Considering that he was ‘meek, mad, and sickly’, how was Rhaegel Targaryen able to marry so well? Did House Arryn basically marry off Alys to any available Targaryen and chose to ignore/tolerate his madness for the sake of advancing their connection to House Targaryen?

Well, for the whole of Aerys I’s reign, Rhaegel was his heir, and since Aerys was notoriously unuxorious, Rhaegel was extremely likely to inherit.

As @goodqueenaly can tell you, royalty have put up with a lot worse than madness for a shot at a crown…
