Editing Daemon Targaryen (section)

===Early life===
Daemon was born as the second son of Prince [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon Targaryen]] and his sister-wife, Princess [[Alyssa Targaryen]], in {{Date|81}}, during the reign of his grandfather, King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]. He had one older brother, [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys]], as well as one younger brother, [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Baelon)|Aegon]], who died in infancy.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}}{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Within a fortnight of Daemon's birth, Alyssa took the child flying on [[Meleys]].{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Daemon was free spirited and adventurous in his youth.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

Daemon was [[knight]]ed at sixteen, and at some point King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] gave him [[Dark Sister]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}{{refn|group="N"|''[[Fire & Blood]]'' does not explicitly state when [[Dark Sister]] was given to Daemon Targaryen by [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|King Jaehaerys]]. It is plausible that happened between {{Date|101}}, after the previous wielder of Dark Sister, [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Prince Baelon]], died, and {{Date|103}}, before Jaehaerys's death.}}

In {{Date|97}}, Daemon married Lady [[Rhea Royce]], the heir to [[Runestone]], but he disliked both her and the [[Vale of Arryn]]; Daemon referred to his wife as his "[[bronze]] bitch".{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} During the [[Great Council of 101 AC]], Daemon supported the claim of Prince Viserys, as it would make Daemon the heir after his brother. Daemon gathered a small army of [[sworn sword]]s and [[men-at-arms]] when it was rumored that Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] was readying a [[Velaryon fleet|fleet]] to defend the rights of his son, [[Laenor Velaryon]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}}
