Princess Myriah Nymeros Martell was the wife and queen consort of King Daeron II Targaryen.

History

Myriah was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Dorne during the reign of King Daeron I Targaryen.[1] She had a younger brother, Prince Maron Martell.[3]

After King Daeron I had been killed in Dorne in 161 AC, King Baelor I Targaryen freed the Dornish hostages in King's Landing and returned them to Dorne personally, walking barefoot. Once he reached Sunspear, he spoke with the Prince of Dorne, and agreed upon a peace, which included the betrothal of Myriah to Baelor's cousin, Prince Daeron Targaryen. The two would marry once they were both of age.[1]

Myriah eventually married Daeron, and they would have four sons together: Baelor, Aerys, Rhaegel and Maekar.[4]

Behind the Scenes

When writing The World of Ice & Fire, George R. R. Martin changed Myriah Martell's name to "Mariah".[1][4] But when writing Fire & Blood, George changed back to the original spelling "Myriah".[5] Latest version of The World of Ice & Fire also changed to "Myriah".[6]
