===Aegon's Conquest=== [[File:The queen and vhagar by silvaticus-d94j1f8.jpg|thumb|400px|Vhagar and her rider, Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]], by [http://silvaticus.deviantart.com Silvaticus] Β©]] After Aegon [[Aegon's Landing|landed]] on [[Westeros]] and began his [[Aegon's Conquest|conquest]], Visenya flew Vhagar to [[Stokeworth]], where crossbowmen loosed bolts until the dragon set the roofs of the castle keep ablaze. Following Aegon's first coronation, Visenya, upon Vhagar, accompanied the Targaryen fleet, commanded by [[Daemon Velaryon]], to take [[Gulltown]]. In the [[battle in the waters off Gulltown]], the [[House Arryn|Arryn]] fleet defeated the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] fleet, sinking one-third of the ships and capturing near as many. Then, Visenya descended, and burned the ships of the Arryn fleet.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Visenya then flew to [[Crackclaw Point]] with Vhagar, to accept many pledges of fealty from the local lords. She then flew Vhagar 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]] – the only battle in which all three of the Targaryen dragons took to the sky at the same time during Aegon's Conquest. Together, Vhagar, Meraxes, 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}} Visenya next flew Vhagar 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, Visenya flew Vhagar back to the Vale, where she landed with her dragon in the inner courtyard of the [[Eyrie]]. When Dowager Queen [[Sharra Arryn]] reached the courtyard she found her young son, King [[Ronnel Arryn (king)|Ronnel Arryn]], sitting on Visenya's knee, staring with wonder at Vhagar. The young king begged his mother for a ride on Vhagar's back. Sharra bent her knee and surrendered, and Ronnel rode on Vhagar thrice about the summit of the [[Giant's Lance]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}
