Chola empire family tree?
Gaemon Targaryen married Daenys the Dreamer. Aegon the conqueror's mom was a Velaryon.
The Rhoynar wasn't include until the marriage of Daeron II Targaryen and Myriah Martell.
1st link to Game of thrones is Bloodraven was a bastard son of Aegon IV the Unworthy
I thought about it too!
To think one author just imagined all of this in his head and now we’re here talking about it as if it was real history that can be picked apart and studied, it’s honestly impressive
In a thousand years there will be people debating if there were actually dragons or if that was a metaphor for some deeper message.
I can name at least one other author who managed this before. You may have heard about him, his name is J.R.R. Tolkien.
It would be more impressive if he could finish the story he created the world for
He didn't really "create" it though--GoT is wisely known as a kind of European history mash-up. If you want to read something that was wholly created by it's author, try LoTR. Or anything by Tolkien.
GRRM's story loosely follows England's "Wars of the Roses" and prior history. He laid that over his own detailed worldbuilding skill and the dragons made it extra spicy. The Red Wedding was based on a real event as well.
Jaehaera Targaryen is not the mother of Aegon III’s children. She dies as a child and Aegon remarries to a Velaryon
Thanks. I've uploaded a corrected version of the chart here:

@@UsefulCharts What about Maelor (Aegon and Helaena's third child)?
Yeah we also know alicents mom -Alerie Florent-
@@Tgsva352 thats for the show, its not in the books.
Was about to comment on that, the green faction is completely destroyed
12:15 The family tree here is wrong. While Aegon III and Jaehaera marry, she dies in childhood. Daeron I and Baelor the Blessed were the children of Aegon III and his second wife Daenaera Velaryon

Because of Unwin Peake. All my homies hate Unwin Peake.
Yeh all of that side of the family perished.
Only possible line would be from Aegon's bastards or Aemond's rumoured bastard son.
Great chart thank you so much! Absolutely love the design!❤
Only addition I would have loved to see is the connection with Brydan Rivers aka Bloodraven, as he also prominently appears in the GOT series.
really cool, but missing a lot of the adjacent descendants, like many of the jaehaerys's children and the great bastards (bloodraven, bittersteel, shiera seastar etc) who played a massive role in the blackfire rebellions
And Jaehaerys's valeryon mother too
In the words of CGP Grey, grand maester, “not every child matters”.
Had the video included everyone mentioned in Fire and Blood or the world book, it would have been 200 minutes long, not 20 minutes long. :-)
@@szbszig every Targaryan children (just some are missing) and the most notable bastards (daemon blackfire, bloodraven, bittersteel etc), that's what I meant
To be fair, Jaehaerys had 13 children lol the fact that I can name them all from memory and how they died, shhhhh don't ask lmao
Jaehaera died young, and Aegon III maried a Velaryon, with her he had children, not Jaehaera
Came here to find a comment like this, or make one if needed. Aegon III married Jaehaera, but she died tragically similar to her mother, Helaena, while still a child. Aegon then marries a Velaryon cousin of Baela and Rhaena (who became an orphan from the Dance) named Daenaera. Aegon and Daenaera are the parents of Daeron, Baelor, Daena, Rhaena and Elaena.

There's also hints that the Blackfyres didn't go extinct and that the POV character in the books (that did not appear in the show) Aegon (who is claimed to be the son of Rhaegar and his wife Elia Martell) is actually a Blackfyre descendant (possibly by his mother and Illyrio Mopatis), some theorize that Varys may also be a Blackfyre.
this video seems to focus on the show version of events (although including history that isn't exactly explained in full in the show from the books). So aegon in the books doesn't exist here and thus no info about the blackfyre's surviving (although ofc i agree with the theory that aegon is a blackfyre)
Since Robert Baratheon is a Targaryen, then Gendry is a Targaryen. Jon Snow is not the last Targaryen.
This came out of nowhere and I was sooo happy to see it!
As someone who's deep in all the theories about the whole things, i think you did a great job. It would be cool to see a book version of this tree and also to see one with all the important families in westeros and essos. It will be infinitely more complex but so so cool! Also, if you include some book happenings, i think more people would see past the superficial portrayal of what happens in the show (I say this in a totally neutral way!) And would totally get hooked on all the theories. Some theories are backed by so much book evidence, that it's sad nobody knows it when just watching the show.
