Viserys III Targaryen

From Asoiaf

Viserys III of House Targaryen, called the Beggar King is the second son of Aerys II Targaryen, King of the Seven Kingdoms and Queen Rhaella Targaryen.

Viserys claims to be the true King of the Seven Kingdoms in opposition to Robert Baratheon.

275 AL Viserys was born

283 AL Aerys was killed by Ser Jaime Lannister during the Sack of King's Landing. Rhaella and Viserys fled to Dragonstone.

284 AL Queen Rhaella died giving birth to Daenerys. At the same time a raging storm smashed the Targaryen fleet at anchor.

The garrison of Dragonstone was prepared to sell of the last two Targaryens when Ser Willem Darry and four loyal men broke into the nursery. He took Viserys and Daenerys with him to Braavos. Soon after Stannis Baratheon sailed for Dragonstone.

Ser Willem Darry lived with Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen in a house in Braavos. Ser Willem fell ill and after a long time in sickbed died. The servants stole all the money and left Viserys and Daenerys to their own devices.

After being put out of their house in Braavos Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen moved to Myr and then to Tyrosh, Qohor, Volantis and Lys. At some point they were forced to sell Queen Rhaella's crown.

Viserys and Daenerys became guests at the house of Magister Illyrio Mopatis in Pentos.

Khal Drogo visited Pentos. He was looking for a bride and invited Viserys III Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen to a feast at his manse.

Illyrio Mopatis gifted Daenerys with cloths and jewels to wear on Khal Drogo's feast.

Viserys visited Daenerys before her bath, bringing with him the gown gifted by Magister Illyrio and warning her not to dissapoint Khal Drogo at the feast that evening. Viserys met Daenerys in the entry hall after her bath. Illyrio also came. They left for the feast in Illyrio's carved palanquin. Viserys planned to take some of Khal Drogo's men and reconquer the Seven Kingdoms. Illryio reassured him that the people were waiting for their true king to return. The palanquin arrived at Drogo's manse and their names were announced by the herald. Other people attending the feast were Khal Moro and his son Rhogoro, the brother of the Archon of Tyrosh and Ser Jorah Mormont. Illyrio made his submission to Khal Drogo and presented him to Daenerys and Viserys.
