Why Rhaenyra Targaryen Would Never Make A Good Queen? 

Apologies, everyone. The Daenerys video has been taken down due to copyright issues.

I like Rhanerya but she was terrible at politics and wasn't nearly as smart as a monarch should be. Honestly, Jace, even as a teenager, would have made better decisions as a ruler.

in the dance of the dragons, there is not a single person who can be a good ruler. That's why dragons extinct...

Everyone's forgetting Daeron, Viserys sired three legitimate sons.

Now that I think about it, I realize Rhaenyra has never really done anything to SERVE the Realm throughout all the time Viserys was alive. The only thing that comes close is her sitting in Council meetings and MAYBE helping in decision making. We don’t even get any specifics of what she did or what she accomplished. More likely than not, she probably just did minor contributions (otherwise we would have heard about her great accomplishments). She gave more problems to her succession because of her scandal with Daemon and her 3 bastards. Instead of trying to solidify her claim, it’s like she purposefully just set herself up to fail because she thinks she can get away with it. She’s now facing the consequences.

I find it soooo strange that everyone compares Alicent to Cersei when Rhaenerya is a very one to one match with Cersei and Alicent as actually far more akin to Catelyn. Cersei and Rhaenrya: - Both have 3 bastard children who look nothing like their alleged fathers and yet are passed off as legitimate heirs - Is known to shirk duty and responsibility in favour of sexual escapades - Has incestous relationships with 2 men in their family - Thinks they are a lot smarter than they actually are which often leads them into bad situations Catelyn and Alicent - fights to make her son King after the death of her husband - woman who often finds herself sitting at the political table to make decision's with or about her son - woman who dutifully follows the faith of the seven - Truely loves her husband (although it's platonic for Alicent and more of a show thing.) Alicent and Cersei - Married a King - Portrayed negatively by the show

She wanted to be the ruler for the sake of being the ruler, not for the people, but for herself

Why I don't like Rhaenyra's faction boils down to one thing: they are the most extreme representation of Targaryen exceptionism. They feel entitled to do what they want and feel that they do not have to face the repercussions. We know this from the brothel scene with Daemon where he was encouraging Rhaenyra to do whatever she wants, to fuck whomever she wants. They miss the part where they live in a society held together by rules, both codified and unspoken, and if they want to change that, they can't just expect the world to lay down for them. No one wants to have a ruler that can't be held accountable for their mess and that's what Rhaenyra and her faction represents.

Here’s the thing, Viserys kind of set Rhaenyra up to fail. He made her heir but didn’t teach her how to rule (mostly because he didn’t truly understand how to rule), then he had true-born sons. Automatically, this would cause problems, problems which Viserys willfully didn’t see or thought he was above of. He cuddled Rhaenyra and taught her that she was also above rules and norms (which of course can be broken but most of the time they have to be subtly done as compared to the more outright way of Rhaenyra) (which also on its own is not a bad quality, but considering the society can cause problems for not only Rhaenyra herself, but the people around her as well). Rhaenyra’s learned from Viserys, who was lucky enough to reign during a peaceful time, but as we see, that kind of rule ultimately leads to war by inaction. Rhaenyra’s inaction is another contributor to the war, and it had deadly consequences for herself and her people.

The Targaryen were leech Lords, landlords of a foreign people. Refusing to interact or breed with them to keep their blood pure from the commons. Jaehaerys the conciliator was the first true ruler of a people and not some landlord with a dragon

rhaenyra is not fit to be queen. I never seen any reason to root for her. Both aegon ang rhaenyra is not fit to rule. She is the first woman to be the heir. So she should prove herself and pave the way to next future queens. But she just do whatever she like

I looked this up after wondering why people are praising her and acting like she's some great leader. Whether it's the show or the books, she's just awful and completely incompetent. It's almost as if she always makes the worst possible choices. One thing we can say for Danny, at least she was decisive; if a bit too harsh and naive at times. Rhaenyra and her mismanagement of Daemon alone is horrifically bad.

Please note also that in the show, Viserys REPEATEDLY pointed out his vivid dreams of having a son named Aegon to ascend him, wearing the conqueror’s crown. Him naming Rhaenyra as heir opposed that dream in many ways and proved his weakness even he cannot trust his so called “dragon dreams”.

