Prince Aegon Targaryen was a member of House Targaryen and was the second child, and eldest son and heir, of King Aenys I Targaryen and Queen Alyssa Velaryon. He was a dragonrider who after his father's death rode his father's dragon, Quicksilver.

History

Youth

Aegon was born in 26 AC to Prince Aenys Targaryen and Lady Alyssa Velaryon.[1] In 37 AC, he was present with his younger brother, Prince Viserys, at Dragonstone, where their grandfather, King Aegon I Targaryen, was telling them tales of his conquests. While telling these tales, King Aegon the Conqueror suffered a stroke, and later died in peace.[2]

In 41 AC, during the reign of his father Aenys I, Aegon was married to his older sister, Rhaena. This incestuous marriage was the beginning of an uprising of the Faith of the Seven.[3] They would have two children, the twin girls Aerea and Rhalla Targaryen.[4][5]

Fight for the Throne

When Aegon's father, King Aenys I Targaryen, died in 42 AC, Aegon and his sister-wife were besieged at Crakehall. Upon learning that his uncle Maegor had taken the throne as King Maegor I, Aegon attempted to win back the throne that, as Aenys's heir, should be his. This resulted in both his own death, and the death of his dragon, Quicksilver, at the Battle Beneath the Gods Eye in 43 AC.[5]
