Targaryen
Maegor's Teats
Rhaenyra was Viserys I's designated heir and contested the Iron Throne with her younger half-brother Aegon II after their father's death. The five main novels acknowledge her claim and the destruction of both rivals, yet later speakers define her through labels of usurpation, gendered precedent, and a brutal death. Whether she counts as a monarch is itself politics of memory; this entry neither imports television characterization nor treats later war chronicles as direct novel narration.
