Where Is Alyssa Targaryen Buried In Westerosi Lore?

Gah, this is one of those little lore questions that turns into a rabbit hole fast. As far as I can tell from flipping through 'Fire & Blood' and the companion histories, there isn't a clear, canonical record that names a specific burial place for someone called Alyssa Targaryen. George R.R. Martin can be maddeningly thorough about kings and major queens, but a lot of minor or similarly named figures fall into the fog—so my first reaction is that the character you mean might be obscure, misspelled, or a fan-created figure rather than a well-documented historical person in the printed books.

If you’re trying to place a Targaryen corpse in-world, the usual resting places to consider are the family crypts beneath the Red Keep in King's Landing (where many Targaryen kings and queens are traditionally interred), Dragonstone (for those with strong ties to the island), or sometimes private burial sites on a lordly island or keep. There are also cases where bodies are lost at sea, burned by dragonfire, or not recorded in surviving chronicles, which is why a name can vanish from the record. My practical tip: check the family trees and indexes in 'The World of Ice & Fire' and 'Fire & Blood', and search the appendix of the books for variant spellings—'Alysanne', 'Alyssane', or even Velaryon connections could be what you actually mean. I love these little mysteries; if you can tell me where you first saw the name (a forum, fanfic, or a wiki), I’ll happily dig deeper with you.

If I had to give a straightforward reaction, it’s that I don’t recall any definitive statement in the main sources putting an 'Alyssa Targaryen' into a named tomb. People mix up names all the time—'Alysanne' (the famous sister-queen of Jaehaerys) is easy to confuse with 'Alyssa'—and Martin’s histories sometimes mention dozens of similar names without tidy burial details. So I’d treat the question as a prompt to check where the character came from before assuming a place like the Red Keep crypts or Dragonstone.

From a storytelling perspective, Targaryen burials vary wildly: some are honored with grand tombs in King's Landing, some are quietly buried on their home island, and some meet grimmer ends that leave no proper grave at all. If someone in a fan discussion claims Alyssa is buried under the Red Keep, that’s a reasonable guess because the royal crypts are where many Targaryens end up, but it wouldn’t be a verified citation unless it’s quoted from 'Fire & Blood' or another primary source. My go-to move when names blur is to search the family trees and the index of 'Fire & Blood' and follow links back to chapter references. If you want, tell me the exact context where you saw Alyssa’s name—I get a kick out of hunting down these tiny, overlooked threads in the tapestry of Westerosi history.

Short, practical take: there’s no clear canonical record of an 'Alyssa Targaryen' and therefore no confirmed burial site in the published histories. The safe things to say are that many Targaryens are traditionally interred in the family crypt under the Red Keep in King's Landing, while others are buried at Dragonstone or on their own holdings, and some never get a proper grave in the surviving chronicles. If the name popped up on a wiki or in fan fiction, it could be a non-canonical addition or a misspelling of a better-documented character like 'Alysanne'.

If you want to pin this down, check 'Fire & Blood' and 'The World of Ice & Fire' family trees or the indexes for variant spellings, and trace any chapter citations back to the original passages. I get curious about this kind of thing—if you drop where you saw the reference, I’ll happily help chase it down.
