The Targaryen family were the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms for about 300 years, and they were originally descended from the senior lords of the ancient free stronghold of Valyria from the continent of Essus. It was said that their hair color was golden, silver or white.
Due to the chaos and carnage faced by the Targaryen family, the ancestors of Aegon the Dragon escaped from the desolation of Valyria, and chose to settle in Dragonstone, a rocky island at the narrow sea, and then began to conquer the Seven Kingdoms.
In order to maintain their pure bloodline, the Targaryens married each other, and the brother married his two sisters, and they had many children.
The Targaryen flag consists of a red three-headed dragon, symbolizing Aegon and his two sisters, on a black background, and their symbol is "fire and blood".
The author of the book and series, author George R. Martin, sparked controversy after describing the House Of The Dragon series as similar to the tragedy of the famous English poet and playwright William Shakespeare.
George R. Martin said, "Here in House of the Dragon, there's no 'Arya Stark' here. There's no character everyone loves. They're all human here, they all make mistakes and do good and bad things. Yes, they're thrust into power, jealousy, and old wounds, just like humans as you wrote them." in my book.