I always wondered what made Viserys think that after how he gained the throne people were going to support Rhaenyra’s claim, specially because she had 3 male brothers in contrast to Rhaenys who was the only child of her father with no siblings at all. I believe Rhaenys would have made an excellent queen. Pd. I know she had support from some major houses but the war was meant to happen somehow.

Even the Iron Throne rejects her in the books. Every ruler who gets cut by the throne is unworthy.

Viserys had 3 trueborn sons.

I'll admit my first watch of the show I was quite empty headed and didn’t question anyone's motives and actions until my second vieweing, but I do remember being confused because Rhaenyra still had the same routine as before she was named the heir, now that she is to be queen shouldn’t she be taught law and how to rule? I found that odd but just kept watching since I really like the show

Anyone who can't see that Otto is the best option for the realm, doesn't understand the game of thrones

If Viserys truly prepared her, she would be. But right now, it seems impossible.

I agree with everything you said. Rhaenyra was always unfit to rule. I remember feeling the same way after I read Fire and Blood, even though the Greens weren't exactly the best people in the world either. Rhaenyra just always came across as a whiny, spoilt brat to me in the book, and I could tell that her ambitions for the throne weren't based on a sense of duty (e.g. like Stannis, for example). She was always just selfish and ruthless, though the show has certainly whitewashed these aspects of her personality.

The people who blindly support Rhaenyra (team black) tend to be the most casual of fans, it’s mainly just people who watched the show first. It’s the same people who defend Dany burning an entire city down for no reason (and hate Jon) while in the same breath calling the writing bad and saying she wouldn’t do it. The greens have the more logical fan base by a country mile, and those who don’t choose a side period tend to be even more based.

Dany isn’t entitled like Rhaenyra. She won her own battles and advanced to rule mereen. She also grew her army and her fleet. Yes she had a council, but every leader does.

Great analysis! While watching the vid, Alicent’s infamous line came to my mind, “Where is duty? Where is sacrifice? It’s trampled under your pretty foot again.” Her line basically coincides with what you said in 5:41, “What I see in Rhaenyra is an entitled woman who prioritizes her own interests over that of the Realm.” What has Rhaenyra ever done for the Realm as heir, really? Even as a child, she’s made the wrong choices time and again-and she just expects everyone to put it under the rug because she’s the princess. That’s definitely not what’s happening in hotd now. She’s paying the price of her mistakes more and more. Come to think of it, Alicent has done more for the Realm-ruling in Viserys’ stead when he was gravely ill and being active in politics. Sure, Alicent is facing troubles of her own in S2 (which are also partly her fault). But if we were to talk about duty between Rhaenyra and Alicent…I’d have to say that it’s Alicent who has done a lot more for the Realm throughout the years. The only time Rhaenyra did something for the Realm was (SPOILER ‼️‼️) that time in season 2 episode 6 where she gave food to King’s Landing. Again, for her own interest since she plans on winning the war. Plus, it wasn’t even her idea since it came from Mysaria.

I agree. This shows how well King George VI prepared his oldest daughter well to be Queen Elizabeth II, his heir. Elizabeth II proven herself why she is a worthy successor compared to Rhaenyra in the House of the Dragon.

Rhaenyra as heir was a disaster right after she tried to pass Jace of as trueborn Viserys should have disowned her and after she followed that by having two other bastards sons well. Viserys was not a good king himself a blinded himself to his daughters misdeeds. And to follow that up by Leanors suspicious death too boot. She would never have made a good Queen her side had no one that k re how to run a relam her closest advisers were Deamon that had run from ever form of responsibility and Corlys that had not sat the small council in years.

