Viserys expresses his confidence to her that the child will be a boy, telling her of a dragon dream he had of their son being born wearing Aegon the Conqueror's crown, amidst the sound of thundering hooves, splintering shields, and ringing swords, and all the dragons roaring as one as Viserys placed his son upon the Iron Throne.

Nine years into his reign, Viserys attends a meeting of the Small Council, leisurely talking and joking until Lord Corlys Velaryon brings to the council's attention that the alliance in the Free Cities known as the Triarchy is conquering the Stepstones for themselves, warning that Westerosi sea trade could be badly affected, but Viserys dismisses his concerns. Yet the lords of Westeros and even Viserys himself consider Daemon too wild and hot-headed to ever be a suitable heir to the throne.
Their only living child is Princess Rhaenyra, but according to the precedent set by the council at Harrenhal, Viserys's heir should be his closest male relative: his younger brother Daemon. Īt the beginning of his reign, Viserys had yet to produce a male heir with his beloved wife, Queen Aemma Arryn, despite Viserys's claim to the throne being based on direct succession from male to male. King Jaehaerys died and was succeeded by Viserys in 103 AC. To address the issue, all the lords of Westeros gathered in the Great Council of 101 AC, which ultimately elected Viserys as the new Prince of Dragonstone, and Rhaenys grudgingly accepted the result. Upon the death of Viserys's father Baelon, Prince of Dragonstone, the succession became unclear: Viserys's first cousin Rhaenys was the only child of Jaehaerys's first son, while Viserys was the eldest son of Jaehaerys's second son, but the relatively young Targaryen dynasty did not have firmly established succession laws. Viserys inherited the Iron Throne after an unprecedented sixty years of peace and prosperity under his grandfather, a golden age that Viserys strives to uphold. Viserys I is the son of Prince Baelon and Princess Alyssa Targaryen, and grandson of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.
