===Dance of the Dragons===
In {{Date|129}} at the start of the [[Dance of the Dragons]], King [[Aegon II Targaryen]] was [[coronation of Aegon II Targaryen|crowned in the Dragonpit]]. According to Grand Maester [[Munkun]], more than a hundred thousand [[smallfolk]] were jammed into the building, while the fool [[Mushroom]] claims the stone benches were only half-filled.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Blacks and the Greens}}

During the [[fall of King's Landing]] to Aegon II's rival, Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], the dragon [[Sheepstealer]] landed atop of the Dragonpit.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}

When Rhaenyra ruled the city, the Dragonpit housed nine dragons: [[Caraxes]], [[Vermithor]], [[Silverwing]], and Sheepstealer, who eventually flew off to battle, and [[Shrykos]], [[Morghul]], [[Tyraxes]], and [[Dreamfyre]]. The Dragonpit became the site of executions of traitors, rebels and murderers. For the price of three pennies, the people of the city were allowed to watch criminals be beheaded and their corpses fed to Rhaenyra's dragons.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} By {{Date|130}}, it had become the custom that at least one [[dragonrider]] resided in the Dragonpit, to rise to the defense of the city should this be necessary.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

Near the end of Rhaenyra's hold over the city, the five dragons that remained in the city were killed during the [[Storming of the Dragonpit]], when tens of thousands of crazed and starving smallfolk led by the [[Shepherd]] stormed the Dragonpit to kill the dragons. All four dragons remaining inside, as well as Rhaenyra's [[Syrax]], were killed in the struggle, as well as thousands of smallfolk. The Dragonpit was reduced to flaming ruins.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}

During the [[Moon of the Three Kings]], the Shepherd held sway over tens of thousands of people from the ruins of the Dragonpit. The heads of the five slain dragons were displayed on posts, between which the Shepherd preached every night.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}} Two days after Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] reclaimed the [[Red Keep]] in the name of Aegon II, the Shepherd was arrested amidst the ruins of the Dragonpit.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}} After Aegon II returned to the city, he commanded the Dragonpit be restored and rebuilt.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}}
