![]() All the lands east of the Gods Eye from the Trident to the Blackwater Rush were offered as her dowry, although the lands did not belong to Argilac. The Storm King, Argilac Durrandon, reached out to Aegon, proposing a marriage between Aegon and his only daughter, Princess Argella. No borders were painted upon the Painted Table, however, as Aegon believed it should be one realm instead of seven. He had a huge wooden table made, cut in the shape of Westeros with a map of the seven kingdoms of Westeros painted upon the surface. ![]() He had previously visited the Citadel of Oldtown and the Arbor in the Kingdom of the Reach with his elder sister Visenya, and he might also have visited Lannisport in the Kingdom of the Rock. The ConquestĪs the Century of Blood came to an end, Aegon's interest in Westeros grew. Shortly after, Aegon returned to Dragonstone. Aegon next flew to Lys, where he burned a Volantene fleet before it could attempt to invade the city. When Pentos and Tyrosh asked Aegon for his aid in their struggle against Volantis, Aegon, Lord of Dragonstone, flew to Pentos atop of Balerion to meet with the Prince of Pentos and the city's magisters. Aegon had claimed the dragon Balerion for his own prior to his marriage. It is believed that he married Visenya out of duty-because as his elder sister he needed to wed her to secure his succession-but he married Rhaenys out of love. According to Valyrian and Targaryen tradition, Aegon married within the family however, instead of taking only one sister to wife, as had been common, he married both of them. He had an older sister, Visenya, and a younger sister, Rhaenys. History Early lifeĪegon the Conqueror, by Magali Villeneuve in The World of Ice & FireĪegon was born on Dragonstone in 27 BC to Lord Aerion Targaryen and Lady Valaena Velaryon. Aegon was a dragon dreamer according to another semi-canon source. According to a semi-canon source, he followed the Faith of the Seven for political reasons. Īegon is not considered to have been particularly pious. While he was harsh with those who defied him, he was generous to those that bent the knee. Aegon remained faithful to his sisters and left governance in their hands and only took command when necessary. The king was a great warrior who only rode his dragon, Balerion, for battle or travel and never entered tourneys. He was a solitary person whose only friend was Orys Baratheon, who was widely believed to be his bastard half-brother. Īegon was seen as an enigma even to his contemporaries. His crown was a simple circlet of Valyrian steel, set with big square-cut rubies. During his Conquest he typically wore a shirt of black scales into battle and wielded Blackfyre, a bastard sword made of Valyrian steel. Aegon was tall, broad-shouldered and powerful in appearance, with purple eyes and short-cut silver-gold hair.
