saerras:#danceofthedragonsweek2021 The Greens Their name derives from a great tournament held in 111 AC at King’s Landing on the fifth anniversary of the King Viserys I’s marriage to Queen Alicent Hightower, his second wife. At the opening feast, Queen Alicent wore a green gown, whilst Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys’ daughter by his first wife, dressed dramatically in Targaryen red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter their respective factions at the royal court imitated the fashions they set - the queen’s party dressing in green, and the princess’s party dressing in black. In time, it became the custom to refer each party as simply the greens and the blacks. -- source link
