Fire & Blood: 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History)
Queen Alysanne Targaryen women’s court – Art by Doug Wheatley

Queen Alysanne also wished to listen to the women of the North. When Lord Burley explained that there were no women on the Wall, she persisted… until finally, with great reluctance, he had her escorted to a village south of the Wall that the black brothers called Mole’s Town. She would find women there, his lordship said, though most of them would be harlots. The men of the Night’s Watch took no wives, he explained, but they remained men all the same, and some felt certain needs. Queen Alysanne said she did not care, and so it came to pass that she held her women’s court amongst the whores and strumpets of Mole’s Town… and there heard certain tales that would change the Seven Kingdoms forever.

I read the new excerpt from Fire and Blood today and I was so happy it was some backstory on Alysanne Targaryen! I was always fascinated by her character and George really came through, I’m so excited to read the rest of her and Jaehaerys’s history. I was really intrigued by her stay at Winterfell, and I thought it would be cute if by the end of her stay she and Alaric Stark grew even MORE fond of each other than Archmaester Gyldayn lets us know 😉

“ And the Night’s Watch came to rename the castle of Snowgate in [Queen Alysanne Targaryen’s] honor, dubbing it Queensgate instead. They did this in thanks for the treasure in jewels she gave them to pay for the construction of a new castle, Deep Lake, to replace the huge and ruinously costly Nightfort, and for her role in winning them the New Gift that bolstered their flagging strength. ”
