King Viserys orders that his personal son Daeron and Jace share a moist nurse, hoping that the pair being “milk brothers,” as they’re known as, would in some way assist ease the doubtless enmity between the 2 branches of the household. In fact, that does not precisely work out.
As is custom, a dragon egg is positioned in Jace’s cradle, and in the end, the dragon Vermax hatches for him. Rising up, Jace and his brothers are bitter enemies of Viserys and Alicent’s youngsters, and a combat breaks out when Alicent’s sons mock the Velaryon boys and accuse them of being illegitimate Velaryons. An identical accusation is repeated in the course of the squabble over who ought to succeed Corlys Velaryon, with a Velaryon cousin accusing the boys of not being authentic heirs.
Jacaerys and Baela’s Relationship
When he’s simply 4 years outdated, Jace is formally betrothed to his cousin Baela Targaryen, the daughter of Daemon Targaryen and Laena Velaryon (Laenor’s sister). Since they’re so younger, in fact, their precise marriage will not be meant to happen for a lot of extra years.

Jace’s dying leaves a critical hole in the reason for Rhaenyra and her allies, however his fast pondering to save lots of his youthful brothers proves smart — each Aegon and Viserys wind up as kings of Westeros after the civil battle.
