It’s so funny how perfect a marriage of Jon and Daenerys would have fit into that family tree.
Maybe but dany was infertile
@@Empty_Roar how you know she infertile? They said it in the series or the books?
@@chriscraddock2867 in the books..
@@silvermoon986 in GOT she got pregnant in the first season, after the child died she couldn't bear children anymore..
In the show She went to a witch to get Kahl Drogo revived and the witch took the unborn babe in her womb and used its life force and her fertility to turn Kahl Drogo into a zombie esc thing
The names being so similiar and all the renaming plus inbreeding really makes it impossible to comprehend who's who
As a book reader, you just get used to it eventually.
@@SplendidFactor nice opening for bragging lol
Is kinda like European history. All the king Henry's and such
@@nickcox7504 the westeros Isle resembles the English Isle. The wall refers to the hadrians wall which Romans built to keep the picts away from the south
no it doesnt
I find it really funny how people are actually surprised that Rhaenyra and Daemon would end up together. The second she looked at him for the first time, sitting on the iron throne (where he gives her the necklace) I was SURE they would become something. I just knew. Instantly.
The uncle marries his nephew, even the Pharaohs who marry their brothers did not do this
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j
What? They married siblings, but not brothers to brother...
@@thalmoragent9344 Know
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j I'm pretty sure gay marriage wasn't allowed in ancient Egypt.
@@Danjen3ify They appeared at the Kingdom of Thamud, which was ruling the Hijaz, and they were fighting the Kingdom of Kedar
I just knewwwwww from the relationship they had that Daemon would marry his niece, Rhaenyra ...it just had those vibes of how he interacts with her and loves her. Plus the well-known incest factor of the Targaryens
I know right? I couldn't resist, I wanted to get spoiled and know if I was right. Since episode 1 it was made so obvious
It honestly makes the most sense that they would get married
He also marries laena valeryion he has a fling allegedly with Alicent
He cheats on her with multiple women in the books🤣
@@daquaviousbingleton9763 Apparently, Martin's books are filled with lore and myths. THOD is going to clear up the truth from the lore.
It's crazy how Alicent Hightower point of Aegon II claiming the throne was to prevent the death of him and his siblings when in the end her line was extinguished and the throne continued through Rhaenyra and Daemon.
She started a war for her to died alone and sick and with all her family line dead.
@@paulabarra5431 It's a shame that Rhaenyra and Daemon didn't really know that they had won. Because after their death Aegon was alive
@@user-df8lp9zq8s yep but the bastard didn’t live to celebrate burn like fat bacon by Syrax he died without an heir 3 months after and the crown was given to Aegon the young Rhaenrya and Daemon’s first son. So, it was the most satisfying end to that fat big as he made Aegon III watch the most horrific and disgusting thing a human can do to another and latter Alicent’s granddaughter died sadly the same way her pour mother (both victims of alicent and Aegon) did without giving young Aegon an heir. So alicent did all she did for her entire family to vanish by the end of the dance with dragons. 👏bravo what a freaking idiot. While Aegon the young went on to marry a Valeryon and the blood line carried from there.
So the Sea Snake, Rhaenys, Leana, leanor, daemon and Rhaenrya they all were cheering in the after life.
@@user-df8lp9zq8s aegon II was truly the weakiest targaryen and it bothers me how rhaenyra was villainized, aegon II steals the throne while she was in labor, killed her children stole the kingdom's gold to fund his army and erased her from the history books and she is the villain? once daemon kills vhagar he was fucked, he basically lost to rhaenys and baela even though they had weaker dragons than him and aemond, he never trully cared for sunfyre either as he was damaged goods by the time he won, his only accomplishment was killing rhaenyra which meant nothing since he dies anyway and her bloodline/lineage kept going and the hightower family line dies
also rhaenyra was always the true heir , also better prepared to be queen which is the reason viserys never replaced her as heir to the throne since she was instructed by him and aemma, unlike aegon II who was instructed by otto and alicent which resulted in the family line dead, she also wouldnt have harmed aegon II without being betrayed
I think this is 1 of the things that made Fire and ice so big, the thought out family trees, their alliances and interconection, and being kept track of. Unfortunetly it may be so complicated keeping track of it all that its making it so hard to finish the last books. I can imagine GRRM writing room having a massive wall with yarn connecting the characters
I read somewhere that he pays people to help him keep track of stuff.
I think he is just really enjoying being wealthy now which mostly slows his writing xD
And he also gets off on the incest... so much incest!
