When was daenerys born

Although she has matured enough to recognize that Viserys was weak, cowardly and cruel, his abiding obsession with regaining the crown he felt was his birthright has instilled in Daenerys a similar belief that reclaiming the Seven Kingdoms is both her right and her duty as the last of the Targaryens, and it remains the paramount goal of her life.

Nevertheless, Westeros is a foreign land that she has never seen with her own eyes, and she sometimes longs wistfully for the house with a red door in Braavos that has come to symbolize her lost childhood. She was named after the first Daenerys in her family. Daenerys was conceived during the last month of the rebellion that would ultimately end her family's reign over the Seven Kingdoms. Shortly thereafter, her mother was sent with the young prince Viserys to the family ancestral seat of Dragonstone to escape the coming Sack of King's Landing.

Daenerys was born while a great storm raged above Dragonstone, sinking what remained of the Targaryen fleet, for this reason she is sometimes known as "Daenerys Stormborn. By this time, the war was already lost. Robert Baratheon had claimed the throne and Aerys had already been killed along with the rest of the royal family, leaving Daenerys and her older brother Viserys as the only known living Targaryen heirs.

The garrison at Dragonstone decided to surrender and turn them over to the rebels in exchange for their lives, but before they could act on this plan, Ser Willem Darry and several other loyal retainers rescued the children and smuggled them into exile, sailing to the Free City of Braavos, where they lived for years in a house with a red door.

Ser Willem was old and sickly, but Dany remembers that he always treated her kindly. The answer to that question is a simple one — yes, it's her birthplace, and perhaps more importantly, she was the last Targaryen to be born in the castle.

As her long title suggests, Daenerys Stormborn is born during a stormy night at Dragonstone. Her mother, Queen Rhaella, dies shortly after giving birth. Then an infant Daenerys and her brother, Viserys, are smuggled across the Narrow Sea to keep them out of Robert Baratheon's reach. Had Rhaella and Viserys not left King's Landing for the safety of Dragonstone, it's likely Daenerys would have died before she had a chance to draw her first breath.

Robert's determination to wipe out all of the Targaryens led to the death of Elia Martell, Rhaegar's wife, and their two children, Rhaenys and Aegon. Years after the rebellion is over, Robert continues to plot Daenerys' demise by sending Ser Jorah across the Narrow Sea to spy on the future mother of dragons and her brother. She is aware of the Faith of the Seven , which is the religion of the majority in the Seven Kingdoms, but there is no evidence that she ever endorsed the faith for her rule.

When she was amid the Dothrakis, she was constantly reminded about their loyalty to their revered horse god, The Great Stallion , and she does, at times, allude to it to move her Dothraki armies to action, although that may be a tactical move.

Viserys was the exiled heir who was hell-bent on returning to Westeros to claim the Iron Throne, which had once belonged to his father, The Mad King. And though Viserys and Dany shared a troubled relationship, he did tell her a lot of stories about their earlier life in Westeros and had promised Dany that he would take her there one day. On the show, Daenerys is never seen actually having sex with another woman, although she does share a sexually charged tete-a-tete with Yara Greyjoy , who was clearly interested in women.

Some fans have also noted the chemistry between Dany and Missandei and have found glimpses of homo-eroticism. But in the books, Daenerys does have sex with a woman. During her stay in the port city of Qarth in Essos, the recently widowed Daenerys is influenced by facets of Qartheen culture and fashion, particularly their way of dress. A traditional Qartheen gown is a long, flowing belted number that is designed to leave one breast bare.

In A Clash of Kings, when Dany and her troupes are about to flee Qarth, Irri fetches her a Qartheen gown made in Samite silk, which she refuses to wear because it would be inappropriate to wear at the docks. But in Astapor, she wears a Qartheen gown to make an offer for the Unsullied to the Good Master of Astapor, so as to not come off as a beggar.
