"It is declared by all lords paramount and lords vassal of the Seven Kingdoms that Prince Viserys Targaryen be made Prince of Dragonstone. " declared Jaeherys as he read some paper.
Rhaenys, a woman, would not inherit the Iron Throne. The lords instead chose Viserys, my father. Jaehaerys called the GReat Council to prevent a war being fought over his succession . For he knew the cold truth. The only thing that could tear down the House of The Dragon was itself..
