Aegon II was the sixth Targaryen monarch to sit the Iron Throne, inheriting the crown from his father, Viserys II. His father had intended Aegon's older sister Rhaenyra to inherit, but Criston Cole Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, caused Aegon to take the throne instead. Rhaenyra disputed his ascension which lead to the war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Aegon managed to defeat his sister, and fed her to his dragon, but died himself, which lead to his nephew, Aegon III taking the throne.
