All Targaryen roads lead to Danaerys Targaryen. The Game of Thrones heroine was our introduction to the silver-haired family, and now there’s a whole spinoff, House of the Dragon, about her ancestors fighting with each other. Rhaenyra, for example, is about her sixth-great-grandmother (the “about” accounts for all the inbreeding that makes genealogy difficult).
At first, it seemed like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms would distance itself from this iconic family, but Episode 3 changed everything. But the Game of Thrones character it had the biggest tie to wasn’t Daenerys — it was someone you may have forgotten was a Targaryen at all.
