House of the Dragon: Who Is Baelon Targaryen and Why Is He Important?

The history of Westeros is a highly detailed, meticulous piece of literature that George R. R. Martin has crafted with a world of characters. The adaptations of his works, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, feature many of these characters, but not nearly as many as one thinks. Often times, important figures in history are only known by word-of-mouth in House of the Dragon, or died too soon to know. Two examples of characters that viewers aren’t privileged to meet in House of the Dragon are Baelon the Brave and Baby Baelon Targaryen.Per Targaryen custom, both Baelons share the same name for sentimental or honorable reasons. While neither of them have a role in House of the Dragon that’s quite nearly as meaningful as Rhaenyra or Daemon Targaryen, they’re both catalysts for the Dance of the Dragons. Their deaths upset the balance of power in the Seven Kingdoms, marking an era that would be the beginning of the end of the strongest dynasty Westeros had ever seen.He received his nickname “The Spring Prince” for being born at the start of spring, and “Baelon the Brave” for hitting the dragon Balerion on the snout in either a foolish or fearless act. Like his grandson Aemond Targaryen, Baelon rode the largest and oldest dragon in the world, Vhagar. He married his sister Alyssa, with whom he had three children: Viserys I, Daemon and Aegon, the latter of whom died nearly a year later. Alyssa suffered greatly from Aegon’s birth, and died six months later.
