History
King Maegor I Targaryen, the brother of King Aenys I Targaryen, claimed the Iron Throne in 42 AC. Aenys's son, Prince Aegon, asserted his claim to the throne the following year.[1] Aegon and his dragon, Quicksilver, were surrounded and slain, however, in a great battle beneath the Gods Eye by Maegor riding Balerion, leading an army which included Houses Tully and Harroway.[2]
