One interesting thing I’ve observed is how alike the fates of Rhaena (Queen in the West and the East), Rhaenys (the Queen who never was) and Rhaenyra (the half-year Queen) are.

All three of these women were brought down by the cruel patriarchal system of Westeros.

But notice how adored and respected Rhaena and Rhaenys are by people in this fandom (as well as in Westeros history), compared to Rhaenyra.

Why?

Because Rhaena and Rhaenys sat back and never “dared” to do anything about the injustice they endured.

Rhaenyra did.

And for that, the maesters of the Citadel, who are not only upholders of the patriarchal system but also Hightower lickspittles, did not hesitate to attack her and spew lies about her. And most of these lies concerned her personal life.

Constant talk about her weight, even though the usurping king and his queen consort were both overweight from birth. Constant talk about her children’s parentage, even though there was never any actual proof of what her first three sons looked like and whether or not they inherited Baratheon and/or Arryn genes. Constant talk about how her husband was “unfaithful” (once again, without any proof).

As such, anything bad written about Rhaenyra Targaryen is hard to accept as fact.

Dance of the Dragons - seeds of the story: mentions of the Dance in the 5 main A Song of Ice and Fire books (1996-2011)

before the publication of The Princess and the Queen (2013), The Rogue Prince, The World of Ice & Fire (2014) and Fire & Blood (2018)

Let's get really nerdy and see how GRRM, with his "gardening" style of writing, gradually came up with the story that is currenly being adapted as House of the Dragon!

The Dance is first mentioned in the first book in the series, A Game of Thrones (1996), as a Targaryen brother-sister civil war, and the subject of songs that are popular in Westeros.

You will probably never guess who were the first characters from this story to be mentioned in the text of the main series...

(the screenshot quotes contain spoilers for the fates of some of the HotD characters)

The first Dance characters to be mentioned are the twin brothers Erryk and Arryk Cargyll, in an early Bran chapter. (spoiler!)

The Dance as the subject of songs is also mentioned in an Arya chapter:

AGOT also has a chronology of Targaryen kings at the end of the book, but there are some big differences from where GRRM would later take the story:: Rhaenyra is only 1 year older than Aegon, and Viserys II is her grandson rather than son.

ETA: next (thanks for this additional info that I missed, @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly ):

The Hedge Knight (1998), the first of the Dunk & Egg novellas, reveals Rhaenyra's ultimate fate (spoiler! which was also spoiled in season 3 of GoT), and also describes the death of the last dragon:

A Clash of Kings (1998): In a Tyrion chapter, Sansa mentions the fate of Erryk and Arryk again (spoilers again), which seems to be the most popular part of the Dance for the singers.

A Storm of Swords (2000):

Davos chapter: Stannis calls Rhaenyra a usurper, which is highly ironic considering he is on Dragonstone and preparing to keep fighting for his throne that has been usurped... but that may not have been the intention, since this was probably written before GRRM had worked out the details of the succession crisis. In retrospect, we can ascribe that to the fact that Rhaenyra was described as a usurper by the Westerosi historians and Aegon II listed as the true king, and that Stannis goes by what official history is saying.

We also get the first mention of Otto Hightower, described as one of the bad/failed Hands of the King, but there's no indication here that he was in any way involved with the Dance (and there won't be until The Princess and the Queen).

Ryam Redwyne - another, but very minor character from HotD, is also mentioned as one of the Hands, after being mentioned early in AGOT as a Kinsguard (in the show he was just the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and not also the Hand), but he dies before the Dance in both book and show and plays no real role in the events leading up to it.

Also in ASOS - another mention of Dance of the Dragons - the popular song, one of those sung at Joffrey's wedding to Margaery (Tyrion's chapter).

Finally, also in ASOS, Jaime thinks about how the Kingsguard was divided during the Dance:

A Feast for Crows (2005): At this point, GRRM had come up with Criston Cole, and there's a bunch of references to him, and the first mention of Viserys choosing Rhaenyra as heir.

But first, another mention of Dance of the Dragons, the song, in a Sansa chapter:

First mention of Criston Cole is, fittingly, in the Arys Oakheart chapter. Arianne is the one to bring him up. She also mentions that Viserys wanted Rhaenyra to succeed him.

