Targaryen Line of succession


Recommended Posts

Daenerys is the last known Targaryen of the male line with undeniable parentage.Aegon has to prove his identity and Jon has to remove his bastardy and prove his parentage.So Targaryen succesion is probably:

1.Daenerys

2.Tommen

3.Stannis 

4.Myrcella

5.Shireen

6.any descendants of Aerion.

7.any descendants of Maekar's daughters

8.Doran Martell 

9. House Blackfyre

10.Elaena's descendants

House Velaryon should be high I suppose.even if the last Targaryen-Velaryon wedding was ages ago, they have much common blood.

We don't know what would happen because it's never been an issue

Actually several hints are given as to what would happen. For one GRRM tends to follow the real world practices of the medieval times, and there you work trough the female closest to the last king. Second is that we see several times that when there is only a female heir her husband takes her family name to continue the house. We even see this happen in the case of a kingdom in the WOIAF with Joffery Lydden becoming king Joffery Lannister.

So we actually have pretty good idea of how this would work and without a male Targaryen to inherit the throne you work true the female closest to the last king this is Dany. There are really no "and, ifs or buts" in this.
