Lady Larra Rogare of Lys was the wife of Prince Viserys Targaryen, brother of King Aegon III Targaryen. She abandoned Viserys before his ascendance to the Iron Throne, thus she never actually became Queen Consort.
Appearance and Character
Tall and willowy, with the silver-gold hair and purple eyes of old Valyria, she was considered a great beauty.[3]
History
Lady Larra was a Lyseni noblewoman born to the wealthy and influential Rogare banking family from the Free City of Lys. She was the daughter of Lysandro Rogare, known as "Lysandro the Magnificent". He was the head of the wealthy and influential Rogare family, whose power and wealth even waxed that of the Iron Bank of Braavos during its prime.
Larra had wed Prince Viserys Targaryen in 134 AC, at the age of nineteen.[4] Not too long thereafter, Lord Alyn Velaryon found Prince Viserys in Lys, and paid for the Prince's release. Viserys was taken back to Westeros, and Larra went with him.[5] In King's Landing in 135 AC, she gave birth to the first of her three children with Viserys: Prince Aegon.[3]
Larra's brothers had accompanied her to King's Landing, but there were those at court who mistrusted the Rogares. Larra's brothers were arrested, and Lord Thaddeus Rowan, Hand of the King, was arrested and tortured for information, having been suspected to have been working together with the Rogares. Ser Marston Waters of the Kingsguard, who was then named Hand of the King, ordered the arrest of Lady Larra herself, but King Aegon III Targaryen and Prince Viserys refused to give her up. They were besieged in Maegor's Holdfast for eighteen days, before Waters recalled his duty and fulfilled his king's command to arrest those who had implicated Lord Rowan and the Rogares falsely.[5]
In 136 AC, Larra gave birth to a second son, Prince Aemon. A daughter, Princess Naerys, would follow in 138 AC.[3] Lady Larra had never truly felt part of the court at King's Landing, and was never truly happy in Westeros.[3] A year after having given birth to Naerys, in 139 AC, Larra returned to Lys. She eventually died in 145 AC.[2] Her cause of death is unknown.
Prince Viserys, an otherwise charming man, grew stern after Larra had left him and their children.[5]
