After the Dance of the Dragons, 1) Why did the Targaryens keep wedding brother and sister (Baelor married Daena, Aegon IV to Naerys)? With no dragons around, wouldn’t it have been smarter to wed them to powerful lords and ladies instead? 2) How come no Lords Paramount tried to secede from the Iron Throne, especially during the reign of Aerys I?

1. I’ve read some theories that trying to preserve the Targaryen mystique and look was a big deal in the post-Dance period, hence the brother-sister thing. 

2. In the reign of Aerys I specifically, you had the alternative approach of supporting the Blackfyres instead.