His room is just full of cocaine now. That s why he cant finish shit anymore
Writers.....mostly the already succesful writer usually have writer team (new writer). Sometimes some writers just let them do the work or pays ghostwriter.
That baby opening eyes and then they showed jon still gives me chills
me 2
baby was a paid actor
@@orxnges561 …
That baby looked like it went through 7 Hells
I have a question ,
how did rhaegar gain power after dance of dragons?
That was a lot to take in. I felt like I was studying for a history test lol
Whoever knows which Targaryen is which must have Sherlock level iq
GRRM 😂😂
The Khaleesi that was killed by Black Knight was a Skrull. The real queen is still alive somewhere in the multiverse.
Maybe she doesn't go Mad Queen on a separate Earth-899
Aa
Lmao 😅
SSSHHHHH... Don't tell them.... SSSSHHHHHHH
EXACTLY... trying to follow all these baby daddies is frustrating.. I really don't know why George R Martin wrote it like that. also it's not really mathematically feasible a human being only lives to be somewhere between 70 and a hundred years old they have men fathering like three generations of people not really possible in 100-year period you can't have eight different fathers. But it's a book series and a TV show so I guess it's okay. LOL
A big mistake at the end. Rhaegar married Elia Martell. They had two kids : Rhaenys and Aegon. Then (only in the the tv show, since the books are not finished), Rhaegar married Lyana and they had a son : Jon. However, we don't know his real name in the book. So maybe he was called Aegon too, like his half-brother. Maybe not. At this time GRR Martin was not on the TV show anymore and we all know the shit show it became. In the official family tree, you will find a Aegon, son of Rhaegar, but it's not Jon. (The character of Aegon has actually a big part in the book, but he is maybe an imposter)
And that young child of Rhaegar and Elia is known as Young Griff (Real name: Aegon Targaryen), he is claimed to be survived from Mountain's massacre.
PS: A popular theory is that he is actually not a son of Rhaegar and Elia, he is an imposter, in fact he is the last Blackfyre.
It would be very interesting, if he is revealed to be a Blackfyre :)
Among us?
Exactly. Hence "A Song of Ice and Fire" not Sun and Fire.
Thank you for adding this. Very important point that was wrong in the video
There's too many aegons
2:02: I have to admit, the way Aenys is pronounced by the narrator gave me a good laugh 😂😂😂 At first I was like, did one of the Targaryens seriously name their child that?! Lol.
It sounds awful lol. I prefer the way Arya pronounced it in GoT, his mother as Ray-knees so he’d be Ay-knees. Even the way they pronounce it in HotD, Ray-niece would sound fine as Ay-niece. Anything better than Ranus and Anus! 😂
@@piratesswoop725 i think it should be Anuls lol
No she’s pronouncing about 90% of the names wrong lol
No at 7:59 Joe snow was not the son of Elia Martell, see Rhaegar married Elia, had at least 2 children, one of em was named Aegon Targaryen, but Rhaegar divorced Elia, married Lyanna Stark and had Aegon Targaryen, it wasn't uncommon for Targaryens to use the same name more than once. If Jon Snow's older half brother would've survived, Jon would've been called Aegon Targaryen the Younger. Whoever made that family tree got lazy at the end.
and that's tv show canon only, the same show that straight up left out Jaehaerys II and Shaera
Actually, GoT already made a retcon to the historical Targaryen bloodline, all the way back in season 3, I think, when maester Aemon tells Jon he's actually Aemon Targaryen, son of king Maekar. He also tells him how he refused the ascend the Iron Throne in order to become a maester, which is why his much younger brother, Aegon, became King Aegon V. He then says that the Mad King, Aerys II, was Aegon V's son, when in reality, in the books, he was his grandson. They basically erased poor Jahaerys II out of the fictional history.
Yeah that retcon happened in season 1
Yes that is so true I just saw that clip
it was an error that was later admitted by the show
@@sanvalentine23 Eah, happens...
GOT is not canon
I just recently found out that Jon Snow has the same name as his biological half brother Aegon. The reason behind it was because of a prophecy that Rhaegar believed in, so when his first son and his wife and daughter were murdered and Jon Snow was born, Rhaegar and Lyanna named him Aegon so that the prophecy may have a chance of coming true
Nah....rhaegar Targaryen was already dead when jon was born. Rhaegar, according to prophecy might have wanted third head of the dragon, who might be a girl, as Aegon and Rhaenys his children were already born. He might have wanted to name his third child after Visenya...but his baby was of wrong gender lol
@@amyra8159 He was dead? You mean he can't have told Lyanna the name before he died?
@@richcheckmaker9789 season 8 is nonsense it makes no since for rheagar to name 2 of his sons the same name .
