In "The Princess and the Queen," Laena Velaryon is in the midst of horrible childbirth when she gets up, heads outside, and orders her dragon to burn her. However, it takes six days for Joffrey to die, with Laenor at his side the entire time. In Fire & Blood, the two men meet as challengers in a tourney, and Criston beats him. This was far too violent and illogical for Criston to face no consequences. In "We Light The Way," Criston Cole beats Joffrey's head in during Rhaenyra's wedding celebrations. Using Rhaenyra as a frame of reference, in Fire & Blood, she was 4 at The Great Council Deliberation, 7 when Queen Aemma died and Rhaenyra was declared heir, 17 when she got married, 20 when she gave birth to her third son, and 23 when Laena died in labor.įire & Blood has its fair share of bloody deaths, some of which fans expect will be too brutal to be recreated on screen, but some characters died in spectacularly different ways when they were adapted for the series. In addition to playing with the characters' ages, the timeline of events has been manipulated in order to make a more manageable sequence of events in the show. Rhaenyra, Viserys, and Aemma are all older in the show than in the book, and Alicent Hightower is aged down a few years so that she and Rhaenyra are closer in age. The ages of characters in the Martin stories are of similar young ages, but each of the shows has generally aged up their characters for obvious reasons. This was a time when royalty were expected to marry and bear children at very young ages. Martin's creations take place in a fantasy world that is heavily influenced by the history of the real world, and therefore many of the ages of characters in these stories reflect the real-world Middle Ages.
