Hugh May Be Directly Connected To Vermithor’s Previous Rider
Vermithor Was Previously Bonded With King Jaehaerys I Targaryen
Another reason why Vermithor allow for Hugh Hammer to claim him may be tied to his on-key parentage . If Hugh Hammer ’s title about his Targaryen origin is good , thenhe ’s directly come to to Vermithor ’s last rider , King Jaehaerys I Targaryen . InHouse of the Dragonseason 2 , episode 7 , Hugh explains to his wife the truth about his mother being a silver - hirsute woman and the sibling of Baelon Targaryen , making Hugh the grandson of King Jaehaerys . While Hugh does n’t explicitly state who his mother is , there are some clues that she could be an extremely important member of this generation inHouse Targaryen ’s family tree .
House of the Dragon time of year 2 , episode 3 insert the character of Ulf , who arrogate to be of Targaryen blood line linked to King Jaehaerys I.
Hugh differentiate his married woman that his mother worked in a “ delight house ” and was granted more freedom than others due to “ what she was ” and because rich men would pay more to sleep with a char with silver hair’s-breadth . TheKing ’s Landing blacksmith Hughelaborates that his mother used to tell him that he was “ no unlike to her brother ’s boy , Viserys and Daemon . ” This means thatHugh ’s mother is either the sister or half - sister of Viserys and Daemon ’s father Baelon Targaryen , which also makes her either the trueborn or fake girl of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen .
Similar to Seasmoke choosing Addam of Hull , Laenor Velaryon ’s half - chum , for his next adherence , the dragons seem to favor more unmediated blood connection in their riders .
King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne had 13 children , with one of their daughters , Saera , being ill-famed for her wanton exploits in King ’s Landing . Fire & Bloodreveals that Saera fly King ’s Landing for Lys , bring at a pleasure home , and has a few bastard minor . It ’s more likely that Hugh ’s female parent is King Jaehaerys ’ bastard girl , butsome contingent hint that he could really be a bogus son of Princess Saera Targaryen . If so , Hugh would have thick Valyrian blood running through his vein . Not only this , but Jaehaerys often thought of Saera at the end of his aliveness , so Vermithor may sense both of their blood in Hugh .
Daemon has a shocking vision about his stagnant female parent in House of the Dragon season 2 , episode 5 , reveal more about his state of mind at Harrenhal .
