The Broken Reign of Aegon the Dragonbane

Ойын-сауық

In the aftermath of the Dance of the Dragons, a new king Aegon Targaryen takes the Iron Throne of Westeros. Aegon III's reign is the gloomiest and most depressing in ASOIAF history. He is shown as a baby in House of the Dragon season one, and we'll have to wait to see how much of his life is covered by the HBO adaptation. Aegon the Dragonbane was melancholy to the end of his days, and his legacy is nothing compared to his sons Daeron and Baelor, a couple of the kings of all time in Game of Thrones lore.

    I genuinely believe that Aegon III was by far one of the most competent Kings that the Seven Kingdoms ever could have needed after such a destructive civil war. He was careful with the economy as he wasn’t wasteful with tourneys or feasts, but he used that money to help the economy grow after so much was lost in the war. He wasn’t war hungry compared to others Kings, instead he was always trying to avoid conflicts whenever possible, unless it affected his family directly. He was as a prideful or devious so there wasn’t a disruptive court, unless you count individuals like Unwin Peake during his early years. Finally he create a stable succession line with his sons and brother and his children who by all accounts were odd characters, but they created great legacies for their house, except for Aegon the fourth who destroyed all that work in a matter of years. Really Aegon the Third may be remembered as a dour king, but one who did his duty in the greatest fits of depression.

    That’s probably not the case since his daughter Daena named her own son after Daemon because “he was both the wonder and terror of his age”… Secondly, Aegon also didn’t name any of his kids Rhaenyra either even though he adored his mother. Lastly, Jaehaera’s fam literally caused the death of his entire family, with granny Alicent even motivating her to kill him during her delirious episodes, so that “shame” would have been mutual.

Daemon's children were the only Targaryens to survive the Dance. Granted, Aemond's own bastard son may yet live, which would be cool. Maybe the Hightowers have him in Oldtown somewhere, or the Arbor, and have a secret Targaryen lineage that's just hiding out there, away from the drama.

    @@thalmoragent9344 yeah probably however all that child will be is a bastard only daemons and rhaenyera’s children are known as royals. I just find it fascinating that out of the dance all the Hightower/targaryen bloodlines pretty much die my guess is as a punishment and yet rhaenyera’s and daemons are the Targaryens that survive however rhaeynera had to suffer so much losing all her first borns expect for aegon the 3rd as he is technically a firstborn from daemon and rhaenyera’s bloodline. I believe rhaenyera actually cursed aegon the 2nd and his bloodline to die so none of the Hightowers/targaryens survived. Aegon the 2nd also made a Marty out of rhaenyera as well most people don’t realise that since even after aegon killed her many still fought for her and her cause which succeeded in getting her bloodline to the throne. The only thing I didn’t like was Cregan leaving all the greens alive when he wanted to kill the traitors which he really should’ve done as it would send a message about traitors and protected aegon the 3rd from anymore backstabbing that might happen. Not to mention if only visenya and maegor could see what became of their house they would be absolutely disgusted since they built it and saved it from annihilation in the pass.

    @Mcherri I heavily disagree. Visenya and Maegor did far more harm than good. Maegor darn near ended their Dynasty, and notice how Jaehaerys used the Doctrine of Exceptionalism instead of brute force to make peace? As for the Greens, I don't think Cregan had any right to continue the war. Leaving Aegon's supporters alive is totally fine, unless you're saying you think that a war with Casterly Rock, Storm's End, and especially Oldtown would be a good idea. Especially Oldtown, the most well managed city in Westeros, above King's Landing in just about every way other than not being the Capital. All that extra death and destruction, after the main war was already over? Cregan Stark speaks of treason yet Rhaenyra committed treason 3 times over, and even Lyonel Strong didn't agree with what Harwin and Rhaenyra did. As for Aegon making a Martyr of Rhaenyra, well, same would've happened had she killed Aegon. The Civil War had multiple great houses allying with either Side, and both claimants had their own reasons for claiming the Throne as theirs. Not to mention, if the Targaryen dying out somehow is "justice" for the war, doesn't that mean that all of House Strong and its bastards dying out has a meaning too? I always see people say that the Greens died out due to them being "traitors" yet the southern half of the Realm argues that Rhaenyra and her Black Council were the traitors, and her first 3 bastard sons were all killed off as well, so how come that doesn't count for anything? Overall, the Dance shouldn't have happened, and Viserys holds much of the fault, something Team Black or Green fans should be able to acknowledge. That, and Cregan's wish for more war was also foolish, cause no way he'd be able to handle the South Western half of Westeros, not to mention that even if he did succeed, he'd certainly ran into a lot more trouble, and more people would've died for nothing but Cregan's bloodlust and old alliance he made with Jaecerys, who's long dead at this point

    Aren’t they simultaneously Aegon’s half-sisters, step-sisters, and cousins? Since they have the same father (making them half siblings), and their parents marry each other (making them step siblings), and since Daemon is Rhaenyra’s uncle, that makes Baela/Rhaena some variation of cousin to Aegon as well - I think first cousin once removed.
