History

Rodrik Arryn became Lord at the age of 10.

In 80 AC, Rodrik married Princess Daella Targaryen, one of the daughters of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen. Rodrik and Daella had one child together, a daughter born in 82 AC named Aemma Arryn. Daella died in childbirth.[1]

Rodrik Arryn served as Lord Justiciar and Master of Laws since 60 AC. By his first marriage had had four children. The oldest was Elys Arryn, his younger daughter was Amanda Arryn and he had sons.

As Daella's 16th nameday approached a suitable candidate for her to marry had not been found. Jaehaerys told his wife he wanted her wed before the years end on the first day of 80 AC. Boremund Baratheon, Tymond Lannister and Rodrik Arryn contended for her hand. Daella chose Rodrik for she found him the kindest.

Rodrik then took his wife back to the Eyrie, departing his position on the Small Council. Daella fell pregnant after a year and a half of marriage and died of childbed fever after her daughter Aemma was born.

At a young age[2] Aemma married Prince Viserys Targaryen.[3][4] When Viserys was crowned Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Aemma became a queen.[3][1] Aemma's daughter, Rodrik's granddaughter, Rhaenyra Targaryen fought over the Iron Throne with her half-brother Aegon II Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons,[4][5] with one of her sons, Aegon III Targaryen, claiming the throne at the end of the war.[6] Ever since, each of the kings of the Targaryen Dynasty, as well as King Robert I Baratheon, can trace back their lineage to Rodrik and his Targaryen wife.[7]
