Well to be fair on your point of Aegon and Rhaenys only having Aenys. Rhaenys did die during the first dornish war. Leaving Aegon unable to sire more children with her. And Aegon and Visenya's relationship grew increasingly distant as the years went on. Likely explaining why Maegor was the only child born between them.

Meagor was terrible. Holding together a kingdom through terror is just pushing its destruction further down the line. Being nice wasn't Anys's problem. Making bad decisions was. Same with Viserys.

Niceness isn't ineffective just as tyranny isn't strength. It's intelligence that's needed most of all.

Aenys reign is a perfect example of the ideal that the most dangerous time in a newly established ruling dynasty's reign is the second king. The Lords didnt rebel against Aegon because they both respected and feared him, as he had united six kingdoms through not only Fire and Blood, but also through wise and just rule, and respect for Westerosi traditions. Aenys didnt have that same respect, and so the lords would obviously test him, and obviously found him wanting. The fact that House Targaryen survived Aenys reign is a small miracle. Maegor, as cruel and vicious as he was, probably saved House Targaryen because he established the fear of their house in the Lords of Westeros, and breaking the militant power of those hyper conservative jackles of the Faith.

Maegor was arguably not a "bad" king. Bad being ineffective. He was quite effective. He was a cruel and horrible person. But he was an effective, strong and successful king.

Parallels between Aenys/Maegor and Viserys/Daemon I feel

Honestly, Viserys in HotD gives me Aenys vibes. Both King's just didn't really have it in them/what it took to be a truly competent king. Granted, I feel Maegor was too far on the extreme side, which isn't good either. If Aegon the Uncrowned had, well, been crowned as King, Maegor being Master of War and Visenya as hand (or shoot, do this during Aenys' reign, as a matter of fact) would've been ideal, and maybe would've worked out better As for the Targaryen Dynasty being a farce and all descendant from some other Valyrian bastard mothered by the Sister-wife Rhaenys, I don't think it would be fitting at all tbh. Like, it would ruin the storyline of the Targaryens for me, if I'm being honest. Targaryens have always been on and off with their fertility, so, not hard to believe that they just never got any more than 2 kids out of the decades of marriage.

Rhaenys loved Aegon, she had many artist around, but doesnt mean she will sleep with them. Visenya was loyal, and would never ever cheated due to her morals. And using magic well... but you still need a man to get pregnant, otherwise Maegor would be conceived without a father xD which is absurd.

At that time Maegor was actually responsible for keeping the Targaryen dynasty alive. Targaryens faced very tough times and they needed the tough king to deal with them. If only Aegon paid more attention while raising Maegor...

22:05 Now that's an addiction I can get behind

To start with, 1. No king should ever give anyone else Blackfyre. #2. The king has to put down rebellions. Nearest to farthest makes sense when you have dragons. 3. Your adult heir needs a rideable dragon, especially if his wife already has one. 4. Roast religious fanatics who insult and defy you. Start with nearest to furthest and you would probably never have to burn down the Starry Sept in Oldtown.

Imagine the Lord of the Eerie hanging out waiting for a siege and Balerion soars up lol

Was Aenys really depraved? I mean, yes, he was ineffectual. But Maegor alone fits the description of depraved

Yeah whatever point Aenys gets for not jumping to violence and trying diplomacy he immediately loses for not doing anything and just letting bad situations fester-including his own kids getting taken captive!

Honestly, I dont think Visenya used magic to conceive Maegor. Think about it, they already got two boys for the throne, so they just need a daughter to keep the bloodline pure. Sure, they can just have one of their sons marry a noblewoman to secure alliances but again, they have two sons. They can just have one of them marry his sister and the other marry a noblewoman. What Im trying to say is that Visenya couldve impregnanted herself with magic again to give Aegon a daughter.

Aegon effed up-whether Maegor came about naturally or no-Aegon SHOULD have taken Maegor with him. If Aegon wasn't going to disown him publicly, he should have gone ALL the way to include him. I hate to say this as a woman and a mother of sons, but Maegor was his Mother's Son. And Aegon let that shit happen. It was Aegon who couldn't make his mind up and follow through; it was Aegon who left it to Aenys to figure out. It was Visenya who was always really in charge. EDIT I'm saying-if Aegon raised his son, and Visenya raised her son...it's just maths, this was about the Hightowers and what THEY wanted, for themselves, not Aenys or Targaryen marriage, etc. The way it reads, the Targaryen's had a deal, in place, with the Hightowers BEFORE the invasion/conquering of Westeros.

Aegon probably should’ve had a couple of girls to even Aenys and Maegor out 😂

You name your kid that, what did you expect him to do?