@@thatoneblackdude3333 That part makes sense, he thinks the prince that was promised is going to be his son with Elia Martell at first so he names him Aegon, then later he realizes his son with Lyanna is the real prince that was promised so also names him Aegon.
@@richcheckmaker9789 no it doesn't rheagar intended to have a daughter Visenya to recreate the original 3 headed Dragon he also died before Jon was even born so there's no way he'd know what gender he was or prepare a mane for him Jon's targaryen name being aegon was a tv creation because they threw away the lore and rules of the world that's also why they pretend he was the rightful hier over dany when Jon is still legally a basterd because rheagar was already married to another women before getting with leana
Yeah, this was all kinds of wrong in some places, particularly when it comes to the end of the family tree. Rhaegar had two kids with Eilia, one of whom was a son, baby Aegon. *Jon's* Targaryen name is actually still unknown when it comes to the books. But given that Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon, it's doubtful it's that. Also, Aegon I married both his sisters at the same time, not one then another. (So yeah, he had 2 wives at the same time, both of whom were his sisters). In fact, his oldest child's mother was his YOUNGEST sister and was the one who inherited the throne right after Aegon I. Maegor *usurped* the crown from his nephew after his half-brother Aeyns I died.
I think it was said that Aegon loved one of them a little more than the other, and I think he slept with the younger one a little more often, which is why she had the first kid
Jon's name will be aegon
By the time jon was born, rhaegars family had been murdered. Rhaegar didn't name him and had just died
Basically, rhaegar has lots of dreams like aegon the conqueror does regarding the prince that was promised and it must be a song of ice and fire. Hence stark and targaryen. He tells lyanna. The prince must be named Aegon, hence when lyanna finds out about kings landing, she names her son aegon.
GRRM gave the endings for the characters but apparently he will change it because of the bad reaction lol
For some reason a lot of people seem to want Jon Snow to remain Jon Snow and not be a secret Targaryen. I think for them it adds to his character, a simple bastard rising in life, instead of a secret prince who was promised. I’m still questioning why the show resurrected him, only for Arya to steal his thunder, unless of course Jon snow was just there for Arya as moral support.
@@44unknown83 Well honestly it isn't that the show resurrected Jon, it's that Jon's going to be resurrected in the books. Now, how he comes back in the books and what that'll mean for him remains in question. But the show only did it because GRRM is going to do it in the books. But when he does it won't be because he's going to have some fight with the Night King, because the Night King doesn't exist in the books. So D&D did it, and then just decided to take any remaining storyline they had set up for Jon around that and just chuck it over to Arya. Why? In their own words, it was because they felt like it.
@@44unknown83 - I like Arya killing the NK. Jon did his duty as a leader to unite everyone to fight against the army of the dead. I think it would have been too cliche for him to do it. Arya spent her life training to become an assassin. The show spent a lot of time throughout all the seasons on her. It was fitting for her arc to be the one to do it. Otherwise, all that time watching her grow would have been for nothing.
Is there ever going to be a day that someone making these videos actually reads and understands the source material prior to writing their scripts? Jaeherys didn't outlive "all" his children - there's at least 2 alive at the point of the Great Council Vaegon (a Maester) and Saera (exiled across the narrow sea). Neither an ideal choice which was the point of the council but that doesn't mean he outlived them all.
Saera was pretty much dead in the eyes of Jaehaerys, and Vaegon, being a maester, was pretty much dead in family name.
She also said the great counsel was like on the show except it was Leanor who was up against Vacerys
The only children of Jaehaerys there is evidence existed in the show are Aemon (Rhaenys's dad), Baelon, Alyssa (Viserys and Daemon's parents) and Daella (Aemma's mother). Tragedy claimed 'both his sons' which most likely means there's no Vaegon in the show universe. Saera probably exists, since there were still lots of rival claims at the Great Council. But she won't be relevant.
Maesters are required to forget their family names, right? They give up their entire familial and political history? I'm still new to Game of Thrones and the whole franchise, so it's definitely confusing, but if what I just stated is true, then that means Vaegon was technically not a Targaryen anymore. Simply just Maester Vaegon.
Saera being exiled definitely kicks her out of the family Targaryen. Though both were still alive, and had Targaryen genes, it's possible they weren't considered true Targaryens due to their statuses.
@@lynnxx1744 yes, you are correct about maesters. Maester Aemon was a prince and son of Maekar, and ahead of Aegon V, but he abdicated the crown and that's why his younger brother became king. It's similar to the Night's Watch, they can't hold lands, titles, get married or have children. That's why Samwell Tarly was disinherited as heir to House Tarly.
