Upon Viserys I's death, the realm exploded into a massive civil war between the Blacks and the Greens known as the Dance of the Dragons. Their followers started imitating their dress colors to display their loyalty, so that ultimately the pro-Rhaenyra faction became known as 'the Blacks' while the pro-Aegon II/Alicent Hightower faction became known as 'the Greens.' Viserys was not blind to this rivalry and tried to maintain peace between the two factions, but it is possible that at this point, no one could stop the coming feud. At a tournament, Queen Alicent wore a stunning green dress, while Rhaenyra dressed in bold Targaryen colors of black with red highlights. Two rival factions formed at the royal court, one favoring Rhaenyra and their Velaryon allies, and the other favoring Aegon II and his Hightower supporters. Rhaenyra bore Daemon two children, both of them future kings: Aegon III and Viserys II. Both Laenor and Laena later died, after which Rhaenyra and her uncle Daemon remarried - to each other.

Laena bore Daemon twin girls, Rhaena and Baela, while Rhaenyra had three sons by Laenor - though many claimed that they were all bastards fathered by her alleged lover, Harwin Strong. Viserys I's brother Daemon married his cousin Laena Velaryon, Viserys I's daughter Rhaenyra married Laenor Velaryon. Viserys raised Rhaenyra to be his heir but later remarried to Alicent Hightower and had three sons and a daughter by her - including the future king Aegon II Targaryen. But the council ruled in favor of Viserys I, given that he was Baelon's heir, and Jaehaerys had favored Baelon over his granddaughter Rhaenys.Дuring Viserys I's reign, his wife Aemma Arryn died after giving him only one surviving child, his daughter Rhaenyra. Aemon's daughter Rhaenys was a candidate, as were her children Laenor and Laena Velaryon. With Jaehaerys I in decline and unable to choose his new heir after Baelon's death, a Great Council was held in 101 AC to determine who would succeed him. Meanwhile, Daella had married a member of House Arryn, and their daughter Aemma Arryn married Viserys. Jaehaerys's daughter Saera had previously left across the Narrow Sea and never returned, adding to his woes. Jaehaerys was quite old by this point (being 70 to 80 years of age), and the death of Baelon (and other family members before) left him despondent for the next two years until he died in 103 AC. Under unknown circumstances, Baelon also died, in the year 101 AC. Jaehaerys declared that his son Baelon was his new heir, even though Andal custom was that a lord's daughter succeeded ahead of his younger brother (Valyrian customs were more complicated).Д«aelon had two sons: Viserys I and Daemon. Aemon married Jocelyn Baratheon, and they had one daughter named Rhaenys, but then Aemon died in 92 AC. Their eldest son was Aemon, their next son Baelon, and they also had daughters Daella, Saera, as well as five as-yet-unknown children. Jaehaerys I and his sister-wife Good Queen Alysanne had nine children.

Another prequel novella published in 2014, The Rogue Prince, covers most of the major events in Viserys I's reign, from his coronation to his death. Martin's novels, and therefore details about the generation between Jaehaerys I and Viserys I were very vague - until the publication of the prequel novella The Princess and the Queen in 2013. As a result of no major wars occurring during this period, however, it is one of the least documented periods in George R.R. Between the two of them, they presided over an 80 year golden age for the Targaryen dynasty, with entire generations that were born and died knowing only the peace and prosperity brought by the dragon-kings' unification of the continent. Jaehaerys I ruled for so long that his son predeceased him, and he was directly succeeded by Viserys I, who then ruled for 26 years. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Viserys I was the grandson of King Jaehaerys I, who was the longest-reigning King of the Seven Kingdoms in history, ruling for 55 years.
