A gown for Princess Daenerys Targaryen I to wear at the Water Gardens Prince Moran of Dorne had built for her to escape the heat of Sunspear. Spring 2016 Ready-To-Wear Elie Saab.

Princess Daenerys was the daughter of King Aegon IV “The Unworthy” and Queen Naerys Targaryen, and sister to the future King Daeron “The Good”. Though it is said she and her half brother Daemon Blackfyre were in love, her brother as King could not put the interests of two he cared about over those of the realm and arranged a marriage with the Prince of Dorne to secure Dorne’s allegiance to the throne. Though arranged purely for political reasons, their’s was not an unhappy marriage, with Prince Moran eventually having the Water Gardens built for her. Upon seeing the noble’s children playing in the pools on a particularly hot day Princess Daenerys invited the servants children to join in the other children in their games. She told her son and heir “This is your realm, remember them in everything you do.” It is a tradition that has endured throughout the years.