Couldnt agree more with ur statement. I only chose the greens because they know how to manage a kingdom unlike Rhaenyra given she gave the Greens 6 YEARS TO RULE. Rt for all her good heart says she will create a new order but does nothing to help herself, her children, her relationship and image with the people over the course of when she is named heir. 1. Has 3 obvious bastards 2, which weakens Rt claims n creates succession crisis 3. Supports a law that mutilates people( it’s TREASON TO TALK ABOUT MY TREASON) 4. Marries a man who was DENOUNCED as Heir which is the SOLE REASON y she was named heir in the first place. 5. Encourages her uncle publicly in FRONT OF HER FUTURE IN LAWS n help say that rumor was TRUE in episode 5. 6. Makes EVERYONE believe she killed her HUSBAND INCLUDING HER FOMER IN LAWS. 7 and 8 Marries a man who killed his FIRST WIFE AND IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE VALE WHICH IS ONR OF THE SIX KINGDOMS SHE WILL GOVERN N NEED SUPPORT IN THE UPCOMING WAR. 9. Didn’t visit her father for 6 years 10. Didn’t visit king landing for 6 years the place she will rule later. 11. Let greens RULE THE KINGDOM FOR 6 years 12. Didn’t build any alliances for 6 years on dragonstone. 13. trying to USURP THE DRIFTMART THRONE 14 and 15 last minute marriage proposals that were denied by Alicent and Rhaenys 16. Advocated for the torture of her brother in episode 7 17. Didn’t visit her father until she needed something from him a man who is loosing body parts by the minute. 18. Didnt know who her Allies were before she went to war. 19. Sleep with men knowing if they r caught they will be tortured n killed. (Criston +HARWIN) 20. Sent her sons REMINDER LETTERS to the LORDS SHE WILL NEED TO MAKE ALLIANCES 21. Offered NOTHING IN RETURN FOR THE ALLIANCES / EMPTY HANDS. Rt comes with to much baggage as an heir while Aegon faults are not publicly known and lets be honest Aegon will be doing what he and Rhaenyra was doing for the last 6 years lets Otto, Alicent, and the rest of the council do the work lolre of Westeros. I only chose the greens because they know how to manage a kingdom unlike Rhaenyra given she gave the Greens 6 YEARS TO RULE.

5:37 a critical difference between Rhae and Aegon. Aegon has a ton of similarities to Robert although he seems to have a better relationship with his brother than Robert.

It's crazy how different book and show renerya are. I've always been team green, but this just proves to me that the show is trying to push a Blacks -good, Greens-evil story. Also this seems to prove that they are making all the women, except Helena (from what i understand, Helena even in the books, was pretty much the only non-morally gray character in this story), the good guys, and all the men the bad guys in the show.

It's good to find someone else on the internet with some common sense *TEAM* *GREEN* *FOREVER*

Rhaenys, The Queen who never be was the Right one

Weird, Aegon was blamed for NOT practicing & studying (like Aemond did), but the same viewers consider the mistakes of Rhaenyra to be meaningless & harmless??? She was dumb enough to risk her future for a cheap-shot brothel visit. She demands instead of DOING anything to reach the goals. She neither trains the dragonriders (not of Pern), nor does ANYTHING royal or pro-house Targaryen. It COULD be a depiction of the madness that is subtly running in ALL the Targaryen bloodline.

i know this title of the show is house of the dragon and centered through the pov of targaryeans, so the show subconsciously makes people root for her, but she's completely incompetent. she has no allies, and had years to network and gain support but never even bother to. she stupidly have bastards who are clearly not looking like what valyerions look like...that itself shows her lack of political savviness. and lastly, she basically just throws around "i am the heir" and have no gravitas. and she is too dull to see daemon was using her as a stepping stone to rule. i dont think she's a bad person but she's just not fit to rule. it's not like the other option is great either but she has the worst claim to the throne. the only thing that she clinged on to is her father declaring her heir. sometimes going into the subreddit and reading the comments supporting her just make my eyes roll lol

As much as I like Viserys, he didn't do a good job raising Rhaenyra or Aegon to be good rulers. He really should have been there for them in their youth, when they were able to be molded into what a ruler should be. In fact, him declaring Rhaenyra the heir was a mistake when the possibility of remarrying and having a son was always there.

One of the things I liked about Fire and Blood that I don't like about HotD is that the former isn't trying to spread propaganda for one side, it gives the raw cold truth about both sides. It's adaptation however is clearly shilling for the Blacks

Even if the Dance didn’t happen, Rhaenyra’s rule was bound to be disastrous mostly because of the strong bastards problem. They’d would always be contest, and let’s not forget that I doubt that Daemon wouldn’t raise against them because of his trueborn sons right. I believe that in the end a civil war would have occurred anyway

A very well thought out video. Fans of the show tries to pretend that Rhaenyra is some “woman boss” where critics and dislikers dislike her because she’s solely a woman when the show is showing that neither party had any right to sit on the throne.

Rhaenys would have been the best choice for everyone.

Wow this is fax. I'm Team Green now lol.

Finally, someone is criticizing Viserys. His inaction was the cause of all this. I don't get why folks are saying he was their best character of S1

You said exactly how I felt about Rhaenyra!!! Thank you!!!

