General Notes
- Daena Targaryen, also known as Daena the Defiant, was the daughter of King Aegon III Dragonbane. She was briefly the sister-wife of Baelor I (not consummated), mistress of her cousin King Aegon IV, and mother to Daemon Blackfyre.
  
  Daena became known as Daena the Defiant when she became pregnant but refused to name the father of her child. She named her son Daemon and raised him alone. His father was only revealed when Aegon IV gave Daemon the ancestral Targaryen sword Blackfyre, acknowledging him as one of his bastards.
  
  Daena's brother, Baelor, put his three sisters in a keep -- afterwards known as the Maidenvault -- for fear that the sight of them would lead him to sinful thoughts.
