Death of Rhaenyra Targaryen
muerte de Rhaenyra Targaryen
The death of Rhaenyra Targaryen at Dragonstone ended the reign of the first woman to sit the Iron Throne of Westeros. Captured after the castle fell, the queen was handed over to the dragon of her half-brother and rival, Aegon II, in front of her own son.
Her death stood as one of the final, and cruellest, episodes of the Dance of the Dragons.