Anyways, I love your videos, especially this one!
Just to point out that the Targaryans also married a cousin Velaryon when they did not have a sister available. Aenys Tarygary married a Velaryon and also the father of Aegon the Conqueror. So it is pretty much Cousin-Sister-Cousin-Sister and so goes on until Viserys II (who probably married a distant relative because she was also Valyria descendent). I believe they only married a not relative 3 times in history.
I'm an old retired teacher and I have tried for weeks to keep everything straight with the House of Dragons season 1 and now 2. I will binge this site for so many other interesting charts... oh how I wish I had known about this site before I retired teaching.
I mean the show makes it clear that John Snow didn't take those celibacy vows too seriously, even prior to abandoning his position at the wall, so who knows?
I kinda took the end as John Snow going to live north of the wall, with ghost and his wildling friends
Technically, Jon didn't vow to be celibate, he vowed to "take no wives and father no children," which, he never did, so technically he's in the clear. Everyone knows "technically correct" is the best kind of correct.
I literally just finished rewatching the show like half an hour ago and just saw this hahaha
Please do the family tree of the Kings of Gondor and Arnor
Thank you for this. There are a lot of other videos on this that are confusing. I like how this one almost immediately relates to the show and how you didn't rush through it.
I wasn't going to watch any spoilers but the video was so interesting that I didn't resist and watched anyway.
thats so funny I was just watching the other video to get a recap. lol now we got the new video. nice work
I think I memorised the list of targaryen kings from wtaching this content a lot , and they're not much only 17 kings , plus some princes and pretenders like Rheanyra & Blackfyres , btw team Green for the one true King Aegon 💚💚👑
It's crazy to think that Danearys shares 100% of blood with Aegon the conqueror. They did a reaaaaaly good job at keeping the blood pure. It pretty much confirms that the Targaryans are magic, because if a normal human family had this level of incest, the bloodline wouldn't even make it to Viserys, and somehow Danearys is born to centuries of 100% incest with 0 new blood introduced, and somehow has zero deformities (besides going crazy). With a normal human, that is biologically impossible. And all that is without considering that we don't even know how far back the incest goes. It could be all the way from Valyria, and that's straight up crazy to think about. Their blood must be godly considering they went up until Aerys II before they started going crazy.
That's not true though, in Daenerys direct lines some Targaryen males marry non-Targaryen women or half Targaryen women. Viserys I 's wife Aemma is half Arryn and Daeron II marries a Martell. Maekar I (Master Aemon's dad) marries a Dayne. Aegon V (Daenerys great grandpa) marries a Blackwood. Not sure why the video leaves out most of the non-Targ women. So there is some new blood in the older generations but yeah both her grandparents and parents were brothers and sisters, which in the real world would not have worked out at all 😂
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Error at 06:36, Jaehaerys (or the Lords at the council of 101) had to choose between Viserys and Laenor, not Rhaenys. The show just worded it strangly to make up an conflict of female and male.
You can also track the Baratheon family tree a little bit. After Orys, come Davos, then come Rhogar, followed by Boremund, followed by Borros, then by his infant son Oliver. Especially considering Rhogar's children are born of the same mother as Jaehaerys and his sister-wife Alysanne. It would make for an interesting development on your chart. Boremund's sister Jocelyn is Rhaenys' mother
Yea! So glad you did another one of these but new and improved
Love this recap! Can we get one of season 2, please?
I don't think Jon actually rejoined the Night's Watch. He, Tormund and Tormund's folk are seen going through the gate in the Wall and walking off beyond the Wall into the North. I'm pretty sure that means he joined the Free Folk, not the Night's Watch.
ok I think it’s brilliant how you worked an advertisement into a genealogical chart presentation.
This was so amazing I needed a refresher before starting house of the dragon season 2!! Thank you!!!
