The official heir to the Iron Throne is being pushed to marry a suitable noble to further ensure the strength of House Targaryen<\/a> and create a marriage alliance.<\/p>\n King Viserys I Targaryen<\/a> (Paddy Considine) makes clear that Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock<\/a>) will need to marry someone of his own choosing, following her inability to find her own husband.<\/p>\n This is also following her encounters with both her own kingsguard Ser Criston Cole<\/a> (Fabien Frankel) and her roguish uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen<\/a> (Matt Smith), each of whom may be hopeful to one day marry her.<\/p>\n So, who will Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen marry? Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p> Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen is told by her father King Viserys I Targaryen to marry Ser Laenor Velaryon.<\/strong><\/p>\n Next week\u2019s episode, We Light the Way, sees King Viserys visit Driftmark to discuss the match with Ser Laenor\u2019s parents, Lord Corlys Velaryon<\/a> (Steve Toussaint) and Princess Rhaenys Targaryen<\/a> (Eve Best), the \u2018Queen Who Never Was\u2019.<\/p>\n Rhaenyra has received multiple potential suitors, including the considerably wealthy Lord Jason Lannister<\/a> (Jefferson Hall) and \u2013 unknowingly \u2013 her own uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen.<\/p>\n However, the trailer for next week\u2019s episode teases a royal wedding, so it seems Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor Velaryon<\/a> will marry.<\/p>\n Ser Laenor is gay \u2013 and with a lover in Ser Joffrey Lonmouth (Solly McLeod) \u2013 and Princess Rhaenyra has a lover in Ser Criston Cole, but it would seem neither is letting this get in the way of their union.<\/p>\n While this is how events are progressing in the show, who does Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen marry in the book Fire and Blood?<\/p>\n Well, look away now if you wish to avoid potential spoilers<\/strong> for the show and actual spoilers<\/strong> for the book.<\/p>\n In the book Fire and Blood, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen does indeed marry Ser Laenor Velaryon.<\/strong><\/p>\n The pair go on to \u2013 officially at least \u2013 have three sons. These boys are:<\/p>\n The third son is named after Ser Laenor\u2019s lover, Ser Joffrey Lonmouth.<\/p>\n However, in the book, it is rumoured that the Princess\u2019s children by Ser Laenor are actually sired from an adulterous affair with Ser Harwin Strong, the Heir to Harrenhal, but it remains to be seen how the series will adapt this.<\/p>\n However, despite the relative success of this union, Rhaenyra does eventually go on to take a second husband, her uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen.<\/strong><\/p>\n The pair go on to have three children together:<\/p>\n The first child is named after Aegon the Conquerer (awkward considering this is also the name of Rhaenyra\u2019s half-brother and rival claimant to the Iron Throne), the second is named after her father, while the third is named after Queen Visenya Targaryen, the wife of Aegon the Conquerer.<\/p>\n Ultimately, Rhaenyra has two husbands (not at the same time) and gives birth to six children.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, it is disputed in the book as to whether Rhaenyra ever consummated a romance with Ser Criston Cole, but either way, the two go from a close relationship to enemies.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong><\/p>\n House of the Dragon premiered on Sky Atlantic and\u00a0NOW<\/a>\u00a0on Monday 22nd August 2022.
