To help you navigate this fiery family tree, let's break it down into digestible parts, making the complex history a bit easier to follow.

The Origins: Aegon the Conqueror

The Targaryen saga begins with Aegon I, known as Aegon the Conqueror, who united Westeros under his rule around 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Alongside his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, Aegon used his dragons to subdue the Seven Kingdoms, establishing the Iron Throne as the seat of power in Westeros.

One of the most confusing aspects of the Targaryen family is their fondness for recycling names. There are multiple Aegons, Rhaenyras, and even Viseryses throughout their history, each with their own dramatic stories.
