Elia Martell was the princess of the Seven Kingdoms, the sister of Oberin and Doran, as well as the daughter of Princess Dorn and the legal wife of Reyegar Targaryen. She had two children - the eldest girl Reinis and the youngest boy Aigon.
What was Princess Eliya Martell
Game of Thrones is a science fiction novel featuring a huge number of characters. For example, this heroine had dark hair, a skin of a characteristic olive color and black eyes. She was born prematurely, and for this reason she has never been in good health. According to the memoirs of Oberin, Elia was very kind and gentle.
The Life Of Elia Martell
Elia is the fourth child and only daughter of Princess Dorn, whose name was not indicated in the book. In the early years of her life, Elia Martell was close to her younger brother Oberin.
Eliya's mother had a desire to profitably marry her daughter. For this reason, when Elia became an adult, they went on a trip to the richest and most famous houses of Westeros. They visited Arbor, Starfall, as well as Staromest, Iron Islands and Casterly Rock.
At one time, Elia's mother was friends with Tywin Lannister's wife. Therefore, they decided to bring their children together: Oberin and Cersei, as well as Jaime, who later became a knight of the royal guard, and Elia. But while the Martellas reached Clusterly’s cliff, Joan died tragically, giving birth to her last child, Tyrion Lannister. In addition, Tywin himself refused to marry, stating that Cersei was destined for Prince Reigar.
Despite this, Eliya Martell married Reigar Targaryen. Subsequently, they had two children, whom they named Eigon and Reinis. Although their marriage did not take place out of love, outwardly he seemed quite happy. But the princess’s health after childbirth noticeably shook: after the birth of Eigon, the master told Prince Reigar that she was unlikely to bear the birth of another child.
Elia's death
But the marriage of Elia and Reagar did not last long. At the tournament in Harrenhall, Prince Reigar announced the queen of love and beauty to Liana from the Starks house, and not his lawful wife. About a year later, Lianna was abducted by Reigar. This act provoked an uprising of the elder Baratheon, who was also in love with Lianna.
Soon, Reigar was killed by the eldest of the Baratheon brothers in the famous Battle of the Trident. After this, Queen Reila, pregnant with her second child, left the capital. She was supposed to be accompanied by Eliya Martell, but the Mad King did not allow her to do this and detained her daughter-in-law in a red castle. There Grigor Kligan overtook her. First, he brutally killed Eigon, and then raped and killed Elijah herself. A floor above, Ser Amory Lorch killed her little daughter.
Much later, Tywin Lannister will say that he did not give orders to kill Elia. However, Oberin believed that Tywin lied and intentionally gave the order to kill the princess because of the insult inflicted on his daughter, Cersei. Subsequently, Oberin will go on a duel with Grigor Kligan, where he will brutally kill him.
Eliya Martell in a book and film
In general, the storyline of the book is no different than cinema. Fans of this character can be upset by the fact that only from the memoirs of Oberin can a portrait of a princess called Eliya Martell be made. An actress who could play this role would surely receive her share of fame and recognition.
