For the longest time, the “official” story was that Rhaegar had kidnapped Lyanna because he was obsessed with her and raped her. Lyanna Stark gave birth to a baby boy while in the Tower of Joy, under Rhaegar Targaryen’s protection. But just how does all of that work again? Just how are they related? Read on for details and see a family tree.Ĭounter to what Jon Snow was told all his life, Jon is not, in fact, Ned Stark’s son, but rather the child of Lyanna Stark (Ned’s sister). It’s a little awkward since they’re related. Most of the husbands and wives have also dropped off the tree if they don't play a part in the story, and so have many 'extra' children.On Game of Thrones, Jon Snow and Daenerys are now romantically involved. That would be marvellous if we had unlimited space, like the inside of Martin's imagination, but alas we have to fit it on a typical phone screen.Īs we can't possibly cover them all, we've limited ourselves to the people who appear in House of the Dragon or Game of Thrones and/or who are central to the direct line of Targaryen succession. Modelling his dynasties on the royal houses of Europe, George RR Martin has faithfully given everyone loads of kids, with extra brothers and sisters and bonus dodgy uncles, and every one of them has a distinct personality and bloody history. Our chief problem is that there are just too many people involved. (You'd think that would keep things simpler, but no-o-o, not when you're drawing a family tree.) So we've had to makes some arbitrary rules, much like a Targaryen king or queen would. It's not easy, of course – never is with Targaryens, what with their insistence on in-breeding. Whether you're a fan of House of the Dragontrying to keep up with the dynastic developments, a Game of Thrones fan wondering where it all began, or a member of the Targaryen family looking for singles in your area, this is the article for you.
