History

Youth

Born in exile,[N 1] Daemon was the eldest son of Haegon,[1] who was the fourth son of Daemon I Blackfyre.

Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion

Following the death of his father Haegon and the escape of House Blackfyre's greatest supporter, Aegor Rivers, Daemon was crowned king by Aegor, who was called Bittersteel.[1] He led the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion and together with Bittersteel and the Golden Company he landed on Massey's Hook. Few rallied to Daemon's banners, however. King Aegon V Targaryen rode out to meet him, with his three sons by his side. Eventually, in the Battle of Wendwater Bridge, Daemon was slain by Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard and the Blackfyres suffered a shattering defeat.[3]

Notes

  1. While Daemon's birth year is unknown, his father Haegon was born in or between 189 AC and 193 AC, meaning that Haegon had been between the ages of six (his older brother was seven) and three when he went into exile, too young to father children.
