Visenya Targaryen literally sliced Aegon the Conqueror's face just to prove a point, and that’s how the Kingsguard was born.
The woman was an absolute menace from day one.
When Dornish cutthroats ambushed them in King’s Landing, Aegon survived purely because Visenya whipped out Dark Sister and butchered the attackers herself.
When Aegon stubbornly insisted his regular castle guards were enough, Visenya didn’t argue. She drew her blade, cut his cheek before his guards could even blink, and said: "Your guards are slow and lazy."
Right there in 10 AC, she created the Kingsguard, seven elite killers sworn for life, modeling their vows on the Night's Watch.
Visenya carried the entire conquest on her back. She rode Vhagar, wore ringmail to court, conquered the entire Vale without spilling a drop of blood by casually taking little Ronnel Arryn on a dragon ride, and dabbled in dark sorcery.
When Aegon died, she ignored the line of succession, personally crowned her psycho son Maegor the Cruel, and kept the dynasty alive through pure terror.
The original warrior queen who didn't play politics, she just enforced them. #HOTD #HouseOfTheDragon
