Lion of Lorath Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 For example, Baelor Breakspear is a Targaryen with a Dornish mother, and he looks Dornish rather than Valyrian-- thus the child of Rhaegar and Elia would also look Dornish, which proves that Aegon is an imposter (whether he knows it or not.) Any other hints at various things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other hints at various things? Baelor had at least 2 brothers with Valyrian looks. Aegon was known to have been born with the characteristic silver hair. So that was a terrible example. But there are plenty of good hints in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithras Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 History of the Blackfyres. Even a random hedge knight is given a fair trial when he struck a crown prince (compare that to Rickard/Brandon). Bloodraven. Egg. Probably more material about the TPtwP prophecy in the future D&E novellas. And lots of other world building stuff that has direct relevances to the main series.

RedShirt47 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Egg shaves his head to hide his distinctive Targ hair could hint at Varys doing a similar thing.Dunk has many parallels with Brienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Guy Garlan Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Aegon + Sansa, per the Ashford TourneyAlso, it is heavily implied that House Frey (more specifically Walder's dad) betrayed the Blackfyre loyalists at Whitewalls. And it could be why in aDwD Haldon says that House Frey is long renown for treachery. So it seems to me that Team Aegon won't go easy on the Freys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrian Fork Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The "Dragonfly" amongst the "Reeds" that "looks nothing like a dragon". If that's not a red herring or coincidence, that one is going to be absolutely enormous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Ya there's no need to talk about Dornish looks vs Valyrian looks, the fact that we are given the whole backstory of the Blackfyres is plenty. As said above Varys pulling an egg, and possibly Ashford. Another is simply the fact that dragon in prophecies often means Targ, not an actual dragon. Could come into play.

Lost Melnibonean Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The problem with the bald as an egg thing is that Pycelle's head, Ebben's head, and Caleotte are all described in similar terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Melnibonean Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ^None of them are secretly trying to put Targs/Blackfyres/ whoever's on the throne.True. But the hint would be stronger if The George didn't use that particular description as muchvas he does, and if Varys didn't also need to keep his head shaved in a mummer's cut to slip easily into his disguises.

Addam of Hull Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Egg's eyes being so dark purple, they appear black... which links back to Jon, whose eyes are described as being a gray so dark, they look black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the prince dunk being an ancestor to the reeds theory has something to back it up. But it can easily be anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that was a terrible example. But there are plenty of good hints in there. Which brothers had Valyrian looks? Aegon's mother wasn't Dornish though, she was a Dayne and who knows how much Targaryen blood she had in her; just look at Edric Dayne for an example of how Targ-like the Daynes can look.

Most probably none. I think George confirmed in an SSM that the Daynes do not have Targaryen blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerys and Maekar, we never get a description of Rhaegel but he might too. I was talking about Aegon VI, not Aegon V, since that's the one you mentioned in the OP.
