What if the Queen who never was, descendant became Queen

by rhaenyslaenabaelalaena

I loved Fire and Blood. This is my take on how Lady Baela could become Queen Baela, which she should've been in the first place. My first story so let me know what you think, keep in mind I wrote this over a day and did it for fun! I hope more people do fanfiction for fire and blood characters or historical Targaryen what if stories. Like what if Aegon V hatched a dragon?

16. Baela V

Chapter 16 (Baela V)

"I now pronounce Baela of House Targaryen, first of her name, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms". Baela I was the next monarch. Her first matter was determining what to do with Aegon's daughter Jaehaera. Jaehaera stated she wanted nothing to do with the cursed throne. Baela had won the throne by conquest. She was the dragon rider. Jaehaera's father and grandmother caused the disruption. Had they allowed Baela's stepmother to take the throne all the destruction would have been avoided. Baela sent Jaehaera's to become a septa. She was to go to a septa in the riverlands to learn, so no one could use her to cause a rebellion.

The legal act Baela had was changing the records. King Viserys I stated that a daughter should come before a son, well usurping has been happening for too long. Baela's grandmother the late Princess Rhaenys should have been queen, a daughter of a the prince of Dragonstone should come before the his younger brother. Also Baela noted that The Conciliator while the best ruler the Seven Kingdoms had seen, he usurped his niece Princess Aerea, of Prince Aegon the Uncrowned and Princess Rhaena. While she kept the records the same before the dance of dragons. Queen Baela ruled, Queen Rhaenyra as the rightful queen, while Aegon II was an usurper just like Maegor he did rule for a short time.

So Baela made it a law that a older daughter will come before a younger son. Baela made this law as she would not be considered a usurper. Had the succession been followed that way from the beginning then Baela would have been the rightful queen from the start of her life as she would have come after her grandmother, who should have been Queen Rhaenys.

Dowager Queen Alicent was frustrated by her granddaughter being usurped, but she would live out her life in the dungeons of King's Landing, although not for too much longer.
