As we're just listing potential influences and similarities, I see her as similar to:

##Empress Matilda

Empress Matilda

  • Sister of the successor to the throne (Viserys/William Adelin)
  • Moved abroad when just a child
  • Became ruler overseas (Mereen and Khaleesi/German Queen and Queen of Italy)
  • Married a foreign ruler as a child who dies while she was still young (Khal Drogo/Henry V HRE)
  • Later married another foreign ruler to strengthen her position (Hizdahr zo Loraq/Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou)
  • Both are described as being beautiful

Also in both cases there was a rebellion started by a nobleman named Robert. However in aSoIaF it was against the Targaryens, whereas Robert of Gloucester rebelled against King Stephen, so not a direct comparison and most likely a coincidence even if Matilda was an inspiration for Dany.
