  • The Dance of the Dragons was a major civil war in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. It confirmed that the law of male primogeniture as practised historically in Westeros did apply to the ruling Targaryen dynasty. The war was also important in that it destroyed many cadet and lesser branches of the Targaryen family, and also eliminated almost all of the surviving dragons at the time.
  • The Dance of the Dragons was a massive civil war of succession between two rival branches of House Targaryen, fought 170 years before the events of the Game of Thrones TV series. It is called "the Dance of the Dragons" by singers and in popular memory, because it was the only major war in Westeros in which both sides had dragons. It was also the first full-scale civil war to ever take place in the Seven Kingdoms. During the Dance brother fought brother, Targaryen fought Targaryen, and dragon fought dragon.
  • The Dance of The Dragons is a legendary war hundreds of years before the reign of Robert Baratheon, where brother fought sister.
