In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn't seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn't crossed the sea, any sea. They did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms. I have a keen interest in languages. In the books, I favor multi-lingual people llke Missandei, Jorah, Daenerys, and Viserys. Missandei wins this contest because she speaks so many. How many languages do the following characters speak? Daenerys - At least three. See my response under the Daenerys Targaryen's Power Plays topic.
Asoiaf & got characters // pt. XXI - Daenerys Targaryen (ver. VI) “A queen must listen to all. The highborn and the low, the strong and the weak, the noble and the venal. One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.”.
You probably won't be shocked to learn that the showrunners of Game of Thrones are big Monty Python geeks, but the Holy Grail easter egg they slipped into a scene earlier this season might surprise you. Unless you speak Low Valyrian, anyway.
In the episode 'Breaker of Chains' (Season 4, Episode 3), sellsword leader Daario Naharis fights the Champion of Meereen on Daenerys Targaryen's behalf. Prior to the duel, the Meerenese champion shouts at Dany in Low Valyrian, starting with the word 'mhysa'—'mother.' What is he saying? 'Mother of Dragons?'
Nope. According to Game of Thrones' staff linguist, David Peterson, 'he's actually saying a Low Valyrian translation of the French guy's insults in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. '
Some keen-eared fans actually caught the joke, but nobody seems to have figured out the whole thing until now.
'They know that something's going on,' Peterson said, 'Right after that episode aired, I was getting tweets like, 'Is he saying a 'your momma' joke?' Close… But no, he's actually starting out with, 'Your mother is a hamster.'
Is Daenerys Hamsterborn, first of her name, daughter of the King Who Smelt of Elderberries, now canon? George R.R. Martin needs to weigh in on this.

Daenerys Targaryen left Game of Thrones fans reeling when she ignored the surrender at King’s Landing and burned the city to the ground.
The silver-haired leader followed in her father’s footsteps – nicknamed The Mad King – by torching civilians in the streets from atop her dragon, even after soldiers rang the bells to indicate their resistance was over, The Sun reports.
With her face twisted in rage, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) ordered that her troops continue their onslaught, leaving the likes of Jon Snow and Arya Stark watching on in horror from the ground.
Many fans assumed Daenerys was acting out of revenge, sticking it to Cersei after she executed her translator and best friend Missandei.

However, in a video interview with HBO alongside Grey Worm actor Jacob Anderson, Clarke insisted her reaction wasn’t about bloodlust at all.
“It’s this feeling that you could call Targaryen craziness, you could give it all of these names that it doesn’t deserve,” she began.

“Because it is just grief. It’s hurt and she has this ability to make this hurt a little bit less just for a minute,” she went on.
“And here she is sitting on this ridge and there’s the emotion and there’s the feeling and the feeling is to fu**ing kill her.”
However, many fans will no doubt be left sceptical by the comments.
Daenerys could’ve flown straight to the Red Keep to eliminate Cersei, but instead she systematically incinerated the streets occupied by the capital’s families.
Nonetheless, Anderson stressed that to Daenerys’ followers, such as The Unsullied, she will always remain a visionary rather than a tyrant.
“I don’t think that Greyworm can ever really see Dany as the Mad Queen,” he chimed in.
“To him, she actually has a very clear sense of what’s right and what’s wrong.”