I haven't seen the new show yet but a wish the new series was about the mad kings story and Roberts rebblian and it's crazy af how all these family trees go back 100s of years and all this world from one man's brain don't know how he could come up with all this
That was a really good breakdown. I appreciate this.
Slight mistake here - The GOT show did not change Jon Snow's (Aegon's) mother, Rhaegar had two sons with different women, both named Aegon.
The show did hint that they'd removed Jaehaerys II Targaryen from their cannon though.
That is true the show did remove Jaehaerys II Targaryen from the tree.
Why?
Why did they remove J II?
They removed J II T to make Maestor Aemon more closely related to The Mad King and closer to the current time.
It's not too late to retcon that though, as the only time it's mentioned is by an elderly Maestor Aemon, who wasn't too far from his deathbed at the time and could have easily been confused given his age.
@@LuciferChapel1987 Great explanation, you should write books or movie scripts.
The family tree was summarised perfectly In house of the dragon :
"she's our sister"
"then you marry her"
*Rhaenyra and Daemon are the ancestors of Daenerys, the Baratheon brothers and their children and the Martells. Renly, Stannis, Gendry, the Sand Snakes, Oberyn, Elia, Shireen [...] all of them are her descendants.*
Penrose, Plumm, Longwaters also descend from them.
A younger son of Hightowers Garmund, had 6 daughters with Rhaena who is Daemon's daughter. His other daughter Baela married Alyn Velaryon and had a child with him.
Also there's the blackfyres which is why there were multiple rebellions.
Then there's always bastards as well.
Believe me, it's best to take the time and read Fire and Blood because this all gets insanely confusing, mostly because of similar names.Daemon and Rhaenyra marry out of affection but also to seal their right to the Iron Throne. Rhaemyrrra has a terrible fate in store for her, and so do her children.
There is just 6 Aegon's,its a headache
I have been trying to figure the connection out. Thank You!!!!!
The best part is that it started with Aegon (the conquerer) and ended with Aegon (Jon Snow). 😱👍👍
lol wow...
There’s still a bunch of Targs and people of Targeryen descent still out there
Not that crazy or interesting considering half the cast share their names, if not more.
The dynasty? We don't know the founder but the earliest is Aenar who fled the valyrian freehold to come to westeros. So he was the first Targaryen lord of Dragonstone.
As king it would be Daenerys the last ruler as Jon never ruled westeros and never was officially known as a Targaryen, so not really. He was exiled and still is known as a bastard.
@@SorceressWitch Yes. You have a point. It is just that Aegon is more famous for those watching the show and non book readers. 👍👍
Thank you for explaining that so thoroughly!
And here I am expecting the family tree to be a circle
Just FYI, Aemma Arryn's father is not unknown, his name is Rodrik Arryn :)
yep!
I could tell just by watching ep 1 that Daemon and Rhaenyra would end up together lol. And I have no idea about the books
She is the only one he loves besides his brother and himself. 😂
Maegor is younger than Aenys. This is a very important detail since Maegor and his mother Visenya believed that Maegor should be the true king because he acted more like a “dragon” than Aenys. Maegor was never the true heir to the throne. He just stole it for 6 horrible years
Finally, someone is making sense out of the awful lots... this was straight to the point. The family names gets confusing along the line but this was on point. Thanks for making things clear.
You are wrong about the last Aegon. Jon Snow (Aegon) is son of Rhaegar and Lyana Stark while Rhaegar and Elia Martell also have a son named Aegon aka Young Griff
Rhaegar was obsessed with the Prince that was Promised prophecy and was convinced the Prince would be named Aegon. So he essentially he wanted to name both of his sons Aegon to ensure the Prince that was Promised would be his son.
@@guLynx that doesnt makes any sense
"This is GOT lore so incest is a big part of it, in that way, almost everyone in the targaryen family is related" The absolute finest thing I've ever heard.
even starks and lannisters have been involved in incest. ned stark's parents were cousins so were tywin and joanna. then there is that time when two of cregan stark's(he is going to appear later on in the house of the dragon show) son married their neices.
