Shae began an exclusive relationship with Tyrion Lannister during the time when he was fighting in the Lannister army as part of the Vanguard during the Battle of the Green Fork. When he was sent to King’s Landing to be acting Hand of the King, he took Shae with him in defiance of his father’s orders.

Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen

Drogo, a powerful Dothraki Khal and feared warrior met Daenerys, the “Mother of Dragons” in the first season. Their union was an arrangement by Illyrio Mopatis and Daenerys’s brother, Viserys Targaryen, who hoped to use Drogo’s Dothraki horde to win back the Iron Throne.

Jon Snow and Ygritte

Jon Snow and Ygritte are star-crossed lovers from the Night’s. At first, Jon rejected Ygritte’s advances, not only due to his vows but also because he did not wish to dishonour Ygritte and hurt her feelings, as sooner or later, he’d have to leave her and return to the Night’s Watch. Later they fall madly and share a deep yet short-lived affection.
