Prince Aelor Targaryen was the son of Prince Rhaegel Targaryen and Lady Alys Arryn. He had a twin sister, Aelora, to whom he was married, and a younger sister, Daenora.[2][3]
History
When Dunk first encounters Aelor's cousin, Prince Aerion Targaryen, at Ashford Meadow, he initially wonders if Aerion might be Prince Valarr, Matarys, or one of their cousins, as he was aware that three of King Daeron II Targaryen's sons had sons of their own who were youths around his own age.[4] Aelor, the only son of Daeron's third son Prince Rhaegel Targaryen, was one of these sons.[3]
During the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen, some in the realm suspected the King's Hand Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers held the true power. Septon Sefton at Coldmoat lamented that none in House Targaryen could stand against him, including Aelor, who was only a child at the time.[5] Ser Kyle the Cat too distrusted Bloodraven and believed Aerys' eventual death would result in war between Bloodraven and Prince Maekar Targaryen, who he mistook as heir. Ser Maynard Plumm reminded him that Rhaegel and his children came before Maekar in the line of succession. Ser Kyle dismissed all three, claiming that Aelor and his twin Aelora were as good as dead, doomed to fall victim to Bloodraven or Maekar. Aelor's cousin, Prince Aegon Targaryen, fiercely insisted that his father would never harm Rhaegel or any of his children.[6]
After the death of Aelor's father in 215 AC, Aelor was named Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the throne by his uncle, King Aerys I Targaryen. Aelor was married to his twin sister, Princess Aelora. He died in 217 AC at the hand of his sister-wife through a freak accident, which left her mad with grief.[2]

A Feast for Crows
Discussing both their fathers' objections to them becoming maesters, Maester Aemon tells Samwell Tarly that his grandfather sent him to the Citadel because too many dragons were as dangerous as too few. He mentions that King Daeron had four sons, three of whom had sons of their own.[7] Aelor was one of the sons of the king's sons[3] alluded to by Aemon.[7]
Quotes
Rhaegel is feeble-minded. Why, I bear him no ill will, but the man is good as dead, and those twins of his as well, though whether they will die of Maekar's mace or Bloodraven's spells…[6]