I kinda lean in to the idea that rumors of Rhaenys possibly cheating on Aegon were started by Visenya in hopes of getting Aegon to weaken Aenys' kingship or just make Aegon doubt Rhaenys and look at Visenya more.

I don’t understand why Aenys did fly to the Castle and save his children?

Because the text doesn't actually support Aerys being Aegon's. Words Targaryen men and maesters say are the only thing that backs it and words are wind. Came from Valyria with 5 dragons. Of the 5, just Balerion is left at conquest. Meraxes, born sometime shortly before or after the Doom, around a century before the conquest. Vhagar, about 5 decades before the conquest. They aren't thriving. Absolutely nothing says they are doing well before the conquest. They are literally scrambling to fix the issue of no dragons hatching. They are dying. "The blood must remain pure" when there used to be other Valyrians to marry. Not siblings marrying for over a century with a couple of Valeryons thrown in. It's not a magic spell of conquering westeros that gives Aegon babies. It's a sperm donor and finally for the first time in over 5 decades a new dragon has hatched while Rhaenys is pregnant with Aenys. His half Massey half Valeryon wife Alyssa give us a mini boom with their kids and a major boom with their grandkids. More dragons just between Aenys & his kids than the Targaryens have had since Aegon and his sisters were born. And by the next generation, the Targaryens have more dragons than we have ever known them to have being "pure." New blood. Yes, the grandkids come from siblings, but their parents both brought new blood. Look at who has claimed Balerion. He's only the illusion of power. Aegon messed up too. Like Viserys, Aerea, and Maegor. His mess up takes longer to see. It wasn't hoarding the power and ruling over Westeros. They were supposed to rebuild a better Valyria. Marry into the Seven Kingdoms & spread the protection from the long night. Eggs still need to be regulated. Too much fire is just as deadly as no fire. BUT they were supposed to branch off and fix the problems of old Valyria.

Aenys was not so sweet as been portrayed. I feel somewhere he was arrogant too. He opposed Visenya's idea to get marry Rhaena and Maegor, later opposed Maegor's second marriage, stating faith as a reason. But when same faith opposed incest marriage between his children he didn't cared about them. Also Aenys never listened Visenya's good advice when she was actually trying to help him, in a way he was disrespectful towards her.

"No you cant get betrothed to your niece Maegor, infact now you have to marry the high septons niece who is not valyrian, much older than you and is defintely infertile *proceeds to fucking betroth said daughter to his son instead and starts a religious uprisng*

He should have taken Maegor as his enforcer, let him take the blame and do the dirty work that Aenys couldnt do himself (what robb should have done with Roose in the WOT5K, and what tywin does with amory lorch and gregor clegane) instead of banishing him. Maegor only really took the throne because no one else could, Visenya encouraged him to and not just because he was her son. Aegon was weak and trapped in the Westerlands by the faith. If Maegor didnt take the throne then everyone would see the Dragonlords as weak and declared independence.

@@someguyontheinternet2684 Yeah, this would also seem VERY odd given that in the future, Targaryens born from even more incest seem to be capable of producing like rabbits without any birth defects (Probably a result/perk of Valyrian blood), so if the theory of all Targaryens being descendents from bastards is true, it seems more likely that either Aegon "couldn't get it on" for one reason or another and the sisters just decided "Well, we gotta keep the family line going ONE way or another", that even though he loved his sisters, the love wasn't mutual (I mean both seemed to love spending their time either with other people or straight up away from Aegon) and he couldn't force himself on them and just went "Fuck it, 50% Targaryen is still Targaryen, good enough for me", or maybe a mix of both

@@user-kq5ci7ol8o I honestly just think Aegon had fertility issues which is why it was so hard for him to produce a son. And Rhaenys was the one he married for Love, Visenya was for duty. So with Rhaenys dead I doubt Aegon nor Visenya had that much interest to lay with each other anymore after Maegor was born.

@@someguyontheinternet2684 Oh, I misread then, you're saying that both kids ARE Aegons, and Aegon "couldn't get it on" that well so that's why he only had two, yeah ok I can buy that, I was just arguing that if we go for the "They're all bastards" theory, than either Aegon just straight up couldn't make children, or that despite them both Aegon, his sisters didn't love him enough to "Do the deed", though oddly enough I buy Visenya doing the deed more than I buy Rhaynera doing it

i think rhaenys had fertility problemsn not aegon. Long story short she had 1 weak and sickly son despite supposedly sleeping with aegon 10x more than visenya. As soon as she died, Visenya gets pregnant at 41 (considered very rare and dangerous at the time) and gives birth to a strong and healthy son.

You're funny.

Maegor and Aenys did nothing wrong.

Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen wasn't a bastard.

