Of course, the Targaryen blood may have been stronger while the rest of House Baratheon were more dominant between the Baratheon blood and the Durrandon blood. The only time the Targaryen blood wasn't stronger was in Rhaelle and her son and grandsons.

      Stannis was 1/8 Targaryen, because Rhaelle (her grandma) was just Half-Targaryen, since her mother was Betha Blackwood. In reality is less than that, because Aegon V, Rhaelle's father, was also Half-Targaryen (his mother being Dyanna Dayne), and Maekar, Aegons father, was also Half-Targaryen through his mother (Myria Martell). Laenor's mother is half Targaryen, and we dont know if Alyssa Velaryons, Laenor's great-grandmother had some Targaryen in her as well.

    So, i have a theory on my mind for a few weeks now that i dont know if i read somewhere or i came up with it myself.
    Here it goes: There were a lot of dragons in Valyria, right? They were controlled by the 40 families. What determined them to be more powerful? Could have been dark magic or just dragons. If there was a very powerful family with huge dragons, surely somebody could have tamed them somehow and took power which is not good(they guarded their dragons surely, but if they get pass them or kill the guards). They bonded to their dragons by blood. My theory at last is that if you were Targaryen you could only tame with Targaryen dragons cuz your blood was connected, you couldnt bond with any other dragon just cuz you had valyrian blood. Thats why they practiced inbreeding so no other family gets access to their dragons that are bonded to their blood.
    Am i insane? Is that general knowledge that i pass as a theory?

    This is just a theory, but I feel like Nettles was George's clue/hint that the Blood isn't needed to ride a dragon. Nettles succeeding in getting Sheep Stealer thorugh unTargaryen ways by continuously feeding the Sheep Stealer sheep until the Sheep Stealer became familiar with her and even most likely came to like her. Her lineage is never confirmed. And a good theory that another RUclipsr Hill's Alive that Queen Rhaenyra wanted Nettles dead not because she suspected her of sleeping or bewitching Daemon, because she's completely fine with the White Worm sharing his bed, so it seems she doesn't mine sharing Daemon, but The Hill's Alive theorizes that Queen Rhaenyra wanted Nettles dead because she didn't think she was a dragon seed and believed her to be a common peasant. Obviously the implications that a common peasant can tame a dragon would really jeapardize the Targaryen's power and would cause others to try do tame dragons and usurp their hold. The threat is clear and it's a good reason why Rhaenyra wanted her dead, because her jealousy isn't a good motive seeing how she already was fine with Daemon sleeping with other women.

    • @Alejojojo6
      @Alejojojo6 Год назад +14

      Nettles was a Targaryen bastard. She's most likely, a bastard descendant. That's how she managed to tame the dragon but she had just a little Targaryen blood in her, so she needed to do more than just approach it. But dont be fooled, if she didnt have the Targaryen little bit in her, no matter what she did, it would not have worked.
      She wanted Nettles executed alongside the other dragon seeds because 2 had already turned to the greens and didnt want them to do the same. Rhaenyra wanted Addam also executed, so it has nothing to do with your peasant theory or the fact she was sleepying with Daemon, it was the fact that she was a potential threat to side with the Greens like some had already did.

      Actually, it is hinted that the first Hightowers predate all of them: "The reasons for the abandonment of the fortress and the fate of its builders, whoever they might have been, are likewise lost to us, but at some point we know that Battle Isle and its great stronghold came into the possession of the ancestors of House Hightower. Were they First Men, as most scholars believe today? Or did they mayhaps descend from the seafarers and traders who had settled at the top of Whispering Sound in earlier epochs, the men who came before the First Men? We cannot know." - from The World of Ice & Fire

    I think is important to remember that is very likely that the valyrians practiced genetical engeeniering, along blood magic. I think that's why when they married outside the family some Targaryens offspring didn't have valyrians features, the valyrian gene wasn't strong 🙃 enough, with some exceptions like Alicent's children, Rhaegar's and Elia's Aegon. Like my mom used to say, she's a doctor. Genetics are the most stubborn thing in the world, you never know how they'll act.

      Elaena Targaryen (platinum white & gold), Tyrion (pale blonde & black), and Gerold Dayne (silver & black)

    Aemond failed to claim a dragon before Vhagar. At least in show canon, Dreamfyre rejected him. I won't spoil future events in HOTD, but some other characters prove that dragons have a choice in rider regardless of blood. While Targaryen ancestry may or may not be a requirement, it does not guarantee that a specific dragon will accept someone as their rider. It's possible that, had Quentyn hypothetically been presented with a different dragon, it would have accepted him. I believe he failed because he lacked the Targaryen spirit.

      maybe they do realise it's a problem, but they also believe their blood must stay pure in order to ride/ressurrect dragons, so for Targs all those stillbirths must be a price worth paying. Especially when you consider that regular children also died in huge numbers back then, so the fact that the Targ ones happened to have wings, etc. wouldn't have made a huge difference overall.