@@arunsingla3452 is marrying cousin considered as incest? Even in modern days, law allows marry your cousin in somany countries..younger generation doesn't prefer that. So number of such marriage decreased now a days.... But still it's happening.. ( not a English native speaker)
@@Rheawonder first cousins are not allowed to marry
@@bibbiana4Lyfe it is allowed in many countries my parents are 1st cousin
Actually the source material states that it was between Laenor and Vicerys at the great council. Rhaenys had been passed over already when Baelon was named heir over her. The show changed it
Exactly
if my eyes dont decieve me, pretty much all babies had white hair if the father did. The only instance this didnt occur was with jon suprisingly. lucky for ned he didnt have to go through much to hide jons real identity
If you look closely, every time a Targaryen married a woman with no white hair, the first born child has the mother hair and the rest has the father. Like Baelor Breakspear, son of Daeron II and Myriah Martell. Duncan, son of Aegon V and Betha Blackwood. Rhaenys, daughter of Rhaegar and Elia Martell. And Jon, son of Rhaeghar and Lyanna.
@@joshheirmann7455 Daeron son of Maekar as well.

Great vid thanks!! Makes it all very clear.
Thanks for the full explanation Miss
Jamie Lannister & Cercei is normal when I saw this family tree
Man you’d expect the Targaryens to be a pretty huge house with all the kids each parent has had.
It’s crazy how unlucky the Targaryen’s are with offspring
Except they keep marrying their sisters and nieces. Not only does this create a lot of genetic issues in terms of stillborns, miscarriages, and unhealthy children, it also limits the descendants, because you don't have two of your children creating two new branches in a pyramid style expansion, they marry each other and the line keeps converging back.
@@laurendearnley9595 true, but that is quite important for the power dynamic in Westeros because Targaryen blood makes you special with being able to tame dragons
With all of the incest going on how come there aren’t a whole lot of children with birth defects ?
Well the white hair is def a defect but in the story the Thargaryen family is connected with the gods so they can incest without a problem and as we see it's totally normal for them.
The inherent madness is a trait of incest also.
I believe Vicerys has hemophilia as seen in the HOTD series. Still though.
@@EverlastingTorr What madness? There's a total of three mad Targaryens. I'm ruling out Maegor the Cruel because he was just evil. I'm ruling out Baelor the Blessed because he was a religious extremist. Some people call Viserys mad, but he's just a fool. That leaves Rhaegel, Aerion Brightflame and Aerys II. The mad Targaryens are a myth created by the show.
@@jjm0537 Show Viserys have leprecy. That's why he's falling apart.
The show show didn't change the children of Rhaegar like you said. They are the same. There were 2 Aegons.
I think they only named Jon as Aegon because they didn't do the FAegon storyline. Otherwise, the book will be very confusing if he's also named Aegon.
@@jedimasters1462 Yeah we will see. But I think that they will name him Aegon in the books as well.

@@jedimasters1462 The Faegon storyline wasn't included to the show but Rhaegar and Elia's son Aegon is still mentioned in the earlier episodes.
Thank you for this awesome explanation. Cheers! 🥂
You really are doing the lords work
Daenerys and Aegon (Jon) should have gotten married and ruled jointly and Dany shouldn’t have gone mad, but no, show was ruined by stupid directors.
Oh, come on, what do you expect the Lannisters to be defeated and imprisoned and Daenerys Jon Snow to get married and it all ends well and joy and laughter, so that's how it's going to be ridiculous, and that after Daenerys becomes queen, everyone finally realizes that Jon Snow is a Targaryen, this may spark a home war between Jon Snow and Daenerys' children or grandchildren.
@@rahimrahimi15 How is set-up for future stories a bad thing? Also, the show was always going to be more simplified than the books. They should have just went with it.
Rhaenyra , also connected to Baratheon Brothers, Gendry, and Shireen. First 2 episode Rhaenyra was like Shireen(betray by her dad and disobeys her dad to do the right thing). Also Rhaenyra is the many great grandmother of Baratheon Brothers.

I hope they decide to keep the connection to Jon & Daenerys so that once they put as much of the WHOLE STORY together as possible on the 'Small Screen' when we're off on the holidays we can 'veg out' on the TOTAL series. I would like to know how the LINE lost 'Cat's Paw' now since they have set up that it was passed from 'heir to heir'! It seems to me that they 'deliberately' made a connection between the Targaryen Kings and a STARK ending up with it.
Well, it was passed from heir to heir, so it would've went from the Mad King to Rhaegar, both who died during Robert's Rebellion, so the significance of the dagger would've been lost, only it's value as a Valyrian weapon kept it changing hands among the wealthy.
We could make the assumption that Jaime took it from the Mad King directly and gifted it to Tyrion at some point, and then we know the rest of the journey.
It's kinda obvious how they lost it. It was passed from king to heir, and Rhaegar was the last heir before Targaryen's fall (meaning the last one to know about Aegon's prophecy) and he couldn't live long enough to tell this to his own heir.