I want a prequel set in Essos ...would be cool seeing every dragon rider family
CAUTION: This video had inaccuracies. Aegon the Younger married Daenaera Velaryon because spoiler:

Jaehera ends her life. Otto's line basically becomes extinct after the dance smh people
Another amazing video
I'd love to see you try and do a family tree for the show Dark
Lol, that would be fun but he’d probably just have to copy the one from the show’s website
@@lindaisyoutubing Yeah true, but it would be fun to see him try and explain it episodically
this family tree is not nearly complete since in almost every generation siblings are cut away
CORRECTION (SPOILERS below):
Aegon III was betrothed to Jaehaera, yes, but she kills herself two years after the Dance ends. Only age 10. Aegon instead marries Daenaera Velaryon, granddaughter of Vaemond. They produce Daeron and Baelor.
Thanks. I've uploaded a corrected version of the chart here:

It would be really interesting if you made a video examining the two different lines of succession at the point where Viserys dies, based on the succession laws each side advocates for (agnatic primogeniture for the Greens, and absolute primogeniture for the Blacks).
Everything is always on point. Can't get enough!
The show cut Jaehaerys II (I think they folded his short reign into Aerys II's, making 'Egg' the father of Aerys, rather than his grandfather- & thus Aemon was generationally closer to Jon & Dany in the show, than he is in the book) - personally, I prefer to ignore that change...
So excited for House of Dragon 🐉⭐
Bro please make a family tree of Crimean Khanate
I can remember more about the ending of Game of Thrones through sheer cultural osmosis than I can about shows I've actually finished.
I hear that the next GOT series will be about Duncan & Egg & I'm looking forward to that!
11:47 I had to pause the video here 🙂
10:00 technically Laenor's lover was killed during his wedding with Princess Rhaenyra. Beaten to death by Sir Cole
He's talking about Ser Qarl Correy.
It’s also worth mentioning that Aegon IV legitimised all of his bastards on his deathbed, including Daemon Blackfyre, which is why he was able to justify his rebellion.
There’s also another character who I think should be on this tree. One of Aegon IV’s many bastards was actually in the show. His name is Brynden Rivers, aka Bloodraven. He later becomes the Three Eyed Crow who Bran meets North of the Wall. His rivalry with his other half brother Aegor Rivers (Bittersteel) is part of what caused the Blackfyre rebellions. Bloodraven stood by Daeron and Bittersteel convinced Daemon to rebel.
Very clear..thank you for making this.
It would be great to add a section on rumored connections .. there are several who believe the Tully line (via Katlyn’s mother’s side the Whent family) are descendants of Aemond (Alicent’s son) and a woman named Alys Rivers who’s son’s lineage is eventually House Whent. If that’s true then the prince who was promised prophecy ends up being true as Arya would be descended from Aemond Targaryen 🤯
19;06 just as he planned to happen when he became the three eyed raven.
Jon wasn't the last Targ, nor is the line over with. Gendry is the last, and being a handsome, strong, young ruler of the Stormlands, no doubt he had children.
Gentry is a Baratheon far too removed from Targaryen lineage to have a claim of any kind. If we’re counting less than 6% in the bloodline than 75% of Westeros has a claim the way these fools hooked up. Hell… Rhaegar probably has 10 Jon Snows if the songs are half true. lol
Good to know that HighTower blood in this succession will end eventually by their own kin, it reflects how greedy, cunning, manipulative, and rebellious they are for leading a Blackfyre rebellion, somehow some Targaryens never learn that opening marriage alliances with houses outside themselves (except Velaryons) will probably end badly in the future generation (I don't say that I'm normalizing incest here) because Targaryens have dragons and those dragons are the symbol of their house and assets which shouldn't and can't be owned by another house to pursue something greater as being the Lord in the Iron Throne, Targaryen is the only one deserved to be the ruler of the Iron Throne, people might say it's because they only have dragons that makes them stronger, but the same thing goes as other houses has an army and war weapons on their own.
THANK YOU! This was such an informative and clear explanation! I haven't read the books and I was kinda confused. So if Maester Aemon hadn't died and WANTED the throne, was he indeed the rightful heir to the throne over Daenerys? I really liked this and hope you will continue adding to it. Are there other households you've done? Subscribing to check out any other videos. TY again!👏
Aegon III and Jaehaera were married, but never had any children. Aegon III had children with his second wife Daenaera Velaryon. And in the books Stannis and his daughter Shireen are very much alive. Let's were George R. R. Martin will take us in the next parts.

