Rhaegar Targaryen ‣ “he lost the war, he lost the kingdom, and he lost his life.”
“At the Trident, those brave men Viserys spoke of who died beneath our dragon banners – did they give their lives because they believed in Rhaegar’s cause, or because they had been bought and paid for?” Dany turned to Mormont, crossed her arms, and waited for an answer. “My queen,” the big man said slowly, “all you say is true. But Rhaegar lost on the Trident. He lost the battle, he lost the war, he lost the kingdom, and he lost his life. His blood swirled downriver with the rubies from his breastplate, and Robert the Usurper rode over his corpse to steal the Iron Throne. Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.” [A Storm of Swords. Daenerys II]
pre-asoiaf characters ♔ Rhaegar Targaryen (259-283 AL)
Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was a member of House Targaryen. He was the eldest son of King Aerys II Targaryen and, as heir-apparent, Prince of Dragonstone and crown prince for the Iron Throne. Prince Rhaegar was tall and handsome, having dark lilac eyes and the silver hair of the Targaryens, and was also considered to be a talented musician and skilled knight. He was deeply affected by the shadow of Summerhall, because he was born in grief and was considered melancholic at times. He died in Robert’s Rebellion which was triggered in part by his alleged abduction of Lyanna Stark.
Rhaegar Targaryen ‣ “at last a crushing blow from Robert’s hammer stove in the dragon”
“The waters of the Trident ran red around the hooves of their destriers as they circled and clashed, again and again, until at last a crushing blow from Robert’s hammer stove in the dragon and the chest beneath it. When Ned had finally come on the scene, Rhaegar lay dead in the stream, while men of both armies scrabbled in the swirling waters for rubies knocked free of his armor.” [A Game of Thrones. Eddard I]
