View source for Second Quarrel

The '''Second Quarrel''' is one of the two recorded estrangements between King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] and his queen, [[Alysanne Targaryen]]. The quarrel began in {{Date|92}}, when Jaehaerys decided to pass over his granddaughter [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], the only heir of his deceased eldest son [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon]], in favor of his son [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon]], in the line of succession. Alysanne, who had helped her husband rule for many years, believed there was no reason to favor a man over a woman, and felt that if Jaehaerys believed women to be of less use, he had no need of her. 

Alysanne departed [[King's Landing]] and flew to [[Dragonstone]] on her [[dragon]] [[Silverwing]], where she remained apart from Jaehaerys for two years. The couple reconciled in {{Date|94}}, with the help of their daughter, Septa [[Maegelle Targaryen|Maegelle]], though they never reached accord on the succession. At the time Alysanne died in {{date|100}}, she was still insisting that her granddaughter Rhaenys and her children had been unfairly cheated of their rights.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}
