House Nymeros Martell, or simply House Martell, is one of the Great Houses of Westeros and the rulling house of Dorne. Like their Rhoynish ancestors the Martells style their rulers as “Prince” or “Princess” of Dorne and follow gender-blind equal primogeniture, in which the eldest child is the heir regardless of whether that child is male or female.

A sword rang as it was drawn. “Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.” “Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!” Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. “But no living man am I!”
Oh, shut up, you little fool. Praying for the gods to have mercy on us all? The gods have no mercy, that’s why they are gods. My father told me that when he caught me praying. My mother had just died, you see. I didn’t really understand the concept of death. The finality of it.
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. […] I should’ve been born a man. I’d rather face a thousand swords than be shut up inside. […] I don’t care about checking my worst impulses. I don’t care about making the world a better place. Hang the world.

EVERY DIRECT ANCESTOR OF DAENERYS TARGARYEN: Aegon the Conqueror
Aegon Targaryen himself, strangely, was as much an enigma to his contemporaries as to us. Armed with the Valyrian steel blade Blackfyre, he was counted amongst the greatest warriors of his age, yet he took no pleasure in feats of arms, and never rode in tourney or melee. His mount was Balerion the Black Dread, but he flew only to battle or to travel swiftly across land and sea. His commanding presence drew men to his banners, yet he had no close friends, save Orys Baratheon, the companion of his youth. Women were drawn to him, but Aegon remained ever faithful to his sisters. As king, he put great trust in his small council and his sisters, leaving much of the day-to-day governance of the realm to them…yet did not hesitate to take command when he found it necessary. Though he dealt harshly with rebels and traitors, he was open-handed with former foes who bent the knee.
