Notes
- ↑ It is unknown if this means one thousand years ago - seven hundred years before Aegon's Conquest - or if George R. R. Martin is being figurative.
- ↑ It is unclear if this means there have been thirteen other Kings of Meereen named Hizdahr, if he is the fourteenth member of the House of Loraq by that name, or if he is the fourteenth Loraq to rule as King of Meereen.