@@ba-cl8ji I don't see that dagger on Rhaegar in the 'Wedding' scene that Brandon Stark saw. Just because he was passed the 'Prophecy' doesn't mean he got the dagger.
I think that prophecy probably got lost when Rhaenyra got eaten by Aegons dragon Sunfyre. She might have passed it on to her older sons but they all died as well.
@@aileenma7518 She married her Uncle and gave him two sons, both later sat on the Iron Throne. (Aegon III & Viserys II) Her olders son did die in the War but they were the children of her first marriage to Laenor Velaryon.
Did NOBODY in the production of this watch GOT or check their facts? How could you broadcast the last minute of this, thinking that Lyanna Stark is Elia Martell and completely ignoring the fact Rhaegar had two sons named Aegon (in the show anyway, Jon Snows birth name hasnt been revealed in the books.) Thats a MAJOR plot point and the thing that nearly every casual viewer understands.
Thanks for this!
You didn't mention Aemon Targaryen that was in the night watch with John snow, hes brother the mad king
No he was grand uncle to the mad king.
@@sanitizerwilson1599 they didn't mention him
Why does aemon targaryen in GOT when he was dying kept saying "Egg"?
@@thedigitalsight6010 Egg was Aegon the 5ths nickname and Aemon's younger brother.
The show removed Jaehaerys II from the lineage shown in books, and presented Aegon V (egg) as the father of Aerys II (mad king).
Rhaelle the daughter of Aegon V ,is robert baratheons grandmother, thus making gendry a descendant of the targeryan line as well.
jon snow and gendry are the last of the targareyans , gendry still comes from rhaenyras blood too.
There are other Targaryens in the female line too, though Robert Baratheon is the closest legitimate relative to Jon and Dany at the time of Game of Thrones (which would apply to any legitimate or legitimized children of Robert). Jon, Dany, Viserys, and the Baratheon Brothers are the only living legitimate descendants of Aegon V at the start of Game of Thrones. They are descended from Aegon V, but Aegon V's sisters had children and descendants and he also had a fraternal niece and nephew (who was passed for the crown because his father was a psychopath). Of course if you start counting Bastards, it gets out of control. (I know Gendry was legitimized in the show and the Blackfyres in the books, so they are different from the other bastards.) Anyway, there are other descendants of Rhaenyra and Daemon, including all of House Martell (through Raenyra's Great-grandaughter).
The Velaryons in GoT are also decendants of Targaryens. So Targs are not that uncommon really.
Hey Anna ✌️
How much cost of your voice over?
Since this series came I am trying to wrap my head around the relations..
There shouldn’t be circles in family trees
I really hope HOD will give us Aegon's Conquest and Robert Baratheon's rebellion.
The Dance of Dragons, the first, third and fourth Blackfyre Rebellions, the Conquest, Maegor's reign, Daeron's campaigns in Dorne and the War of the Nine-Penny Kings are all far more interesting stories. If they do Robert's Rebellion it should be as flashbacks in the inevitable Game of Thrones remake.
This is helpful. Thanks.
When Jaehaerys the !st is Bib Fortuna from Retrun of the Jedi, I can't help but hear, "De wana wanga"
Anus Targaryen.... did not expect that!! I've read that name many times, but never heard it pronounced like that. Lol!
It's pronounced ay-knees lol
How is Jon snow the last, if we don’t know about other branches of the family
If Saera's branch still exists there's nothing left of the Targaryens in it. The Blackfyre branch is pretty much extinct. The male line, anyway. We don't know what happened to Maegor Brightflame. If he had children his line might still be around. But that's about it.
Thanks for explaining 🙂
UGHHH THANKS FOR THIS!!!! the names are super confusing!!!! hahaha reused for generations lol
They must've died super young (I know many did), 172 years doesn't have to be such a big distance that it would produce 6 generations in between.
I think it’s more because they married and had kids young. But yes, a lot died young too
I believe you have your Aegon I son's births switched. Aenys was king before Maegor.
Like this, it realy helped in this confusion 😘😘
Deamon and Rhaenyra are the ones that continue on the Targeryans Dynasty.
One thing I don’t understand is why their first born Son Aegon III does not become king but their second son Viserys II does, who ultimately build the descendants that lead to the mad king, Dany and Jon snow.
While the descendants of Aegon III end up being the blackfire family.
Aegon III was the first born, married Daenera Valeryon who was her half sister and cousin eho had Targeryan blood from her grandmother the queen who never was. So if anything their kids deserved to continue the Targeryan dynasty. Anyone know why??
Excellent question!
