What If Rhaenyra Ran Away With Criston Cole? (House Of The Dragon)

- Rhaenyra and Criston aren't your typical fairytale pairing. In most stories the knight gets the princess and they ride into the sunset to live happily ever after. The house of the dragon and its heir had other plans though. But what if things went differently and knight ran away with the princess?

I'm fascinated by the possibility that after Rhaenyra runs away Aegon's inspired to do the same thing. In contrast to the usual problem of heirs struggling to take the throne heirs keep running away from it. If Aemond isn't born then Helaena would presumably be the (rather indifferent) heir. I fear this would probably end in a Daemon/Helaena marriage which probably wouldn't be fun for her. Still probably better than what she got in cannon.
I have to say it’s kinda hilarious to think of Helaena sitting on the Iron Throne and rambling on about cryptic whimsical bullshit while tending to court disputes.
Pretty sure Allicent and even Otto wod rather stab themselves on the Iron Throne than agree to let Daemon marry Helaena
@@ifeeldead463 🤣lol
I don't think she would leave her dragon. I can see a situation like prince of Pentos offering much an more for a dragon on their side.
Or the Sealord of Braavos, or Volantis, maybe even the Triarchy(which would be really ironic.)
That’s show bs dragons and riders are for life
@@dellavonta187exactly. Same way rhaeghal and drogon just magically want jon to be a rider as well. Just messed all the lore up
What if Viserys married Rhaenys instead of Aemma?
Ooh really good
They would never be able to ever settle down. The crown would hunt Criston to the edge of the world for oathbreaking and “stealing” the heir apparent. He wouldn’t last a year, but it’s debatable if Rhaenyra would willingly return. Also Rhaenyra would never desert Syrax, that’s pretty much her only bargaining chip and strongest weapons for all the shit they’d undoubtably face. A dragon riding Targaryen would be accepted and sheltered by any powerful faction in Essos, if not to give them an edge.
It would be able to maybe have a slight chance of pretending to be a wild dragon who moved to essos, that would probably be a good idea to hide her over there
In my head canon of this timeline, Rhaenyra gets Cristen to teach her to fight since they are on the run in a cruel world, but Rhaenyra plans for this when grabbing her inheritance-to-go taking jewels for her training knowing with her slight frame fight like a knight ain't gonna cut it paying for info about any female assassin's and sell sword ever reminding Kristen about her Tagarian history of Aegon's first Queen and wife( brain freeze can't remember her name) was a warrior of renowned who actually started the King's Guard
It’s Visenya
Rhaenyra would never be satisfied with that life. Just like with what happened to Daemon. A part of her would always be drawn towards Westeros.
Y’all really think Daemon wouldn’t hunt her down?
Why would he? She would have no more power of claim he wouldn’t want anything to do with her
@@vvHun43rd Daemon didn't marry Rhaenyra for power. In the books it's rumored that he did but it's clear in the show they loved each other
Daemon definitely wouldn’t have let any of this fly. He was obsessed with her.
I totally think he would. Not out of love per se, but a Targaryen running off with a Kingsguard commoner...ooof.
A Kingsguard breaking their oath is grounds for death/gelding. Stealing away the king's firstborn daughter/heir would be compounding that. Criston would be marked for death and have assassins following everywhere, like Viserys the Beggar King's fears made real.
you've become one of my absolute favorite youtubers. keep up the good work, man! I love hearing your takes
Literally same!
I'd love to see some "What If" videos based on Westerosi rumors, as in assuming the rumors are true. For instance, What if Jon Snow is truly Ned Stark's bastard?
The Crown will go after Cole hard. A kingsguard basically 'kidnapping' a princess...nay..not just a princess, but the heir to the crown at that. This is why I was thinking Criston was NUTS to even propose this. They'd hunt him down. Sure, Rhaenyra may be able to push back with Syrax but they will be on the run for as long as they live. Obviously Aegon would be the heir after this but Viserys would send people to go after them. Daemon might even volunteer for this hunt since he's less keen on having Aegon (a Hightower) on the crown.
i think at one point syrax will sense rhaenyra and try to find and reunite with her rider and viserys could predict such action from syrax and get ready to follow syrax with vermithor
video idea : what if viserys and emma claim vermithor and silverwing (both have a healtier life because of the dragon bonds and emma give birth baelon without death of her son or herself and viserys also will be less effected from wounds come from throne )
I kind of love the idea of Viserys claiming Vermithor to search for Rhaenyra!! Especially since he rode Balerion 3 times around Kings Landing and that was it 😂 Put some fire into Viserys, him & Daemon get closer while on their searches for Rhaenyra, & then eventually she is found & comes back because the moment she sees & huge Syrax again she realizes she can’t turn her back on her Targaryen Legacy! But in this timeline Daemon becomes hand of the king & he also gets to marry Rhaenyra shortly upon her arrival back to Kings Landing. And this time Viserys properly trains Rhaenyra to step up to the throne & they do everything within his & Daemon’s power to get the realm ready for their first female ruler!

