Rhaegar Targaryen is the last crown prince of the Targaryen dynasty, son of Aerys II, a harper and warrior whose carrying off of Lyanna Stark sparks the rebellion remembered throughout A Game of Thrones.

Rhaegar Targaryen is the crown prince of Westeros. Eldest son of King Aerys II and Prince of Dragonstone, he is silver-haired and grave, a harper as much as a warrior, bookish in boyhood and melancholy in manhood, and those who know him call him the most gifted prince of his generation. He weds Elia Martell of Dorne, who bears him two children. The realm's memory of him is divided, for the rebellion that ends Targaryen rule begins when Rhaegar carries off Lyanna Stark, Lord Eddard's sister. King Robert curses his name to this day; others who knew the prince speak it softly.
