How much do you know about the history of the Tagrian family where the dragon mother Daenerys is in "Game of Thrones"
Taglian Crest and Proverbs
The motto of the Targaryen family: the same blood and fire; the emblem of the Targaryen family: the three-headed dragon; the current patriarch of the Targaryen family: Daenerys Targaryen; the Targaryen family believes in religion: the seven gods .
Ruins of Valyria
The Taglian family are not natives of Westeros, but "refugees" from Valyria on the Essos continent. In the works of George R.R. Martin, the rise and fall of the Tagrian family is very dramatic, showing the reader the final outcome of the high-tech ethnic group ruling the backward areas.
Daenerys and her dragon
Valyria has technologies far beyond Westeros, such as smelting and forging technology and dragon training. The Valyrian steel weapons produced by Valyria are still the best weapons in Westeros, and the dragons are a lingering nightmare for the people of Westeros.

Valyria is so powerful and wealthy, but the Taglian family does not mix well in Valyria. Although not particularly miserable, among the forty nobles of Valyria, Taglian is the last one. Twenty years before the fall of Valyria, the Taglian family moved to Westeros and settled in Dragonstone Fort. The reason is that the patriarch Inar Taglian gave birth to his own daughter and dreamed of the destruction of Taglian.
Some scholars also believe that this was the final helpless choice of Taglian being excluded in Valyria, and the collapse of Valyria was a coincidence, which was later touted as a successful prophecy. However, it is said that some members of the Taglian family do have the ability to "predict dreams", and no one knows the final truth.
This "map table" exposes Aegon's ambitions
In the more than 100 years between the collapse of Valyria and the conquest of Westeros by Aegon, Targaryen stayed on Dragonstone Island to recuperate until Aegon Targaryen appeared. In Valentis’s attempt to recreate the glorious war in Valyria, Aegon Taglian had a brief cooperation with the Algier Duranden mentioned yesterday. Aegon was in that battle. Showed amazing combat effectiveness in the battle.

Algila Durandon admired Aegon, so he wanted to recruit him under his command to play for himself. In his eyes, a Xiaopo family leaning on Dragonstone Island should be ecstatic about his recruitment. Unexpectedly, Aegon actually admired him, but it was not his combat effectiveness, but his power. At the same time, Aegon also "appreciated" several other kings of Westeros. For the reasons mentioned yesterday, Aegon declared war on the seven kingdoms at the same time with his own power. These seven kingdoms are: Northern Kingdom (Northern), Valley Kingdom (Valley), Heyu Kingdom (Iron Islands), Kaiyan Kingdom (Western Territory), River Bay Kingdom (River Bay Land), Storm Kingdom (Storm Land), and Dorn Kingdom (Dorn).
The dragon is a "strategic weapon"
This war is called: the war of conquest. In terms of military strength, the Taglian family is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage, but they have the ultimate weapon that far exceeds the strength of Westeros: the dragon. After the fall of Valyria, the Taglian family became the only remaining family with dragons. Before Aegon conquered Westeros, the people on Westeros had no lethal power against the dragons. concept.
Little King of Wisania and the Valley of the Kingdom
So Aegon Targaryen used victories one after another to make the dragon leave an indelible impression in the hearts of Westeros. The specific conquest process is not detailed here. Aegon first turned Herrenberg into an oven and eliminated the Hall family; then he chopped off the head of the last Storm King; then burned it out with a fire. All the blood of the gardener's family and King Yan Kai surrendered in fright; the king of the north went out of the city to surrender after hearing about the results of several wars; the king of the valley kingdom was young at the time, and his mother was in charge of the government because the valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack. So they choose to defend. Unexpectedly, Visonia (Aegon's wife is also his sister) rode a dragon directly to the palace garden, flicking the little king to fly on a dragon. After flying down a lap, the little king was very happy, and his mother was convinced, how can he defend it? Everyone flew to your back garden, so the Valley Kingdom surrendered.
Dorn
The only ones who persisted in resisting were the Dorne. Dorn is located in the desert and the climate is hot. The Dornites also tried not to confront Tagrian and chose guerrilla tactics instead, which caused a headache for Tagrian's army. The war between Targaryen and Dorn lasted for nine years, but with the help of having a dragon, Targaryen failed to win Dorn. Even Queen Renice and her dragon, who led the Tagrian army to attack Dorne, fell in this war. The bed crossbow for shooting the dragon that appeared in the seventh season of "Game of Thrones" was modified on the basis of Don's dragon shooting crossbow.

Although the Dorn people paid a considerable price in this war, they kept Dorn's independence. But after more than 200 years of conquering the war, Taglian used the peace and treaty to finally include Dorn in his territory. Of course, compared to the families that surrendered early, the Dornites were less restrained.
From the time Aegon began to conquer the war to the death of the mad king Iris, Targaryen has ruled Westeros for more than 280 years. In Martin's writings, in the past 280 years, Taglian has not only appeared to rule the world, but also has a mediocre ruler. During this period, many major incidents took place. The first turning point of Tagrian’s rule was the famous "Dance of the Blood Dragon." This was the first civil strife during the rule of the Taglian family. "Fire Rebellion" is also a civil unrest.
"The tragedy of Midsummer Hall" began with the desire to hatch dragon eggs
However, the Targaryen rule began to weaken because of the "dragon bane" Aegon III. During his reign, the last dragon died and the Targaryen family completely lost the "strategic weapon" that frightened other nobles. The real decline began with Aegon V. A "tragedy of the Midsummer Hall" killed most Tagli in the sea of flames, and with this tragedy, Prince Rega was born.
Prince Regga
Prince Rega is not only handsome, high-status, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as very strong martial arts. This made him the most sought-after "diamond eldest fifth" in the dynasty. Tywin Lannister, the king's hand, wanted to marry Targaryen, but the mad king Iris refused this request. Rega subsequently married Ilia Martell, the daughter of Prince Dorn, but this political marriage obviously did not satisfy Rega.
Leona Stark and Rega
So in the "Wrong Spring" Helenberg Tournament, Rega and Ned's sister: Leona Stark fell in love at first sight. At the end of the same year, the two eloped. However, the Stark family did not think that their daughter eloped with others. They agreed that Rega had taken Leona abducted, so Ned's brother Brandon Stark was furious and went to find the Mad King Yi. Reese settled the accounts. As a result, not only did he catch up with himself, but his father was killed.

The mad king also asked the lord of the valley, Jon Ayrin, to hand over Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark to his disposal. The three of them summed up: death is also death today, large plans are also death, waiting for death , What about the dead country? Or let's go the other way. As a result, the famous "Usurer War" took place, and the latter thing was already mentioned by Uncle Mei in the previous articles.
