“Against all that, Rhaenyra’s advantages were few. Some older lords might yet recall the oaths they had sworn when she was made Princess of Dragonstone and named her father’s heir. There had been a time when she had been well loved by highborn and commons alike, when they had cheered her as the Realm’s Delight. Many a young lord and noble knight had sought her favor then … though how many would still fight for her, now that she was a woman wed, her body aged and thickened by six childbirths, was a question none could answer. Though her half brother had looted their father’s treasury, the princess had at her disposal the wealth of House Velaryon, and the Sea Snake’s fleets gave her superiority at sea. And her consort Prince Daemon, tried and tempered in the Stepstones, had more experience of warfare than all their foes combined. Last, but far from least, Rhaenyra had her dragons.”

Left to right: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (the Queen That Never Was), Rhaena Targaryen, Baela Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys II Targaryen, Aegon III Targaryen, Jacaerys Velaryon, Lucerys Velaryon, Corlys Velaryon and Joffrey Velaryon.

Jonerys again!

I couldn’t decide which version to post, beard or no beard, so here’s both. Even though book Jon has a beard now, I like how boyish he looks without one too.
