Deyeneris Targarien in books and TV series

George Martin's saga "Song of Ice and Flame" is famous for its unlike heroes. And among them the most prominent are those who are called the main contenders for the throne of Vesteras. One of these is the heiress of the ancient royal family, Deyeneris Targarien.

Prehistory of the Princess

The history of this pretender to the throne begins at a time when her ancient race fell. Dayeneris is the daughter of King Vesteros Eyris II of the Mad. The father's unreasonable policy, explained by his mental illness, led to the uprising and the overthrow of the old regime. The former king, his heir and children were killed. I managed to escape only to the pregnant Queen Reil and Prince Wieseris, the son of Eiris II. Dayeneris was born on the Dragonstone at a time when the storm was destroying together with the ships the last hopes of the Targarienes to win. During the birth, the queen died. Young heirs began to guard loyal to the old royal family people.

The princess spent the first years of her life in the house of Syra Darry, who served as her father's master in arms. But the patron of the children died when Denis was still small. Vizeris had to survive the painful time of wandering and hunger with his sister before they were accepted by Master Pentos and rich merchant Illyrio Mopatis.

Princess and Khalisi

All the time of wanderings, Viseris Targarien wished to return to his native state and regain his throne. But the young prince had neither army nor means. Plans and stories about a distant homeland, he shared with his younger sister.

Kings of the kind of Targarienes, according to the old custom, took their sisters' wives in order to preserve the purity of blood. But Wieseris departed from this rule, having decided to get the throne at the expense of the princess. Together with the master of Illyrio, he married Denis for khala Drogo, the leader of the warlike nomads.

At the wedding Daineris Targarien was presented with numerous gifts, among which were three dragon eggs. They were so old that no one believed in the possibility of the appearance of dragons from them. Once the Targariens were able to unite the seven kingdoms into one by fire-breathing monsters. But centuries later, the dragons died out, remaining only as a memory on the Turgarien coat of arms. Because Denis was very pleased with the unexpected gift. In addition, she received as a gift three servants and met with disgraced knight Sir Jorah Mormont, who became her faithful defender and mentor.

Changes in life greatly influenced the princess, dividing her life into two parts. Having become Khalisi, she was more powerful and respected than Brother Wieseris. This prince could not forgive, as well as the fact that Khal Drogo was in no hurry to give his army to win the throne. The Daeneris lost respect for Wieseris and every day more and more realized that a weak prince could not become a worthy ruler of Västerås, unlike her.

Khal Drogo

The history of the khala is poorly lit up until the moment when he married Deyeneris Targarien. He was considered one of the strongest warriors, as evidenced by his long braid: the Dotrakians cut their hair only after the defeat.

Drogo was able to unite many smaller Khalasars and, after raids, gain wealth. All this enabled him to take as wife the heiress of the ancient family. Deyeneris Targarien and Khal Drogo initially distrusted each other. Denis was afraid of her husband, who spoke a foreign language and was brought up in another culture. The warrior did not have respect for the girl. But over time, their relationship has changed greatly, turning into one of the most beautiful love stories.

Deyeneris Targarien and Drogo, as the wise Doctricans predicted, were to become the parents of a great warrior. And the Khal promised his young wife that their son would take the throne of the distant western state, about which his mother dreams.
