The Violande was a Bravosi merchant ship that sailed Rhaenyra Targaryen and her party to Dragonstone after she fled King’s Landing. Having no coin Rhaenyra was forced to sell her crown to raise coin to by passage on her.[1]

During the voyage strong winds pushed the Violande closer to the shores of Driftmark than the queen would have liked and she passed three times within hailing distance of the Corlys Velaryon’s warships but Rhaenyra took care to keep well out of sight.[1]

The Violande put to harbour below the Dragonmont on the eventide. The queen disembarked with her son Aegon, her ladies and three Queensguard knights, all that was left of her party. At the port she found a forty strong escort commanded by Ser Alfred Broome waiting for her.[1]
