Frequently asked questions
Is Jon Snow a Targaryen?
Yes. Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, which makes his
true name Aegon Targaryen and gives him a claim to the Iron Throne. You can see
his place in the lineage in the tree above.
How are Daenerys and Jon Snow related?
Daenerys Targaryen is Jon Snow's aunt — she is the younger sister of his father,
Rhaegar Targaryen. Click both characters in the tree to confirm it with the
built-in relationship finder.
Who fought in the Dance of the Dragons?
The Dance of the Dragons was the Targaryen civil war between Rhaenyra Targaryen
(the Blacks) and her half-brother Aegon II Targaryen (the Greens). Use the
"Dance of Dragons Focus" mode to highlight everyone involved.
Why did the Targaryens marry their siblings?
House Targaryen practiced incestuous marriage — brother to sister, uncle to
niece — to keep their Valyrian bloodline pure and their bond with dragons
unbroken. The tree colour-codes these unions so you can see which marriages
were between close kin.
Who was the Mad King in Game of Thrones?
The Mad King was Aerys II Targaryen, father of Daenerys, Rhaegar and Viserys.
He was the last Targaryen to sit the Iron Throne before Robert Baratheon, and
was slain by Jaime Lannister during Robert's Rebellion.
Are House Targaryen and House Stark related?
Yes — through Jon Snow, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, the two
houses are joined. The tree links House Stark of Winterfell into the wider
Targaryen lineage.
Who was the first Targaryen king?
Aegon I Targaryen, "the Conqueror," was the first Targaryen king. With his
sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys and their three dragons, he conquered six of
the seven kingdoms of Westeros and forged the Iron Throne.
