Aegon IV is such an anomaly given that his dad, brother, son, and eldest grandson are all some of the best Targaryens to ever live. I wonder if that contributed to his general terrible-ness, knowing that he couldn't measure up. Hopefully Young Griff breaks the even-numbered Aegons curse.

IMO, Aegon IV is the worst Targaryen king, even worse than Aerys II. Aerys WANTED to be a good king, he was merely incompetent at it. He was at least smart enough to hire one of the best Hands ever to help him out, only to get jealous, and then go insane. From the very moment he was born, Aegon seemed to want to actively ruin anything and everything around him purely out of a mix of spite and hedonism.

5:09 You know your family is messed up when Aegon is technically correct and that is what Targaryen siblings are.

The sibling dynamic with Aegon, Aemon, and Naerys always interested me.

Seven Thanks for such a wonderful belated 32nd Name Day for me mate. It's perfect 😁

Usually the Targaryen Kings always had problems when it came to choosing their successors and thus they created a lot of wars or conflicts that plague Westeros for many years to come, but the Aegon the Unworthy spits in the face of both his Father and Uncle trauma of the Dance of the Dragons when he purposefully name all of his bastard children as legalized Targaryen, and he probably thought that both his sons Daeron and Daemon will be in each other throats for the kingship of the Iron Throne.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

another great video

I’m so hype for the Daeron the good video!

6:30 Viserys II is in the top 3 Targaryen kings in my opinion. Most likely Viserys saw what a monster Aegon was, and planned to disinherit him, most likely in favor of Daeron. Aegon somehow found out, and that’s why he poisoned him.

Great video, good ser.

17:50 this entire video being so reserved and then dropping "this guy sucked so much balls" is peak comedy

This is just my opinion, but not only do I think Aegon IV poisoned his father, but I think the reason why Aegon IV poisoned Viserys II is quite simple: Viserys was the last person who was controlling him. Perfect example, look at the mistresses of Aegon IV: He married off Aegon's first mistress to the master-at-arms at the Red Keep, Ser Lucas Lothston, and had her removed from court. He also put an end to Aegon's affair with his second mistress Megette and sent her back to her husband. As King, Aegon IV figured he could just do whatever he wanted with no one telling him what to do. It's the same reason he despised his son and heir Daeron II, because he dared to speak against him and call him out.

Aegon could’ve murdered his father because knowing the type of man his son was was going to relieve the dragon knight of his vows and make him heir or even skip Aegon altogether and make Daeron his heir. There are many reasons he “could” have killed the king

Where was Jaime when we needed him?

Honestly I think Aegon may have been telling the truth the entire time about Daeron. Nobody believed him because nobody liked him and everyone liked Daeron. Remember histroy doesnt remember BLOOD it remembers NAMES. Because Daeron was given the name Targaryen despite possibly being a bastard and having literally NO WAY of proving one way or the other means its hard to remove the name Targaryen from him. Meanwhile Daemon chooses to Name himself Blackfyre which ends up creating a Narrative that the Blackfyres are these "Others" and aren't equal to Targaryens despite both Daeron (bastard or not) and Daemon having Targaryens as both their Mother and Father. They both are 100% Targaryen and it would be totally GRRM if the Seven Kingdoms this entire time hated and had Bias against bastards mostly becauze of the Blackfyres only for the readers to find out that Daeron and Daemon were BOTH bastards with Daemon being the actual heir
