artosstark:Pre ASOIAF Ladies 3/?Daena “The Defiant” Targaryen“Daena was the eldest daughter of Aegon III and Daenaera of House Velaryon, and was born around 145 AC. She had two brothers and two sisters. At a early age, Daena was married to her brother Baelor. Daena and Baelor’s marriage was an unhappy one, with her pious brother obsessed by the Faith of the Seven. Baelor refused to consummate their marriage and had it dissolved when he ascended the Iron Throne, after Daena’s elder brother King Daeron I died in Dorne.After Baelor’s ascension, Daena and her sisters, Rhaena and Elaena, were confined to their own apartments in the Red Keep, which soon became known as the Maidenvault, so the sight of them would not tempt Baelor or others in his court to mortal lusts. Daena was sixteen at this time.During her time of confinement at the Maidenvault, Daena escaped several times and had an affair with her cousin Prince Aegon, despite his marriage to his own sister-wife Naerys. When she became pregnant she refused to name the father of the child and became known as “Daena the Defiant”. Her son was born robust and healthy, with the purple eyes and silver-gold hair of the Targaryens. Daena named the boy Daemon and raised him alone. The father was only revealed years later when King Aegon IV Targaryen gave Daemon the ancestral Targaryen sword Blackfyre, acknowledging him as one of his bastards, while also legitimizing him.” -- source link
