What Forces Pushed the Targaryens to Rise and Fall? Discover the Scandal! The House of Targaryen stands as one of the most iconic dynasties in history—renowned for fire, power, and downfall. From their legendary conquest of Westeros with Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones to their eventual, dramatic collapse, the rise and fall of the Targaryens is steeped in political intrigue, whispered scandals, and unrelenting forces that shaped a dynasty. But beyond the epic battlefields and dragons, what truly pushed this powerful house to its zenith—and tragic end? Let’s uncover the hidden forces that propelled the Targaryens to greatness and unravel the shadowy scandal that sealed their fate. ### The Rise: Fire, Legitimacy, and the Dragon’s Cradle The Targaryens rose to power in the wake of Robert Baratheon’s chaos. House Targaryen claimed descent from Rhaegal Targaryen, a розтаispens Revolution led by their ancestor, Aegon the Conqueror, who winged his siblings—Jaime and Rhaella—across the Narrow Sea in the 1st Age. Their successful invasion and unification of the Seven Kingdoms marked the beginning of a dynasty built on conquest, sorcery, and an unshakable belief in divine right.
