House Targaryen is a noble family from the fictional world of Westeros in the series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. They are known for their distinctive silver hair and purple eyes, traits that come from their Valyrian ancestry. The Targaryens are famous for their dragons, which they used to conquer and rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The family’s history is marked by both glory and tragedy. After being overthrown during the Robert's Rebellion, the remaining Targaryens lived in exile. The most notable members include Aegon Targaryen, also known as Daenerys Targaryen, who sought to reclaim the Iron Throne and restore her family's legacy.
