From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

House of Targaryen was one of the 9 great dynasties in Westeros in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series. It is a house where dragons are represented. The Targaryen line is descended from the Valyrian Freehold. Their banner is a three-headed red dragon on a black background.

History[edit]

Aegon the Dragon's descendants escaped the Doom of Valyria and the turmoil and carnage that followed, taking refuge on Dragonstone, a rocky island in the narrow sea.Aegon and his sisters (Visenya and Rhaenys) sailed from here on 3 dragons and conquered the Seven Kingdoms. In order not to spoil the purity of the blood, House Targaryen often followed the Valyrian tradition and preferred to marry siblings to each other. Aegon married both of his sisters and had a son from each. The Targaryen's banner is a red three-headed dragon on a black background, representing Aegon the Conqueror, Visenya, and Rhaenys.

King Aerys Targaryen, Second in His Name, was killed by Jaime Lannister during the sacking of King's Landing.
