That Night, Septon Eustace Reports, Ser Criston Cole Slipped Into The Princesss Bedchamber To Confess

“That night, Septon Eustace reports, Ser Criston Cole slipped into the princess’s bedchamber to confess his love for her. He told Rhaenyra that he had a ship waiting on the bay and begged her to flee with him across the narrow sea. They would be wed in Pentos or Tyrosh or Old Volantis, where her father’s writ did not run, and no one would care that he had betrayed his vows as a member of the Kingsguard. His prowess with sword and morningstar was such that he did not doubt he could find some merchant prince to take him into service. But Rhaenyra refused him. She was the blood of the dragon, she reminded him, and meant for more than to live out her life as the wife of a common sellsword. And if he could set aside his Kingsguard vows, why would marriage vows mean any more to him?”

And yet it was HER (a 16 year old girl) who 'seduced'(🤮) HIM(a 31 year old man)??

This is a man who has watched this child of SEVEN grow up into a 'women'. He has seen her grief and mourn her late mother. Seen her get mocked by her 'stepmother'. Seen her get challenged every waking moment.

And yet there are defending “poor” Criston’s honor and person, calling Rhaenyra is a wh*re because she seduced a grown man?.

Not once does Rhaenyra mention him after what happened, NOT ONCE. Criston on the other hand calls her a wh*re every chance he gets, sided against her, cause HAVOK during her wedding, convinced her half brother to take the throne just so wouldn't be queen. Full on died just so she wouldn't be queen

Rhaenyra never thought of him, and he spent the rest of his life abominating her.

That sounds exactly like a man who would throw acid on a woman because he was rejected by her.

Sometimes I like to make simple edits to entertain myself 😂 They're not a big deal but I like them and I think they look good like Aemma and Rhaenyra because they look alike? I don't know, it seems that way to me xd✌️

WHAT IF, PRINCESS VISENYA TARGARYEN HAD LIVED?

(DAUGHTER OF QUEEN RHAENYRA AND PRINCE DAEMON TARGARYEN )

Stayyest baby girl ever

Viserra Targaryen

'Rhaenyra Targaryen and her yellow dragon Syrax'

Not only is this AI generated but this is used as a reference for 'book Rhaenyra' all the time.

It is said "she never lost the weight she gained during her pregnancies, and she had grown stout and thick of waist at the age of twenty after her third pregnancy." NOT "she became super morbidly obese".

She went through THREE pregnancy before 20.

And the chances are this girl was short short, both Rodrik Arryn and Daella Targaryen are short, naturally Mama Aemma is going to be short aswell. Rhaenyra could very well take after her mother's side, and be short queen, therefore appearing fatter than she actually is.

And her being overweight somehow makes her less worthy of the throne? Her father King Viserys I was very obese, eventually dying because of it. Both Aegon and Helaena were fat.

Atleast Rhaenyra can say she is fat because of the pregnancies. What can Aegon or Helaena give as a reason. (before you come at me, both of them were described as being fat/plump BEFORE their wedding)

At the fact it would not have mattered if Rhaenyra was overweight or not, if not for her rivalry with Alicent, who is described as being thin 'even after four pregnancies'

The official portrait of Rhaenyra commissioned by GRRM himself

A few other official pieces of Rhaenyra once again commissioned by GRRM.

Again, she is not a skinny legend in any of these, but not some 300 pound(136kg) woman either.
