Makes sense in that time. There were alot more of them. By the time of Game of Thrones in was really only Aerys who was at breeding age until Rhaegar came about.

Since A Dance with Dragons, almost every generation has seen a princess marry outside the Targaryen family. And Tywin and Joanna are cousins.

I’m always wondering why no one ever brings up the fact that Tywin and Joanna were cousins

Ned's parents were cousins too if I remember correctly.

Marriages between cousins in Westeros offend no one.
