Game Of Thrones: 10 Things Daenerys Targaryen Wants You To Forget

She EXPLOITS slavery.

Daenerys Targaryen. The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and of the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, Inspiration of Celebrity Costume Parties, and Treacherous Villain. Wait, what? We're supposed to love Dany, we're all supposed to swarm her like the slaves of Yunkai, raise her aloft, and proclaim her as some sort of demi-God of the TV world, when in reality, everyone's favourite 'strong, independent woman' is essentially a war criminal when you really delve into her storyline. Don't believe me? See everything she wants you to forget for yourself...

10. Aegon Conquered

"Rightful heir" this. "MY throne" that. Daenerys believes she has a total, unwavering claim on the Iron Throne, when let's face it, Aegon the Conquerer did exactly as his title suggests in the first place. He conquered. Aegon seized the realm for himself, and by the time Robert Baratheon came along with his warhammer, the Targaryen reign was causing more carnage than peace. Aegon conquered. Robert conquered. Of course Daenerys will claim that the throne still belongs to her family, and it's understandable, though she won't want you to remember that the throne was around long before a Targaryen backside sat upon it.
