‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ Quietly Introduced Several More Targaryens In Baelor’s Finale Funeral: Who Are They?

In a blink-and-you-missed-it moment during the Season 1 finale funeral of Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen (Bertie Carvell) on HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the Game of Thrones series may have introduced several lore Targaryens that we haven’t seen before.

At the funeral, there are several Targaryens in the series that we already knew: Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell), Prince Valarr Targaryen (Oscar Morgan) and Prince Aegon V “Egg” Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell). However, there are several silver-haired figures around them.

While only one of these is confirmed, it’s time to speculate who the others are.

Confirmed

Kiera of Tyrosh

While not a blood Targaryen, Kiera is the wife of Valarr. At the funeral, she’s standing beside her husband, and her appearance is accurate to the source material, with darker skin and pink hair. In the source material, she and Valarr go on to have two children, but they are stillborn. She later marries his cousin, Prince Daeron Targaryen, and they have a daughter, Vaella Targaryen.

An image of Kiera and Valarr from the funeral surfaced in December, and the character is officially confirmed to be Kiera by actress Tamara Chanel.

Speculated

Aerys I Targaryen

There is a man who appears beside Maekar and Egg at the funeral, and he could be Aerys I Targaryen. In canon, Aerys I becomes king after Baelor and his sons die, as he is next in line. He ends up not having an heir, and this leads to Egg becoming king.

Aelinor Penrose

There is a woman standing next to the man who could be Aerys I. If this is Aerys, this is likely his wife, Aelinor Penrose, who came from House Penrose. In canon, she and Aerys I were said to be cousins, but their exact relation is unknown, as is whether she is technically a blood Targaryen.

Rhae and Daella Targaryen

While unconfirmed, there are two seemingly Targaryen ladies standing behind Valarr and near Kiera. They could be Maekar and his late wife, Dyanna Dayne’s daughters, Rhae and Daella Targaryen. They appear to be close in age. In canon, Daella is the fourth-oldest child, and Rhae is the sixth and youngest. Aegon V is between them as the fifth child. The ladies in the scene look older than Egg is right now. However, as we know, the Game of Thrones shows like to mix up ages and generations, so this doesn’t necessarily mean these characters aren’t Rhae and Daella.

The case for this not being Rhae and Daella? It seems odd that Prince Matarys, the other son of Baelor and Valarr’s brother, wouldn’t be there, no? Or maybe he just didn’t journey to Ashford Meadow for the tourney while his cousins did. It’s not like he could travel over by dragon, right?

In canon, both Rhae and Daella are married off to unnamed houses and end up having children. We don’t know exactly who they were married to, but one of them (probably Rhae) married into House Tarth — and could have had a romantic tryst with Dunk, had a baby, and this is how Brienne of Tarth could be connected to Dunk.

Manfred Dondarrion also attends Baelor’s funeral

Of note, the Targaryens who may or may not be Rhae and Daella are also standing directly behind Manfred Dondarrion (Daniel Monks), a knight of House Dondarrion, whom we met earlier in the season. He is likely there because he’s related to Jena Dondarrion, Baelor’s late wife and the mother of Prince Valarr and Prince Matarys.

What notable Targaryens of the time weren’t at the funeral

Of the immediate Targaryen family members of Baelor, missing — and not speculated to be the unnamed Targaryens we saw — from the funeral would be, of the characters introduced properly in the series, Prince Daeron, aka Daeron the Drunken (Henry Ashton) and Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett).

Of unseen characters, there’s the aforementioned Prince Matarys, Prince Rhaegel Targaryen, brother of Baelor, Aerys I and Maekar, as well as their father, King Daeron II Targaryen. There’s also Rhaegel’s children: Prince Aelor Targaryen, Princess Aelora Targaryen and Princess Daenora Targaryen (future wife of Aerion) — though the timeline of their ages, or even whether they were born at this time, is somewhat unclear. There are probably many more distant relatives, but there are just so many Targs.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is streaming in full on HBO/HBO Max. Season 2 was renewed in November of last year before the premiere of Season 1.
