After Aegon [[Aegon's Landing|landed]] on [[Westeros]] and began his [[Aegon's Conquest|conquest]], he dispatched his sisters to secure the submission of the nearest castles. [[Rosby]] yielded to Rhaenys and Meraxes without a fight. Afterwards, Rhaenys and Meraxes accompanied [[Orys Baratheon]] on his mission to subdue [[Argilac Durrandon]], the last [[Storm King]]. At the Battle of the [[Last Storm]], the wind and rain forced them to stay grounded, but even on the ground Meraxes slew many, engulfing Argilac's vanguard and the knights of his personal guard in [[dragonflame]]. Afterwards, Rhaenys flew Meraxes into the castle of [[Storm's End]] to parley with Argilac's daughter [[Argella Durrandon|Argella]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

After the stormlanders submitted, Rhaenys flew Meraxes to [[Stoney Sept]], to link up with her siblings, their dragons, and Aegon's army. They advanced south, where all three dragons took part in the decisive [[Field of Fire]] &ndash; the only battle in which all three of the Targaryen dragons took to the sky at the same time during Aegon's Conquest. Together, Meraxes, [[Vhagar]], and [[Balerion]] killed four thousand men, burning them alive. King [[Mern IX Gardener]] died, and with him [[House Gardener]]. The army was broken, and House Targaryen was victorious.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{Ref|AGOT|13}} 

Rhaenys next flew Meraxes to the [[Trident]] in the [[riverlands]], where she met with her brother and sister and their dragons, to face [[King in the North]] [[Torrhen Stark]]. [[Brandon Snow]], the [[bastard]] brother of Torrhen, offered to sneak into the Targaryen camp at night to slay the dragons, but the northern king refused the attempt, and instead sent his brother as an envoy, eventually bending the knee to the Targaryens.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Afterwards, Rhaenys flew Meraxes to [[Dorne]], to demand their submission. She did not find an easy conquest, as every castle she encountered was empty and abandoned, with only women and children and old men left in the towns and villages. Finally, she and Meraxes arrived in [[Sunspear]], where only the eighty-year-old [[Meria Martell]], [[Princess of Dorne]], remained. Meria told Rhaenys to inform Aegon that Dorne would neither fight nor kneel, and would have no king. Rhaenys warned Meria that the Targaryens would return, and departed Sunspear, leaving Dorne the only unconquered kingdom.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}