(If Stannis' mention of Rhaenyra is ironic, there are multiple levels of irony in Arianne identifying with Rhaenyra! She condemns a female heir being usurped by her brother, while she is herself trying to organize a usurpation in the other direction - and Arys is not smart enough to point out that 1) Viserys wanted Rhaenyra to succeed him and she fought for her throne; but no one has named Myrcella heir and she's just a pawn and hasn't expressed any wish to do that? And Arianne is really doing all of that because she fears that her father does not want her to succeed him, the opposite of Viserys. Dorne has absolute primogeniture while the rest of Westeros has male preference primogeniture, and Viserys never changed that, he just picked his heir... Arianne believes is that her father will ignore the customary rules of succession and instead choose the child he prefers to be his heir. Girl, you may be comparing yourself to Rhaenyra, but in that scenario in your head, you'd be Aegon.)

The second mention of Criston Cole is, of course, in a Jaime chapter. GRRM really using him for the knight/Kingsguard theme. It seems his role in the Dance was conceived as bigger than what GRRM finally wrote (let alone bigger than on HotD), since he still hadn't conceived Otto's and Alicent's role in the events.

And also in AFFC, an obligatory mention of Erryk and Arryk (spoiler), in a Cersei chapter. She may be thinking of them in the context of Loras and Bronn, but it's very fitting that she's thinking about siblings fighting each other while she's obsessing over her brother Tyrion (with whom she has a lot more in common than either would ever like to admit) as her biggest enemy, in her head at least.

A Dance with Dragons (2011):

Even though the title is a reference to the civil war, there were just two mentions of it I could find. However, they introduce some new details and reference some other characters.

Tyrion (at this point an infamous Kinslayer!), staying in Pentos in Illyrio's mention, debates a very minor detail from the Dance with Illyrio's Haefmaester Haldon, concerning a bold but very dumb knight called Byron Swann. First mention of Aemond, as well as of Rhaenyra's dragon Syrax, and the fact that Aemond rode Vhagar (who had been mentioned a lot already as a Conquest dragon, but this is the first time we learn she participated in the Dance, and also the first time she's confirmed to be female).

It's interesting that we see here that Tyrion is reading his histories paying attention to the details, questioning them, and noticing when they aren't making sense. Just the way that Martin's "historical" accounts by Maester Gyldayn and Maester Yandel are meant ot be read. For comparison, this is the account of the event and the multiple versions of what happened, from Fire & Blood:

Back to ADWD, the second mention of the Dance is in a Dany chapter. She is thinking to herself about the monstrosity and danger of dragons (prompted by a certain event with Drogon) and thinks in that context about Rhaenyra's fate, previously revealed in The Hedge Knight and now mentioned for the first time in the main series (spoiler again!):

And that's all as far as mentions I was able to find. The Dunk and Egg novellas, if I haven't missed anything, don't have any references to the Dance. Maybe there still wasn't enough time passed for the Dance to become just a subject of songs, but at the same time, it was not contemporary enough, and everyone is instead far too busy with the Blackfyre rebellions.

TL:DR:

Characters from the Dance mentioned in ASOAIF: Erryk and Arryk, Vhagar (but only as a Conquest dragon and with no mention of her participation in the Dance), Aegon II, Rhaenyra, Aegon III in the Targaryen line rather than the main text (AGOT), Otto Hightower (but with no mention of his role in the Dance) in ASOS, Criston Cole (AFFC), Aemond, Syrax, Byron Swann; Aegon II's dragon Sunfyre is referenced but not named. Vhagar's involvement is confirmed in ADWD.

Some pretty big differences: there was no mention at all that Rhaenyra and Aegon were half-siblings - which would only be revealed in The Princess and the Queen, where we first learn that Alicent Hightower was Aegon's mother. (ETA: outside of the text, GRRM first mentioned this in 2006, so after the publication of AFFC, and while he was still working on ADWD, so he would've come up with this at some point while working on ADWD, and before ADWD was published.) Rhaenyra was also said to be 1 year older than Aegon, but tPatQ makes her 10 year older (and the show aged down Alicent and her kids and made the age difference between the half-siblings even bigger). Viserys II was supposed to be Aegon III's son rather than Rhaenyra's.

