In the television adaptation House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra is portrayed by Emma D'Arcy and Milly Alcock (young). During the Dance, her faction used her personal heraldry as their battle-flag. Rhaenyra's personal sigil was the standard Targaryen heraldry (a three-headed red dragon on a black field), quartered with the moon-and-falcon sigil of House Arryn (for her mother Aemma Arryn), and the silver seahorse on sea green of House Velaryon (for her first husband Laenor Velaryon, as well as for the Velaryons in general, who were among her major supporters). She was the mother of two kings, Aegon III and Viserys II. Her claim to the Iron Throne was challenged by her younger half-brother, Aegon II Targaryen, sparking the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Rhaenyra was a dragonrider whose mount was Syrax. At the age of eight, she was made her father's heir, and grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of Westeros. Rhaenyra was King Viserys I's only living child by his first wife, Queen Aemma of House Arryn. Rhaenyra Targaryen, cheered as the Realm's Delight when she was young, and later called the Half-Year Queen, was the first-born child of King Viserys I Targaryen.
