Queen Alysanne Targaryen

• General Notes
  • 
    Alysanne Targaryen was a Queen of Westeros -- the daughter of Aenys I.  Following the customs of the Targaryens, she married her brother, Jaehaerys I the Conciliator. When Jaehaerys was the ruling King and Alysanne his queen-consort, she influenced her husband to abolish the right of nobles to spend the first night with a just married bride.
    
    King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne visited Winterfell and the North.  During her trip, Alysanne travelled to the Wall.  According to stories, she was so impressed by the bravery of the Night's Watch that she asked Jaehaerys to double the land of the Night's Watch. The acquired land was called "the New Gift".  Alysanne also convinced the Night's Watch to build a new castle, Deep Lake, as a replacement for the Nightfort.
    
    Queen Alysaane grew bored while at Winterfell and took her dragon Silverwing northwards.  When she slept in a holdfast, the folk of the village painted the holdfast's merlons gold in her honor and renamed their village  Queenscrown.  Queen Alysanne also stayed in castle Snowgate, which was renamed Queensgate in her honour. 
    
    According to semi-canon sources, Queen Alysanne was very close to her husband and was his most trusted counselor. She had many charities and was loved by the people.  There is a sad song, "Alysanne", that may be about her.
