Comments of chapter undefined of House of the Dragon: Baelon the Mighty

I'm talking about the Targaryen's monopoly on dragons, the thing is that at the onset of the dance the royal house was at a very precarious position dragon wise, there were several male members of the family but not enough females, that means that there's going to be a lot more people with dragons with ties to outside families, then there's the Velaryons, who establish a very dangerous precedent allowing a person without the last name Targaryen to claim dragons, it means that if the royal family wants to create alliance through marriage they're forced to use male members, further isolating them politically. Plus as dragons multiply the likelyhood of a random dragonseed to claim one and just run with it becomes higher and higher as time goes on. The Targaryens may be at the height of their powers before the civil war, but their source of power was in jeopardy, the dance put an end to that (even at great loss to the royal family)