Vserys didn’t respect the past custom that made him King. His cousin was older but was passed on because she was a woman and now he expected the same people who didn’t want his older female cousin would stand behind the older female child. Also, Laenor was a bad rep for Rhaenyra. Sleeping around with minors enough the people were just sick of him. He is what we would call a “Predator” if not a “groomer”. Having illegitimate kids was just an icing on the cake for Rhaenyra in comparison what her husband does. At least she should have kept it hidden or find another Targaryen bastard to mess around instead of a Strong. Corlys had an indirect cause, he knew of his Son’s lack of interest in women, but the Lord of The Tides dismissed it as “I am not fond of fish, but I eat it when it’s served”. Yeah sexual orientation is not like eating fish or liking to eat fish.

Viserys should have changed the succession as soon as Aegon was born. He had long wanted to have a son and the realm also wanted it. What was the point of remarrying then?

While her brother Aegon would have been the opposite. Too good or too kind for his own good. Aegon wouldn't wanted anything but to please. The King Robert comparison is interesting because this characters didn't become alcoholic just to show us that they are bad people. But to look further in and realize that they are hurt and broken. For King Robert was Lenna but for Aegon is much more interesting. I believe Aegon since birth had his wings clipped like Sunfyre was after battle with the redqueen. A symbolism of Aegon's character, all for the betterment of Reynera chances at claiming the iron throne. Viserys was the reason for Aegon's alcoholism. The most beautiful dragon with his wings clipped from birth.

You are the only person who actually told the truth ❤love the video

I genuinely feel like people who watch HOTD and support the main characters did not watch GOT. Like, they had us rooting for characters like Tywin and Stannis. But, it does give us a glimpse into the mindset of a privileged House (with dragons, they consider themselves way above the rest of the Westerosi). Robert B. had to win the throne, Lannisters had to use force to keep the power and Tyrells and Starks etc. The Targaryens are above all that, they are better, whereas in GOT, they were in a sense, equal Houses, but Targaryens were above the others or atleast that's how they thought. I think that's the reason they do not solve their differences among themselves, because of this egoistic privilege. The political dynamics of HOTD is a bit different than GOT.

Viserys caused this mess. Naming his lame daughter heir when it shoulda been Daemon

anyone who supports rhaenyra loves her just because she is kinda hot

Rhaenyra spent her forming years as a brash, abrasive girl that scoffs at responsibility and being self-centered (Refusing to even consider political marrige, ignoring the implecations for Cole cuz she's horny), spent her adault years making bastards without even considering the consequences, runs away from court and responsibility AGAIN, and spends most of the present doing nothing, being indecisive and entitled. She is a failure in every aspect of nobility and rulership, and the fact that the show tries to paint her as a heroine rather than the villain she is annoys me to no end.

Viserys had 3 legitimate sons not 2

TV SHOW shows her in better way I would say. Does it mean they fcked it up already?

To be honest.... I think that Daeron the Daring would have been a good king

The only reason she failed was because she took the throne while a war was ongoing and the crown in debt thanks to Alicent and aegon spending most of it on the war and as long as both rhaenyera and aegon were alive it wouldn’t have ended and it didn’t anyway until Cregan showed up. Had she taken the throne in a peaceful time when she was suppose to it wouldn’t have happened viserys having male heirs didn’t help her situation at all.

Walder Frey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rhaenyra the clown

She's basically Mary, Queen of Scots.

She wasn’t a good ruler by far but by gods she’s better than Aemond and Aegon. She was willing to listen and learn and didn’t have a thirst for bloodshed

Family legacy on the line dragon pit under duress? She ran away.

You, Sir, are completely right.

WOW, I havent seen all of your video, but they resonate so much how I think. I also read the book and you describe her exactly as she came to be. You could see even in her youth she was careless and not fulfilling her duty, but not wanting anything to do with it, yet wanting power. Your video is so empowering for me, because thats exactly what I saw of her since season 1 and quite dislike how ppl around me judge her in favor all the time, while she was litterally being full of herself and lying and trying to shut truth... about her bastards and among other things.

Rhaenyra, in the books, warned her father that Laenor would be a bad match because he was known to only be interested in men but Viserys threatened to remove her as heir if she didn’t go through with the marriage. It was stupid to have illegitimate kids but, at the same time, she was forced into a marriage with a man everyone knew was gay.