Oh you’re so real for this
Can you make some East Asian Martial Arts family trees. Korea and Japan would probably be easier than China. Jesse Enkamp's documentaries really made me interested in the subject and I though "man this could use a chart"
so what you trynna say is Rhaenyra will never ascend the throne and pass it on to his son instead?
7:45 *Error alert* Aegon and Helaena had 3 children. The twins and Prince Maelor.
love it!
Note: while the Baratheon line descends from a Targaryen bastard, Robert's Grandmother was a legitimate Targaryen (Daughter of Aegon 5).
So helpful!
18:45 Jon was not at the meeting he was locked up in a dungeon
With all those Targaryen, only Jon Snow have a miracle resurrection. 😮wow what a writer's favorite
the problem I always had with the lineage is that if Tyrion is a dwarf then Jamie and Cersei would be carriers of the gene and one of their kids should be a dwarf
It is worth noting that while Robert Baratheon (and House Baratheon as a whole) is an illegitimate Targaryen through the regular male line, due to the many intermarriages between House Targaryen and House Baratheon, Robert Baratheon is a legitimate Targaryen through the female line. Actually the latter one is the reason why Robert is chosen and accepted by the lords as the new king after the successful rebellion.
Can you do a video on the knuckles the echidna family tree from Archie comics?
Dragon X gene 🧬 let’s go! 5:10
Do Harry Potter Family tree!! I know it won't be much but you can include the founding fathers, some important characters!!!!!?
I ordered a map but it hasn’t arrived. It’s been almost 3 weeks.
Hi! Could you do a complet targaryen family tree? Of all the targaryen please?
this one is for the history, ancestry, and GOT girlies
This seems like a dare i say... Useful Chart
the grandmother of kinh robert was also a targaryen
Aegon III did not have kids with Jaehaera. Aegon’s II line ended
Te faltó incluir a Maelor el 3er hijo de Aegon II y Helaena
Nice job
Still think it's weird that Jon's hair wasn't white
if thats the case Gendry is a Half Targaryen yes?
The Velaryon are described as white in the last book... I don´t understand why they are black in the series
Maester Aemon is Jon Snow's greatX3 grand Uncle.
This happens when your family tree is more like a roundabout
Rhaegar also married a Elia Martell and had 2 children. There was a lot missing from the books from this tree... Still enjoyed the video!
Awesome
What about maester aemon being in the family tree
This really illuminates why Daenerys was so serous about reclaiming the iron throne. Like she really wanted it real bad.
So there was an aegon before aegon the conqueror ??
This is some fuked up relations
Actually, as you mentioned, Baratheons are Targaryens and Robert's son is still alive, single, and ready to mingle.
Why can't the author just release the next book.
Did you yadda yadda the most important part?
Question, do you sing your name to the tune of Boney M's Ma Baker?
Yoooo I was hoping you’d cover the full Targ family tree! Its very organic and cool
If you know English in British history will know that this sounds exactly like it. That’s scares me.
The season 8 is so much fucked up that it logically eliminates the whole targaryen family. So insane
Jon is the last Targaryen blood
They have literal dragon blood so its technically not as gross as cersei and jamie who are normal humans
even baratheon are all dead. we got one targaryen and one dragon currently living.
Hey Matt, theirs a family in Ohio who claim to be decended from Cyrus the Great. Can that be true?
Why did you say that Baratheons are ilegitimate Targaryens if they have Targaryen grandmother?
Legitimate descent from a house is based on the male line only.
This is cool
It was all because who gets to sit the iron throne which cause Targaryens to die out
could you try the family trees of the fate franchise?
Robert Baratheon is also a Targaryen through his Grandmother Rhaelle Targaryen.
House descent is only through the male line, he has Targ blood but isn’t a Targ himself
Well, technically, Daenerys is dead, but her body was taken by the dragon and who knows she could be resurrected so therefore there could be two Targaryen still left. But yes, there’s one for now.