He becomes king and his two sons also become kings ,but they don't have any heir ,so logically it passed to Viserys II, Viserys II served as hand for Aegon III and his two nephews before he was king.
The dynasty continued with a miracle since somehow viserys 2 make it alive from the dance of dragons
The Blackfyres are descended from Daemon Blackfyre, who's the first of Aegon IV's great bastards. They're descended from Viserys II, not Aegon III.
Doesn’t this mean Viserys I, is Jon Snows’ 8th great great grandfather as well?
Yeap and Daemon his 9th.
Thank you, it was very intersting
I’m excited to see how Aemon the maestro will be introduced in his younger years
So how I’m seeing this is that HoD May run 3-4 seasons. This first season being the generation of Daemon/Viserys/Rhaenyra/Alicent. Then following the the stories of Aegon and then his offspring all the way up to the mad king. Right into the beginning of GoT. That will be beautiful. By then we will have been introduced to all the houses and there may be more background on the whitewalkers. Big excite
No. HotD would be 3-4 seasons explaing the Dance of Dragons aka Rhaenyra vs Aegon.
I really hope they don't ruin this like GOT SEASON 8 disaster did
That is not what the 4 seasons are for and there wouldn't be enough seasons to go that far.
Season 1 was from the great council where Viserys was chosen as heir and mostly showed his reign as king and the events leading up to the dance of the dragons. The next season's will all take place during the dance of the dragons. Season 1 had many time jumps but they're over now. The 4th season will be when the war ends.
The show is using material from a book called Fire and Blood. The book is big and covers the reigns of Aegon I - Aegon III and there is a part 2 planned to cover the other Targaryen kings. GRRM is still writing The Winds of Winter and needs to get that done first and then he said he will write more Dunk and Egg stories and A Dream of Spring. So I don't know when Fire and Blood part 2 will be done but it can wait as ASOIAF is more important and that's his main focus right now. He has been busy with TWOW and has 25% of it left to finish writing.
@@drw_predator Unlike Benioff and Weiss Ryan Condall is actually competent and he understands the source material.
I didn't read the books, and even I know there's no way Jon Snow was the son of Rhaegar's wife. For one thing, there's no way Ned Stark would raise and protect him if he wasn't related to him in some way. Just that fact alone completely blows apart Jon being Elia Martell's child.
the equivalent distance in time, would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II's ancestor of King George III, famously the King that lost the American Colonies
Thank you for telling the truth about spoilers.
So what so wrong if daenerys will be with jon snow? If rhaenyra wed her uncle daemon and brother and sisters notoriously wed in the whole targaryen line. Personally I dont consider the targaryens as humans similar to the limitations of earth humans. They are beings touched by magic so maybe that not so bad in their terms.
I would agree that they’re not the same as the rest of us. It is believed that they inbreed so that they won’t lose their magic to control dragons, but those inbreedings surely have its tolls. To quote some characters from GoT, „Every time a Targaryen is born, the Gods flip a coin.“ He/She will either become a good ruler or mad, and in Dany‘s case, we knew on which side the coin landed.
Ned parents were cousins
@@Cream-2128 .you're right. Tywin Lannister's wife was also his cousin BUT marrying cousins weren't considered incest in the middle ages (or even today in some cultures)
@@ba-cl8ji
It's not considered as incest in India too.
@@alexisleander477 actually the Targaryens begone unstable in Mind when they Lose there Dragons and started feeling Vulnerable unlike when they still have those Beast.
I know that the inbreeding trope in GRRM's books is directly based on European and British dynasties, but still, the utter ignorance, greed and lunacy of it always ups the creepiness factor way up for me.
Rhaenyra is actually Danny's 7 great grandma
Your caption answered my question 😂
Dany is descended from Rhaenrya and Daemon’s son Viserys.
Everyone, take the family tree in this video with a grain of salt. It's all messed up. I can't tell you what's right, but I can tell you this is wrong.
I love the Targaryens theme music
They didn't make a mistake Rhaegar Targerian has 2 sons named Aegon, one with Elia Martell and the other with Lyana Stark
That's the show, and it's stupid.
Just a bit of advice for your followers. If you stick to just the same family tree whether it be the one with pictures or names and not have clips of the show in between it’ll be easier to follow.
Cool. We'll keep that in mind and make the transitions a little smoother. Thank you for your honest feedback!
What if the spinoff GOT: Snow, where Jon went to the north but eventually traveled and meet up with Drogon and become his mount? The last Targeryan riding the last dragon...
