MatthewF Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 By mistake I searched the wiki for "Tyion" and to my surprise found one match. It turned out to be a typo, which I fixed, but it gave me the idea to search for name typos. I found a couple of others (and fixed them) and plan to search for others. However, I ran into a weird one with Rhaegal and Rhaegel. Dany's dragon is definitely named RhaegAl, as I verified in my Kindle copy of ADWD, but there are multiple entries for RhaegEl Targaryen and I don't have The Hedge Knight nor The Mystery Knight. Can anyone verify that the prince's name is in fact spelled with the second E? The article on Rhaegal indicates that he was named after Dany's brother Rhaegar, but that in itself seems weird if there was in fact a Prince Rhaegal. If the prince's name is right that's fine, but if not then I can certainly make the change if no one else does (though I don't yet know how the family trees work).

Hooper Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't recall ever reading a Rhaegel entry. I can't confirm that it's wrong at the moment as I'm not at home near the books, but pretty positive it was just some common misspelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Targaryen Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have checked both on The Sworn Sword and the Mystery Knight. It is unclear what the correct name is: in TSS it is spelled Rhaegal, but in TMK it is written Rhaegel, twice, so it is unlikely a typo. Perhaps Ran, who has seen the full Targaryen family tree might give a conclusive answer. Oh and here is Rhaegel's entry: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Rhaegel_Targaryen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
