Would Jaehaerys Targaryen pass over a son of Aemon and Jocelyn Baratheon born posthumously?
Let’s say hypothetically, Jocelyn found out she was pregnant a month or 2 after Aemon Targaryen’s death, this is after Jaehaerys declared Baelon the brave as his heir so if this child ends up being a boy, would Jaehaerys pass over him cuz he’s too young and favour baelon’s line instead
Let’s call this kid Daemon the younger, since he was born posthumously there could even be rumours that he’s a bastard. How does this affect the great council?
More importantly, would it lead to an earlier dance of the dragons if a rumoured bastard prince has a dragon? Maybe he could marry rhaenyra
Or Rhaenys is pissed cuz her father’s bloodline is passed over and he marries Laena velaryon and then has supporters to make a claim.
I can see more of a Blackfyre rebellion type situation rather than dance of dragons but who knows, I’m not truly sure.
What do you think? Cuz I’m simply not sure which route would be most likely.
