In {{Date|42}}, during the early phase of the [[Faith Militant uprising]], King [[Maegor I Targaryen]] used the [[dragonflame]] of [[Balerion]] in the [[burning of the Sept of Remembrance]] on the top of [[Rhaenys's Hill]]. Three years later, shortly after the completion of the [[Red Keep]]'s construction, Maegor ordered the construction of the Dragonpit, which he called "a great stone stable for [[dragon]]s".{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Because Maegor had killed all those who had built the Red Keep to hide its secrets, many of those hired to construct the building fled. Maegor eventually had to use city prisoners, with supervisors from [[Myr]] and [[Volantis]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

Construction of the Dragonpit continued during the reign of Maegor's successor, King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]], initially led by Jaehaerys's [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Rogar Baratheon]] of [[Storm's End]]. In {{Date|49}}, Rogar [[Golden Wedding|married]] the [[Regent|Queen Regent]], [[Alyssa Velaryon]], in the Dragonpit, witnessed by forty thousand people.{{ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} Rogar wished to complete the Dragonpit before Jaehaerys came [[age of majority|of age]] and would start to rule on his own, but found himself lacking the proper funds to continue construction by {{Date|50}}.{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} After Jaehaerys assumed rule on his own, his newly-appointed [[master of coin]], [[Rego Draz]], secured funds by loaning gold from the banks of [[Iron Bank of Braavos|Braavos]], [[Tyrosh]] and [[Myr]].{{Ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}} By {{Date|52}}, King Jaehaerys would often visit the Dragonpit to keep an eye on the progress of its construction.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} Eventually, due to all of the taxes imposed by the master of coin to pay for the Dragonpit's completion and the other improvements on King's Landing, Rego's popularity plummeted significantly.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}}

Construction on the pit was finally completed in {{Date|55}} and [[Tourney for the completion of the Dragonpit|a great tourney]] was held in celebration. Ser [[Lucamore Strong]], the victor of the melee, was rewarded with the white cloak of the [[Kingsguard]].{{ref|FAB|Birth, Death and Betrayal under Jaehaerys I}}
