Dragonlord
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Dragonlords is the title for members of the forty noble families that vied to actually rule the Valyrian Freehold. They were called dragonlords because they could ride and control dragons. They controlled dragons with whips, horns and sorcery. They were strikingly [some say inhumanly] [1] beautiful. [2]
The Targaryens were a minor one of these families, but are the only one that survived the Doom of Valyria with dragons. Thus members of House Targaryen are known as dragonlords in Westeros, even after the death of all the dragons.