Rhaenyra’s story is a tragedy because she was set up for failure…. No matter what decision she made, everyone would not be happy about it….. I blame Viserys personally…. It was a very open secret that Laenor would not be able to give her children… and as Heir, children was her responsibility and those children had to come from somewhere…. If she didn’t have kids with Hardin, they’d still say she’s shouldn’t be heir because she’s barren….. even if her children were legitimate, they’d probably say she told someone that looked like Laenor or that it’s Corlys’ child or bring up some other bullshit excuse…. Every time she tried to make moves as heir, she was undermined by Alicent, Otto when he was there and her own Father… I mean, why was she still cupbearer as heir??…. Not to mention, the tour….. Every decision Viserys made was viewed as he was going to sell her off somewhere….. Rhaenyra was basically being entangled in the mess of her family, trying to clean them up and then being blamed for everything from Daemon, to the Valeryons and to her father That’s what makes her story tragic…. Btw, for anyone saying that she would have slept with someone who looked like Laenor… who do you want her to sleep with? Corlys??…. Rhaenys would skin her alive Or Vaemond???… we all know how greedy he was Face it, She didn’t just sleep with Harwin just because…. She took someone she could trust not to be in situation where she could be blackmailed….

You are absolutely right Ser..!!

Her dad didnt prepare her at all honestly plus having three bastards child probably didnt help

In the show she seems to be more competent

I think the strongest argument should be besides her perception of the throne as her birth right why does she even want it at all.

I really believe that ANY of the characters of this story are good for the throne all of them are just thinking in themselves using the people or the crown responsabilities like an excuse, No one have the values that are needed to be a good leader.

"the crown must always win" Rhaenyra doesn't put her duty to the crown first, she doesn't seem to acknowledge that there is a duty at all.

aegon was way more “lustful” i would say

This is the best, most concise perspective of Rhaenyra I've seen so far. I care about Rhaenyra in the series, but Rhaenyra - book and series - makes way too many mistakes. Accepting that she is an ill-prepared, less than competent ruler does not mean that the opposite was true for Aegon II, of course. I'd like to think that if Good Queen Alysanne managed to persuade Jaeherys I to choose Rhaenys as his successor, the realm and the Targaryen dynasty would have been better off.

Rhaenyra fatal flaw is her lack of Soft Power. She doesn’t understand diplomacy, public image or political wit. Her son died but it never occurred to her to paint Aemond as a Kinslayer, whereas Otto instantly saw the propaganda value of Blood and Cheese. Rhaenyra and Dameon both think dragons are all they need to rule. Of the Smallfolk she believes: “Their opinions are of no consequence.”

It’s quite simple really, if Rhaenys cannot be queen then Aegon is the rightful heir

I like Alicent more...

I don’t even understand what people like about her? She’s horrible. Of course, they papered over a lot of this in the show to try to girlbossify her.

"Every ruler had bastards!" Baelor didn't. Also, none of the other rulers tried to place their bastards on the throne after them. Rhaenyra was breaking the social contract in Westeros, and the greens had every right to deny her.

I am team black, but I have to admit that both in the book and show, Rhanerya would be a terrible queen. She was impetuous, arrogant, and petty and refused to listen to wise advice. Despite having kids with Harwin Strong, she clearly had no real affection for him, which is obvious from how she hardly reacted to his death. If she wanted an open marriage, she could have chosen a Velaryon, Targaryen or Celtigar to satisfy her "appetite" and the kids would have had Valyrian features. Talking about the kids, she put them in danger by sending them away from Dragonstone without real protection but blamed everybody else when they were harmed. Then there is the issue of the dragonseeds. She did not realise that, depending on their parentage, some of the dragonseeds may have a stronger claim to the throne than her. Ultimately, I think she wanted to be a monarch because she felt powerless as a woman in a medieval society, and she thought she would gain true power, autonomy and control. Which just shows how naive she really was.

I agree with everything but you seem to forget that Fire and Blood takes place through the eyes of a maester who was bias towards the green so he might have twisted the story for her to look worse than she actually was

But believe me in real life history there's hundreds and thousands kings and queen who aren't meant to be kings and queens

Shes nothing without the dragons. Danaery T was popular because she liberated slaves and people loved her even without the dragons she was a well liked figure in early seaons

She could have had her bastard sons and dealt with it openly and then legitimized them. Forcing everyone in Westeros to partake in this charade cost her legitimacy. The show also portrayed very well during her tour of the riverlands how unfit a ruler she was. Arrogant, mocking her future vassals, letting 2 lords duel for her sake and just leaving them to return home. Viserys showed her all the mercy that not even his brother could expect.

