a generation apart: assaulting Princess Aelora at a masked ball, and slain fighting Prince Daeron in 251 AC. Whether these were the same men grown old in infamy, sons trading on the style, or a scribe's contamination of one tale by another, the maesters dispute with more enthusiasm than evidence.
What Brynden Rivers became beyond the Wall after 252 AC. The wildlings tell of a sorcerer in a hollow hill wearing weirwood pale and red; the Citadel files this among singers' inventions, though it files it carefully.
What passed in the Red Mountains of Dorne in 283 AC, where Lord Eddard Stark found his sister dying and left three Kingsguard buried — knights who by every oath should have stood beside their king, or his heirs, and stood instead by a tower the smallfolk name Joy. The records are silent, Lord Eddard was silenter, and the Citadel merely notes that silence, too, is a kind of testimony.

Per il conto del reame, no — i romanzi presentano Jon come il figlio bastardo di Eddard Stark, e Lord Eddard non ne nominò mai la madre. I lettori sostengono da tempo una discendenza nascosta da Lyanna Stark e Rhaegar Targaryen, ma i romanzi non l'hanno confermata, perciò la cronaca tiene questa lettura dietro il velo antispoiler anziché affermarla come fatto.
Nel finale televisivo, Jon si rivela figlio di Rhaegar Targaryen, il che farebbe di Daenerys sua zia — Rhaegar e Daenerys essendo fratello e sorella, figli di Aerys II. Nei romanzi quella rivelazione non è avvenuta; lì Jon è il bastardo di Ned Stark, e qualsiasi parentela Targaryen con Daenerys resta una lettura non confermata anziché un fatto stabilito.
Aegon I sposò entrambe le sorelle secondo l'usanza valyriana: Visenya, la maggiore, guerriera che portava la spada Sorella Oscura e cavalcava Vhagar; e Rhaenys, la minore e la più amata, che cavalcava Meraxes. I suoi eredi vennero da entrambe — Maegor I da Visenya, e re Aenys I da Rhaenys.
I Blackfyre discendono da Daemon Blackfyre, figlio bastardo del re Aegon IV l'Indegno, legittimato sul letto di morte del re e dotato della spada valyriana ancestrale Fuoconero. La sua ribellione contro il fratellastro Daeron II — la prima delle ribellioni Blackfyre — fu schiacciata al Campo dell'Erba Rossa, ma la causa gli sopravvisse oltre il mare stretto.
