Elaena Targaryen wife of Aenar
Not to be confused with Elaena Targaryen · Elaena Targaryen.
Elaena Targaryen was one of Aenar Targaryen's wives and the mother of at least one of his daughters, Daenys, the girl who dreamed of Valyria's ruin before it came. The novels never name her; it is House of the Dragon that gives her one, in a history document glimpsed briefly on screen.
Through that daughter, much of the House Targaryen that later ruled in Westeros descends from her as well.
