Visenya Targaryen

Queen Visenya Targaryen was the sister and wife of Aegon the Conqueror. Along with her siblings, Visenya played a key role in the Targaryen invasion of Westeros, her most notable action being the single-handed conquest of the Vale of Arryn.
==History==
Visenya was the sister of Aegon and Rhaenys, and was born on Dragonstone, the Targaryen stronghold in the Narrow Sea. Following Valyrian custom, she and Rhaenys both married Aegon. All three siblings were dragonriders, with Visenya riding the dragon known as Vhagar. She also wielded the Valyrian steel sword known as Dark Sister .
All three Targaryen dragons were deployed at the Field of Fire, where they destroyed the largest army ever seen in Westeros and a major resistance to their rule.
Visenya was also responsible for bringing the Vale to heel. The Vale's seat of power, the Eyrie, was impossible to take by conventional means owing to its natural defenses atop a mountain. Visenya, however, merely flew her dragon Vhagar over the narrow pass and mountain peaks to land in the courtyard of the Eyrie, where the young King Ronnel Arryn was at play. Recalling the fate of Harrenhal and its lords who refused to bend the knee, the Queen Regent of the Vale, Sharra Arryn, surrendered peacefully on the condition that her son Ronnel be allowed to ride on Vhagar, Visenya kindly complied.
Visenya was the mother of Maegor Targaryen, known as Maegor the Cruel, the third King of the Seven Kingdoms, but he died without issue, so all of the subsequent Targaryen rulers (including Daenerys Targaryen) claim their descent from Visenya's sister, Rhaenys.
