Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, last Prince of Dragonstone, was the eldest son and heir of King Aerys II Targaryen and Queen Rhaella, and older brother of Viserys and Daenerys. In the HBO series Game of Thrones he appears in flashbacks and visions, remembered as brave, kind, and wise.
Married to Elia Martell, Rhaegar shocked the realm by crowning Lyanna Stark queen of love and beauty at the Tourney at Harrenhal, and their union helped ignite Robert's Rebellion. He secretly wed Lyanna and fathered Jon Snow before being killed by Robert Baratheon at the Battle of the Trident. This overview draws on the Game of Thrones Wiki; see the Timeline for chronology.
