Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
queen myriah nymeros martell, newly crowned, at the coronation of her husband, king daeron ii. 184 AC.
A Martell sun, but ten years too young, (…) too fit as well, and far too fierce.
An old septon once claimed I was living proof of the goodness of the gods. (…) Why, if the gods were cruel, they would have made me my mother’s firstborn, and Doran her third. I am a bloodthirsty man, you see. And it is me you must contend with now, not my patient, prudent and gouty brother.

The wedding dance of Maron Martell and Daenerys Targaryen
(Not that Dany, the other one!)
Daenerys's betrothal to the Prince of Dorne, Prince Maron Martell, was brokered by her brother Daeron as part of the treaty bringing Dorne into the realm of the Iron Throne.
Maron had the Water Gardens built three leagues to the west of Sunspear for his new wife.

Queens and their Princesses 💖
Lady Dyanna Dayne was noblewoman of House Dayne of Starfall. She became the wife of Maekar I Targaryen, and was Princess of Summerhall through marriage to Maekar. She is the mother of Daeron, Aerion, Aemon, Aegon, Daella, and Rhae Targaryen. Unfortunately Dyanna died well before 209 AC, before Maekar’s accession to the throne. Thus, she was never able to be Queen Consort. She was Maekar I Targaryen’s only wife.

The Loves of Queen Nymeria
When Mors Martell took Nymeria to wife, hundreds of his knights, squires, and lords bannermen also wed Rhoynish women, and many of those who were already wed took them for their paramours. Thus were the two peoples united by blood. These unions enriched and strengthened House Martell and its Dornish allies.
For nine years Mors Martell and his allies (amongst them House Fowler of Skyreach, House Toland of Ghost Hill, House Dayne of Starfall, and House Uller of the Hellholt) struggled against Yronwood and his bannermen (the Jordaynes of the Tor, the Wyls of the Stone Way, together with the Blackmonts, the Qorgyles, and many more), in battles too numerous to mention. When Mors Martell fell to Yorick Yronwood’s sword in the Third Battle of the Boneway, Princess Nymeria assumed sole command of his armies. Two more years of battle were required, but in the end it was Nymeria that Yorick Yronwood bent the knee to, and Nymeria who ruled thereafter from Sunspear.
Though she married twice more (first to the aged Lord Uller of Hellholt, and later to the dashing Ser Davos Dayne of Starfall, the Sword of the Morning), Nymeria herself remained the unquestioned ruler of Dorne for almost twentyseven years, her husbands serving only as counselors and consorts.
Princess Arianne Nymeros Martell
Better known simply as Arianne Martell, is the eldest daughter of Doran Martell, the ruling Prince of Dorne, and his consort, Lady Mellario of Norvos. She is the heiress of Sunspear, and the future ruling Princess of Dorne.
She is described with large dark eyes, long thick back hair (ringlets specifically), short statured, and dresses in layers of flowing silks and jewels. She's fierce-tempered, adventurous, and calculating with multiple schemes of her own in the books.
