Hello everyone, in the previous article, I took stock of the dragons that the Targaryen family once owned, and a friend suggested that the article still lacked the three dragons under the most important "Mother of Dragons". Although Martin has been secretive about the origin of these three dragon eggs, we can still find a little clue in the prequel "Fire and Blood".
Since the story takes place shortly after the end of the Conquest War, after which the exciting "Blood Dragon Dance" has not yet begun, and the history in the middle seems to be of little concern, I feel the need to introduce it.
Blood and Fire is a prequel novel about the history of the Targaryen family, the first half has been published, and the second half should be released at the same time after the launch of the TV series of the same name, focusing mainly on the Famous Civil War of the Targaryen Family , "Dance of the Blood Dragon".

The story takes place in 37. A.C, after the death of "Conqueror" Egon Targaryen. His eldest son, Inis Targaryen, succeeded to the throne, but Inis was in poor health and died after less than 5 years on the throne. At this time, Visannia Targaryen, the queen of the main palace of Egon I (i.e. the queen at the time), did not wait for Inis's body to cool down, and then he installed his son Meg as king. Meg Targaryen is as brave as his father, but has a brutal personality, so he is also known as the "cruel" Meg.
Inis's daughter, Renia Targaryen, fled west on her dragon Dreamfyre to Kaiyan City in order to escape her uncle's pursuit, where she was protected by the Lannisters. Duke Linman Lannister refused to hand over his niece to King Meg on the grounds of guest power, and the newly succeeded Meg I was not strong enough to crusade against one of the richest regions of the kingdom, so Princess Renia temporarily took up residence in the West.
However, Renia soon discovers the Lannister thief side, and their real purpose in offending Meg I is to marry a member of the Lannister family (Renia's husband and brother "Young Egon" has been killed by Meg in the Eye of god at the time), so Renia can only leave Kaiyan City on a dream fire and fly to Fair Isle further west, where she will receive shelter from the House Farman.
Farman is a vassal of the Lannister family in the West, but the Lannisters covet Renia only in secret, and they are still her protectors, so Farman also has plenty of excuses to protect Renia.
Curiously, during her time on Fairy Island, Renia soon fell in love with Andrew Farman, the second son of Count Marc Farman. The fact that a Targaryen princess (though already in distress) would look up to a subordinate nobleman who had no right to inherit was in itself quite unusual. And according to the description, Andrew Farman was mediocre and didn't have anything outstanding, so many people close to Princess Renia at the time thought that she didn't like Andrew at all, and announced that she was only for the opportunity to be alone with Andrew's sister, Eliza Farman.

Eliza, the youngest daughter of Count Marc Farman, grew up active, enjoyed the boys' sports of horseback riding and archery, and had a personality somewhat similar to that of the later Arya Stark. Eliza's dream had always been to sail away from Fairy Island on an adventure, but her father only wanted his daughter to become a lady quietly, and then marry a nobleman who was right in the house, and spend the rest of her life with her husband and son.
Imagine how thrilled Eliza Farman would have been when she encountered Renia and the dragon under her crotch, an elegant behemoth with its formidable destructive power, but also loyally navigating the sky with its master. This fascinated Eliza, who had never left Fairy Island, and soon became friends with the newcomer Renia, which developed into a secret lover.

However, the secret relationship between the two did not last long, and King Meg, in order to quell the rebel forces that were emerging within the kingdom, decided to accept the proposal to pardon Renia and marry her. The Lannisters were pressured to hand over Renia by Count Marc Farman.
In terms of generations, Meg is Renia's uncle, and although the Targaryen family has a tradition of intermarriage between siblings, intermarriage between elders and juniors really breaks the ethical bottom line. Even more egregiously, Meg also married the widows of two other rebel nobles (the three women were collectively known as "Meg's Black Bride" at the wedding of Renia), which led to the indignation of the people of the kingdom.
"Meg's Black Bride"
To 49. A.C, Meg I's reign came to an end due to the growing rebel army everywhere, and died in King's Landing soon after. With meg I leaving no descendants, the throne went back to in Theis, inherited by his youngest son, Jaehaeris I, and Renia Targaryen was able to return to life on Dragonstone.
Although she had already been married twice, Renia was only 24 years old at the time, and her status as a princess made her pursue many great nobles. However, without informing the Imperial Council, she flew alone to Fairy Island on a dreamfire and held a very simple wedding with Andrew Farman, claiming that it was to repay the Farman family for her rescue when she was in distress, but the clear-eyed people could see that she was trying to be with Eliza Farman as soon as possible.
After marriage, Renia did not stay with her husband's family on Fairy Island, but returned to Dragonstone island with her sister-in-law. After a few years of peaceful life, Eliza Farman suddenly said goodbye one day, much to Renia's heartache. To make matters worse, Eliza also quietly took away three dragon eggs stored in the dragon pit on the island, which greatly nervoused the Imperial Council and alarmed the king for a while (dragons are like modern nuclear weapons, and the ruler certainly cannot allow other families to obtain this deterrent ability).
The reason for Eliza Farman's betrayal of Renia is not difficult to understand, a person like her who is born adventurous cannot be fixed in one place forever, and Renia, although she can satisfy her momentary curiosity, is doomed not to last long.
Soon the royal intelligence network found traces of Eliza Farman, who had gone to Braavos on the other side of the Narrow Sea and was preparing to sell her dragon eggs. Originally, the Imperial Council was ready to send assassins to get rid of Eliza, but this order was never carried out, and many people speculated that It was Princess Renia's intercession with the king; coupled with the fact that the dragon confirmed that the three pieces that Eliza stole were dead eggs that had been unhatched for a long time, and even if they were sold, they were only a few "very expensive stones", so King Jaehaeris I did not continue to pursue.
More than two hundred years later, the three petrified dragon eggs were bought at great cost by the governor of Pantos, Illyrio Mopatis, and presented as gifts at the wedding of Daenerys and Drogo Kao. The dragon eggs were returned to the Targaryens hundreds of years later and were revived by blood magic (at the cost of the lives of the fetuses in the wombs of Drogo Kao and Dani).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > about the ending of Eliza Farman</h1>
The huge treasure of the dragon egg allowed Eliza Farman to build a fast deep-sea cargo ship, the Sun Chaser. Soon after it was built, she used the remaining money to hire a large number of sailors, and could not wait to drive the "Day-by-Day" into the "Sunset Sea" west of Westeros to explore the unknown in her heart, and no one has ever seen her again.
Hundreds of years later, during the Game of Thrones story, a navigator discovered a stranded ancient cargo ship in the "Shadow Lands" of the Far East, Asha. It is described that the ship has a unique shape, much like the famous "Day-runner" of that year. The people of Westeros believe that the "Sunset Sea" further west is the end of the world, but Martin said that the world he created was a sphere like the earth, so Eliza Farman may be equivalent to Magellan of the world of ice and fire, sailing west around, and finally landing on the far east of the continent of Essos, the first to complete the feat of circumnavigating the world.
