Rhaegar Targaryen is likely the most influential and important character in A song of Ice and Fire, But he's Dead! And he's been Dead for like 16 years before the First Chapter of A Game of Thrones! Rhaegar's hand print is over this entire story and people in the fandom have many different feelings about Rhaegar Targaryen. Was Rhaegar truly some love sick man that would abandon his wife Elia Martell and their children for a girl that he barely knew or was something bigger at work! Rhaegar's entire life was devoted to prophecy. He truly believed in prophecy and lived his life believing it was his duty to save the realm and fufill his destiny. From his Birth at the Tragedy at Summerhall, The Events at the tourney at Harrenhal, to the Tower of Joy and The Battle of the Trident.... Rhaegar has been trying to fulfill prophecy so why should we believe he was doing anything for love.. and Not Duty. Rhaegar's relationship with Lyanna Stark causes alot of confusion because we are to believe that Rhaegar was in love with Lyanna, and that Lyanna Stark was in love with him. But what if thats not the case. What if they were both just working towards the same goal. Fulfilling prophecy to save world! In this video I will go thru Rhaegar Targaryen's history and what I think was going on with him from beginning to end! Thanks for Watching