Rhaenyra is what rhaena the black bride would have been as queen i always say that

Thank you for sharing your views, it really changes how I know her as a character

I would rather choose Maegor.

I know it will be a comment out of the storyline but especially in Dance of Dragons, they were all plot devices to make happen the civil war. George needed a civil war that would wipe out the dragons, and he made it happen with the wrong choices of multiple incompetent characters. In such a story, that's the only way. In ASOIAF, he firstly created characters and through them he develop the story. But in Fire and Blood, the civil war was always there, in ASOIAF some characters mentioned about it, and when it came to Fire and Blood, he had to fill the gaps. That's why they all seem incompetent, failing bunch of people.

Don't confuse courage to Entitled.. 🤦

Three legitimate sons don’t forget Dearon

The Queen who Never Was would have been a great king

Uma rainha fraca filha de um rei ainda mais fraco. Nunca teve um pingo de dever durante a vida toda e esperava que o dormindo iria ganhar o jogo dos tronos. Foi irresponsável ao extremo em todos os pontos cruciais de sua vida, botou 3 bastardos no mundo, insistiu em ficar ao lado do principal risco do pai dela (Daemon), fugiu de Kingslanding e deixou os verdes fazerem fincarem ainda mais suas raizes. Mereceu perder a guerra e nunca mereceu o trono.

I think book and movie might have it different. In the movie, Rhaenyra is depicted as a good mother who deeply cares about her children. She is gentle and knows how to love. She is humane, whereas Alicent is more robotic, having considered herself a dutiful person who has set her own desires aside. Rhaenyra might not be the best queen, but she is stubborn, innovative (as seen when she found dragon riders), brave, and careful at the same time (as she tried to avert the war). She’s definitely not like Daenerys because she had doubts about being the heir and wasn’t paranoid or eager to set fire to everyone who disagreed with her.

Dumbnerys Targeryan first of that name, the unlearnt, mother of harlots

In the book, GRRM goes out of his way to avoid confirming the bastard nature of the three boys, so let's not take it as a well-established fact here.

Somebody had to make video like this.

The link for the Daenerys video is not appearing.

In the books, the story is told from a biased perspective and should be interpreted as such. What is made "clear" is more often than not a lie, a misinterpretation, or information from an untrustworthy source. Once you realize that the truth is much harder to grasp.

Enough of the Maegor slander

Where is the video about Daenerys?

women, am i right

Firstly, the show version of her is not the same as the book version. And she was forced to marry a gay man, so the only likely way she could have any children would be through a paramour. Also, the 'true born' argument is all well and good but so was naming a successor - which he did. In fact, that is how HE was on the throne too. Book Rhaenyra aka the Realm's delight because of the tours she did of Westeros in her youth was married young and then had the business of producing children. But im sure you would also blame her if she hadnt had any children! Vicerys is the main problem here. He shouldnt have remarried and to her friend no less, and then had more children which put her position in jeopardy despite the succession had already been decided and reinforced several times. Her move to Dragonstone was brought aboit because Alicent was constantly berrating her and making her own children despise Rhaenyra even though she had done nothing to her brothers and sister. And Alicent, is she had indeed been a close friend, shouldnt have seduced her friends father (after he unsuccessful attempts at seducing the previous king!) but again, its her father who pushed her to do this to give himself more power. And if she had been a man, and screwed half the kingdom, no one would be calling him a whore. The double standards are infuriating! Its a shame she was forced to marry a man totally unsuitable and hadnt married Daemon as they both wished. Then there wouldnt have been as much of an issue.

Thank you for the great video ❤

To Rhaenrya's claim, Viserys never did prepared her to be honest. He always wanted a male heir who will bear The Conquer's crown and name. He only see her as a princess. Only when his wife and his son had died he saw Rhaenrya has his heir.and he never prepared her also when he choose her. How a heir should be , how a heir should act like, the traits. He only spoiled her and except the realm to be loyal to him and his heir since he believes the king's words is final and hold values.

I blame her father solely. A never sat her in the small concil or taught her anything. But just as property in the modern world parents leave behind we chase it.

someone enlighten me on this? couldn't Viserys just said that Rhaenyras first born male son will inherit after his death, instead of her?? would that solve anything?
