[edit] Biography

Aerys Targaryen was the second son of Daeron II and Myriah Martell. He was very much interested in books like his father. After the dead of his father and his nephews Valarys and Matarys (sons of his elder brother Baelor Breakspear) in Great Spring Sickness (209 AL) Aerys became king. The plague continued some time under his rule. He appointed his uncle Brynden Rivers as Hand and let him rule while he occupied himself with the study of books and lore. Because his marriage with his sister Aelinor was childless he was succeded in 221 AL by his brother Maekar I.
