As the first century of the Targaryen dynasty came to a close, the health of the old king Jaehaerys was failing, in those days house Targaryen stood at the height of its strength, with 10 adult dragons under its yoke no power in the world could stand against it. King Jaehaerys reigned over nearly 60 years of piece and prosperity, but tragedy had claimed both his sons leaving his succession in doubt ,so in the year 101 the Old King called a great council to choose an heir ,over a thousand lords made their journey to Harrenhal, fourteen succession claims were heard but only two were truly considered Princess Rhaenys Targaryen the Kings eldest descendant and her younger cousin Prince Viserys Targaryen the Kings eldest male descendant .It was decided that Prince Viserys Targaryen be made Prince of Dragonstone .Rhaenys a women would not inherit the Iron Throne ,the Lords instead choose Viserys.

Jaehaerys called the great council to prevent war being fought over his succession for he knew the cold truth the only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon was itself.