Aegon the conquerer is 100% the father of Aenys... Aegon had vision of the others marching south and he thought Westeros needed to be under Targaryen rule when the time comes. "...and OF HIS (Aegon) LINE the song of ice and fire shall be brought..." So his descendent(s) would help destroy the others, which means either every other following targs visions were wrong OR his kids were legitimate. Oh and Jon Snow is NOT a bastard, if you believe him to be the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, then you would also have to believe, that they had married (even in the books, everything points to them being in love) in secret so Jon Targaryen or whatever his real first name is is NOT a bastard.

King aenys to the faith You can't either let my brother take a second wife or let my children have hot brother on sister action. But you can't have bothe I'm surprised he didn't make that ultimatum at that point lol

Aenys was orphaned as a babe and whent into regression and even befor that he was sickly... He went on to bond with a dragon though and grew up to be about as tall as his dad. He would claim a dragon, marry the most suitable wife available and give his father 3 grandsons and 2 daughters who would become Dragonriders. Honestly none of what happened would've if Aegon didn't croak at f*ckin 64 years old. Another 5 years would've done the trick Aenys' son could've claimed Balerion the black dread and through Rhaena and Alysanne 2 lines of pure Valyrians could've been made and further generations could start marrying their cousins instead of their siblings and so on...

dude what orphan ? after his mothers death aegon throw everyone out and only kept up with him. He was so much there fro his him that he even absolutely neglected and choose to never be a father to his other son just so aneys dosent feel alone. he had all the love wealth power protection and lcaring people aroung him.

Jon Snow is not a Targaryen bastard. According to the show, Rhaegar and Lynanna were married. They were likely married in the books as well. Keep in mind that 3 Kingsguard were at the tower of joy. Kingsguard would only guard a legitimate heir, not a mistress and her bastard.

" according to the show " You see that's where you went wrong you should not use the show as a basis , the show broke the rules of the universe, Rhaegar was already married and never officially annulled his marriage so regardless if he married lyanna or not Jon would still be a basterd , rather he's ligetament or not is illrelavent they were ordered by the Prince to guard lyanna so that's what they did.

​@@thatoneblackdude3333you do realise george gave d and d the main plot points to work with on the show the annulment and marriage of lyanna likely being one of them, he had lyanna for almost a year btw easily enough time to find a maester get annuled and marry lyanna, don't forget Jon's whole storyline is him learning to live with being a bastard and what comes with it, him turning out to be the rightful heir is very important to his story it completely contrasts his upbringing and life throughout the series it's a huge plot point for any character to have

@@user-op6kt8pg9y he gave them the basic idea which could me fucking anything but considering he literally Said multiple times that the books will be different I don't think it matters , that's not how annulment works he needs permission from Aries who he had a bad relationship with and a high septom you can't just get a annulment on a whim like that otherwise what rhenerya and daemon did makes no since if they could just casually divorce there spouses, it also doesn't make since for Rhaegar to do that because he believed his aegon was the Prince that was promised he was planning to have a Visenya with lyanna why would he disinherit his believed savor son? , no Jon's whole character is wanting to be a stark him Turning out to truly not being one is a way bigger impact then being the hier to the throne because Jon doesn't care about the iron throne , yea his whole story is dealing with being a basterd so why ruin that by having him not actually be one ?

​@@user-op6kt8pg9ythats really stupid in the Show like the Showrunner Forgot that the setting are in Westeros were Divorce is Forbidden and Annullment is only Given by the King thru recommendation by the High Septon even in the North were the Worship of Old Gods forbid Divorce and still will ask the King for Annullment of Marriage especially concerning Couples belongs to Great Houses the only thing for Jon Snow to be considered Targaryen is thru Royal Approval legitimization again the King is the only one can approve that theres no way Aerys II will Grant any of that when he needed any help from Dorne.

Aenys the idiot 😂😂 love it

So the targeryns werent actually targeryns

Jon Snow isn't really a bastard, though.

I always pronounced his name as Anus for this reason

An us Targaryen

New headcanon inspired by this vid - Targs love inbreeding so much because very few of them had the attention span or the fortitude for marriage negotiations with other noble houses. Aenys here would have been too afraid to alienate the houses his kids *didn’t* marry into (so he alienated them all I guess, classic Aenys), and the rest were too busy barbecuing rivals, reminiscing over their grudges, or engaging in nutty Targ hobbies to be distracted by arranging political bethrothals etc for their kids.

Jon snow was not a bastard......

The show thatcwould not make sense. You think Dorne would take the insult and allow Elia's son and daughters to be bastards? Tge showrunners are idiots. Much of Rhaegars troops were southlanders. You think Dorne would fight for the Targeryans if Elia was divorced?