I’m sorry but anything post s8 is stupid to me. One of the reasons s8 was atrocious was because you had two guys being lazy flying by the seat of their pants coming up with a script that was based on no source material. So the things that made GOT popular in storytelling effort, detail and anticipation of viewers was totally destroyed.
Let’s put this way I have no faith in Snow.
@@sarahjames927 do not be disheartened by incompetence of the last writers, GRR Martin is still alive and "Snow" can find redemption by the hands of the greatest storyteller of our time, given a chance..
Daenarys still alive with her 3 dragons what are you talking about?
@@tariizm1500 yes & I am Tom Cruise! Lol. 😂😂
@@michaelcortez6596 you think i am joking? she is in last book 16 years old queen of Meereen her nephew Aegon (Jon's big brother) with 10k soldier landed in Westeros he is nowadays planning take over Stormlands... btw Dany conquered Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen at the age of 14. that stupid show called GOT isnt canon...
I do know Daemon would have been obsessed with Daenerys, lol
especially her riding a dragon with no saddle & being fireproof
I tried to google this while watching first ep but i just got a headache.
This family is more confusing than any other thing
Rhaegar having two sons named Aegon (different mothers) is possible.
My friend dated a guy who had at least 3 baby mamas and two of them named the daughter they had with him "Desiree". No joke guys! This guy did not say "yo baby mama, my other baby mama already named my kid Desiree." So yeah this guy has two daughters named Desiree.
Reasonable
Aegon will not be Jon's name in the books. Its absolutely stupid
That doesn't change the fact that it's stupid.
People really questioned if Rhaenyra and Daenerys were connected somehow….. isn’t that the point of a family line?
also the ending of the show didnt have grrm input into it. so from seaon 6 to 8 GRRM was essential not invovled.
What? In the books Jon is son of Elia, not Lyana??? In the books there is John Connington with a boy whose hair was dyed blue to cover his targaryen white hair… So there is a suggestion that the boy is the son of Raegar and Elia who officially was killed.
They explained it wrong. Rhaegar and Elia indeed had a son named Aegon, but he was killed at the end of Robert's Rebellion. The show didn't include Young Griff (young boy with dyed blue hair) but in the books, he is claimed to be Aegon Targaryen (Rhaegar&Elia's son who is presumed dead) but he's most likely a Blackfyre (a legitimized bastard line of the Targaryens). Jon Snow was the second son of Rhaegar whose name is also Aegon (his true name is still unknown in the books but some believe it's Aegon in the books too) and his mother is Lyanna.
Yeah, the Targaryens at least had a more valid reason for their inbreeding. It didn't affect them as much as it would to other regular people, and it was actually effective for the Dragonblood they carried... still couldn't be me though, could never marry my sisters 🤨
even if you could ride dragons and own a kingdom.
@@drdisrespect.8174
Nope, I'd marry another Valyrian woman, one I can't connect any true blood relationship to. Then tell my kids not to use intermarriage as a crutch cause that leads to more issues than its worth
@@thalmoragent9344 then you are absolute chad.
people now a days are disgusting they perform incest porn, same genders porn, do porn with animals,
sick place
@@thalmoragent9344 Exactly just keep marrying Lyseni.. they are the most Valyrian looking people besides Targs and Velaryons
@@djohnsones2501
Lyseni? Who are they?
Targarian family now resides somewhere in Mississippi in a small town called insestville
Dragon exists, army of the dead exist, bringing back the dead exist... its possible for danaerys to bring back to life. For example, Jons Snow once died for taking many knife stab in the body and he still lives... i hope they bring danaerys back to life in HOTD!!!!!
HOW! it's a fucking prequel, set nearly two hundred years before daenerys is even born
omg so confusing how this one big family
lots and lots of incest her family tree is almost a straight line
Clear as clear can be...txs
There is a correction with Aegon the Conqueror and his sister wives. The video made it look like Maegor was born first when in fact Aenys was born first to Rhaenys and five years later, Maegor was born to Visenya. The same goes for Daemon and Rhaenyra's children, Aegon III was born first, then Viserys II.
Also the show kind of removes Jaehaerys II or Maester Aemon lost his wits and said Aerys II was the son of Aegon V when in fact he is the grandson.
--
DnD kinda forgot that Rhaegar had another child named Aegon or the more logical thing to consider is that Lyanna wasnt particular with the name of the royal prince considering the North has their own business there.
This is one hell of a play book with lines going all over the place.
Where are the Kardashians?
Why???
🤣🤣
Errm .. the real question is where are the avengers?
They are having 1000th plastic surgery
Where are the Velaryons and who are these imposters that seem to have stolen their identify despite looking nothing like them?
