Prince Maegor Targaryen was the son of Prince Aerion and Princess Daenora Targaryen.[2]
History
Born in 232 AC, Maegor was given his name by his sire who died the same year he was born. According to a semi-canon source, this name was a provocation, since King Maegor I Targaryen had a poor reputation.[3] Prince Aerion died later that year from drinking wildfire.[1]
After the death of his grandfather, King Maekar I Targaryen, Maegor was one of the claimants in the Great Council of 233 AC. Only a few spoke for him, and his claim was turned down because he was an infant and there were fears Maegor would inherit his father's madness. His uncle Aegon V Targaryen was instead chosen king.[1]
