"We only really saw one in Game of Thrones (not counting Jon Snow), but House of the Dragon more than made up for it with an entire show focused on Targaryens fighting Targaryens with a full fleet of dragons. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the latest Game of Thrones series, may have a much smaller scope, but we still see a number of Targaryens in Episode 2 - including some that have big effects on Westerosi history."
"HBO Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) is the current heir to the Iron Throne and Hand to the King when we see him in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. He's the eldest son of the current king, Daeron II (often called Daeron the Good), and his wife Myriah Martell, a Dornish princess. It's probably his Dornish heritage that gives him his dark hair that sets him apart from the other silver-haired Targaryens."
"Maekar Targaryen is dealing with his broher while worrying about his two missing sons. HBO Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) is Baelor's youngest brother. King Daeron actually had four sons, but only Baelor and Maekar traveled to the tourney. Aerys Targaryen, the second son, was far more interested in books than fighting, and Rhaegel Targaryen, the third son, was "touched with madness" and was mentally and physically unable to fight."
Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shows several Targaryens and their roles. Baelor Targaryen is heir to the Iron Throne and Hand to the King; he is the eldest son of King Daeron II and Myriah Martell and is distinguished by dark Dornish hair. Baelor is married to Jena Dondarrion and father to Valarr and Matarys; Valarr attends the Ashford tourney and Baelor vouches for Ser Duncan the Tall. Maekar Targaryen is Baelor's youngest brother; King Daeron had four sons, with Aerys preferring books and Rhaegel described as "touched with madness." Maekar has six children.