I think this is how GRRM probably came up with the story of the Dance, with his "gardening" style of writing:

1) came up with the idea of two twin brothers with incredibly similar names fighting each other on the opposite sides of a civil war, as one of the tragic tales songs are made about;

2) decided the war would be a fantasy version of the Anarchy - the 12th century English civil war (just like War of the 5 Kings waa inspired by the Wars of the Roses) between cousins Mathilda and Stephen, only bloodier, with dragons, and make them Targaryen brother and sister. He came up with the poetic name "Dance of the Dragons". The only characters aside from Erryk & Arryk thought up at this point are Rhaenyra, Aegon II (full siblings, she a year older) and Aegon III. Aegon III is already "Dragonbane", dragons said to have died off in his reign. Viserys II is Aegon III's son at this point, before GRRM realised that he's bad at math and had messed up the timeline and that this was impossible, and that Viserys had to be older and Aegon III's brother.

2a) At some point while working on the original trulogy (which may or may not have been after the publication of AGOT, as it was first revealed in 1998 in The Hedge Knight) he also comes up with Rhaenyra's death as a way to explain Aegon III's hate of dragons.

3) Writing AFFC and ADWD, he invents more details to be mentioned in the main series as thematically relevant. He creates Criston Cole, "Kingmaker" (nickname inspired by Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick's nickname, even though he has virtually no other similarity to Cole), credited as the guy behind thd war, described as a controversial Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and an angry ex-lover of Rhaenyra. Cole gets mentioned in Jaime's and Arys' chapters as a thematic link with the theme of Kingsguard knights and their honor. The Dance gets mentioned by Arianne - for the themes of succession crisis, female heirs, father/daughter relationship (first memtion that Viserys wanted Rhaenyra to succeed him.

4) Writing ADWD, GRRM is planning a second Targaryen civil war between Dany and Young Griff, so he gives the novel a title accordingly, but in the end he just sets it up for the next book. The title still stays, but becomes more about literal dragons. He comes up with more details, which are about the literal dragons who participated in the Dance, including an incident of dragon vs human, to include in a story about how dangerous dragons can be. .

4a) Vhagaris first confirmed to have participated in the Dance, and Aemond is mentioned for the first time ever, as her rider and Aegon II's brother who fought on his side, because GRRM, per his usual MO, wouldn't want the oldesrt and largest dragon to be ridden by either of the rival monarchs, and he has a thing about second sons. He already had two pairs of Targaryen brothers called Aegon & Aemon (Aegon IV & Dragonknight, Maester Aemon & Egg) but he tweaks the name a little.

5) GRRM probably goes on to write a bunch of other stuff from Targaryen history and Dance, especially to tie it up with the upcoming Targaryen civil war in TWOW. It goes faster than the main plot of TWOW, so it gets turned into a novella, and other supplementary material.

He finally comes up with the idea that Rhaenyra and Aegon II were half-siblings with a big age difference, and needs Aegon's mother to be from a powerful Westerosi family and her father a Hand of the King. Probably gets reminded that he mentioned Otto Hightower in ASOS, as one of the bad Hands, decides "I can make him Aegon's grandfather."

The character of Alicent Hightower is created, and the story completely reframed as a conflict between two women, as seen in the novella title "The Princess and the Queen, or the Blacks and the Greens".

At the same time, he creates Daemon, anti-hero "rogue prince" uncle-husband to Rhaenyra. The only historical Daemon mentioned in ASOIAF before was Daemon Blsckfyre. GRRM says "what if he was named after this guy?" He gets so into the character he writes a prequel novella about him, too.

And a bunch of other details get worked out in the two novellas, then in The World of Ice and Fire, and then even more added and expanded in Fire & Blood.

“The whole point of the story is that both Rhaenyra and Aegon were unfit to rule.”

Wrong.

The point of the story is that in a patriarchal society, women would get usurped regardless what they do, and what kind of people they are.

Rhaena (firstborn child of King Aenys)

Rhaenys (only child of Prince Aemon, eldest son and heir of King Jaehaerys I)

Rhaenyra (firstborn child of King Viserys I)

The Dance of the Dragons is about how Rhaenyra Targaryen was usurped by her evil and greedy stepmother in favor of her own son (the story was originally called “The Princess and the Queen”).

This is an absolute monarchy. More than half of the monarchs who sat that throne, were unfit to rule. Nobody cares about that.

It’s about who is the rightful ruler.

The rightful ruler was Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (just like Empress Matilda had been the rightful Queen of England).

And as a plus, out of all of King Viserys’ children, Rhaenyra is obviously the most qualified/most competent to sit the Iron Throne. There is no question about that.
