Editing Balerion (section)

===Further life===
Prince [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon Targaryen]] smacked Balerion on his snout the first time the boy entered the Dragonpit.{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} When Princess [[Alyssa Targaryen]] came to the Dragonpit to claim a dragon of her own in {{Date|75}}, the Dragonkeepers persuaded her not to try and claim Balerion, insisting that the dragon had become old and slow, suggesting to her that she would much more prefer a faster dragon.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}
 
The last rider of Balerion was Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]], who entered the Dragonpit to claim the dragon in {{Date|93}}. Balerion was hard to rouse, and struggled when Viserys urged him into the sky. They flew around King's Landing three times, although Viserys later confided to his father that he had originally intended to fly Balerion to [[Dragonstone]]. However, fearing the dragon lacked the strength to do so, Viserys had opted otherwise.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

Balerion died in {{Date|94}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} less than a year after Viserys claimed him as his mount.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}
