Velaryon
The Sea Snake
Corlys Velaryon, the Sea Snake, was Lord of Driftmark and husband to Rhaenys, the Queen Who Never Was. No named chapter in the five main novels directly narrates his nine voyages, wealth, or career in the Dance; those full details belong to histories outside this evidence set. The reading trail therefore uses succession, marriage, and institutional memory to show the context in which his maritime power has largely vanished from the novels.
Key story events this character is involved in, and the chapters where they appear.
Role: supporter
King Jaehaerys I convened the lords of Westeros to settle the succession. The council chose Prince Viserys over his cousin Rhaenys, establishing the precedent that a male heir takes precedence over a female claimant. This decision echoed forward into the Dance of the Dragons.
No chapter appearances recorded.
