Princess Rhaenys Targaryen

Played by Eve Best

The granddaughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, Princess Rhaenys was once a possible contender for the Iron Throne. However, the lords of Westeros overlooked her claim in favor of her male first cousin, Viserys. She later wed the powerful Lord Corlys Velaryon, and mothered two children, Laena and Laenor. Whispers in the kingdom call her “The Queen Who Never Was.”
During Aegon's corronation, Rhaenys escaped on Meleys and shared the news of Viserys' passing with Rhaenyra and Daemon.
