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.
