Was brynden rivers legitimized?
Ser Brynden Rivers, called “Lord Bloodraven”, was the bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen by his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in 184 AC. Brynden’s personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field.
Who was the 3 eyed Raven before brynden rivers?
Bran’s Three-Eyed Raven predecessor was the last greenseer human living beyond the Wall with the Children of the Forest. Portrayed by Max von Sydow in season 6, the Three-Eyed Raven guides Bran – who possesses greensight – to the cave where his human body lives before teaching him the wisdom that comes with his gift.
Why is daemon the ‘default’ royal name for House Blackfyre?
Certainly Daemon seems to have become the ‘default’/go-to royal name for House Blackfyre in a similar way to how Aegon became the ideal name for a king in House Targaryen. It’s hard to imagine any Targaryen naming a son Daemon after the Blackfyre Rebellions.
Are there non-Targaryen names for the Targaryens?
As the Freys with Targaryen names (and princes with very non-Valyrian names like Joffrey or Duncan) attest pretty much everyone can have a Targaryen or a non-Targaryen name. The Targaryens were usually named by their father or grandfather; many of the bastards seem to have been named by their mothers.
Why do Targaryen descendants pick Valyrian/Targaryen names?
Targaryen descendants are likely picking Valyrian/Targaryen names for their children because of the the context they were raised in. It matters not whether the child is illegitimate or the child of woman. At least not while the name used is obviously a Targaryen or Valyrian name.
Are the Targaryen children of Maekar called Brightflame?
They would be Blackfyre names, (because I’m still unsure what a Brightflame is), but the supposition is there. Aerion Targaryen (son of Maekar) was called “Aerion Brightflame”. It’s unclear if his legitimate son Maegor left issue, or if he left any bastards (IIRC George suggested he had in Lys).