I think OP meant, what if Viserys had claimed Vermithor, probably *after* becoming king (there's a theory that it wasn't just because Viserys was a male, of male descent that he was chosen over Rhaenys- but because he was dragonless)- & if Aemma had proved to be a dragonrider, too - rather than adding onto _this_ 'what if'...
“Daemon would never allow this!!”
1. Not everything is about him 2. The point of this video is that it is a WHAT IF, it’s not supposed to line up with canon that’s the whole point, it’s canon divergence.
Daemon would never allow this to happen, he would hunt down Christian Cole, kill him, and return Rhaenyra to Viserys. He's not allowing a Targaryen Princess to live in poverty. Daemon would win in this situation because not only would he be back in Viserys' good graces but Viserys would be indebted to him. This means Daemon could finally get his annulment from Rhea and no one would want to wed Rhaenyra except him.
What if that pig killed rhaneyra
The Daemyra fangirls would throw a hissy fit.
The problem comes in the next generation where her kids show up and announce their claim. Dance is a lot shorter lol but still
What if Harwin lived?
Very Fanfic we esque but I'd love to write out some pondering about if Rhae and Allicent ran away after her mother died in childbirth before she could be named heir. Granted the only way two girls could get away with this is if she managed to go far enough away and had a dragon to help survive. But it was teased as a temptation in the first episode.
Imagine if Aegon II decided to leave Kingslanding since he himself said he’s not fit for duty so what if Aegon II just left Westeros?
A straight forward what if, with Rhaenyra gone she leaves her position of power and Aegon is named heir. If her father is deadly sick and she hears of this I can see her visting him and consoling with her family and be forgiven and she would live the rest of her life in happiness. I like how u said their is potential of her future bloodlines advocating for the throne later but I would say the King will send Daemon after Rhaenyra and Daemon would choose to keep her choice secret and Daemon would plot to be on the iron throne.
This hypothetical isn't one that I've pondered quite as much as others but some great ideas were explored.
The key intriguing possibilites to me were:
- Viserys becoming more obsessed with Rhaenyra which further burdens his relationship with Alicent, Aegon, Helaena and possibly Aemond
- If Aemond is already conceived when Rhaenyra flees and Viserys stops having kids then that means Daeron wouldn't exist. He's arguably the most capable as a potential ruler out of Viserys's 5 kids which furthers the tragedy.
- Rhaenyra's descendants trying to press claims or spark rebellion would probably not occur as peacefully as Saera's bastard sons. If anything it would probably be a rebellion that would be a mix of a delayed Dance & early Blackfyres
- The Aegon and Laena match. Aegon may not turn out as terrible in this scenario but he will still be a man desperate for love. Laena might be the one to temper his vices and help him be a better person and ruler.
what if Rhaenyra went to rooks rest with Rhaenys
This reminded me of a game. Dan the Man. A hero rescues the princess and brings him to his home but the princess doesn't like it so he has to work day and night to please her.
She’s cheaper than a 2 dollar whoah long live alicent the 3 dollar whoah
Omg plss ples do a part 2/alternate timeline where rhaeneyra atcually comes bach and lays claim to the throne , that would be epic !!!
Aegon would be King, obviously
