House Targaryen is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. Targaryen’s seat is located in Dragonstone, their sigil consists of a red three-headed dragon on a black field and their words are “Fire and Blood” This House conquered and unified the Seven Kingdoms which made them sovereigns of Westeros during many centuries. In addition, they have a long tradition of raising up and controlling dragons, which made them invincible in the past.

The main members of House Targaryen who appear on the show are:

• Aerys II Targaryen. He was the last Targaryen seated in the Iron Throne. However, he was called “the Mad King” as he succumbed to madness because of a long incestuous lineage. He did not have much influence on dragons anymore and he ruled with tyranny. These are the reasons why a revolution started which led to a Civil War that ended with the murder of Aerys by Jaimie Lannister and the beginning of Robert Baratheon’s reign. He had three children: Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys.
