When Aenys’ eldest son, Jon Snow's historic namesake Aegon Targaryen, announced his claim to the throne, Maegor slew him and his dragon, where after he placed Aenys’ children Jaehaerys and Alysanne on Dragonstone as his mother’s wards. Maegor continued to battle the High Septon and Warrior’s Sons, where he executed dozens of Septons before one would marry him to his next wife. Maegor continued to marry as a result of his previous wives never giving him children, with the king taking six wives by the end of his life. The younger son of Aegon the Conqueror, Maegor seized the Iron Throne upon his brother’s death after spending years in exile for his polygamous marriage with Ceryse Hightower and Alys Harroway.

Following Aegon’s death from a stroke at age 64, the Iron Throne passed onto his eldest son, Aenys.

Aegon had two sons, Aenys I, with Rhaenys, and Maegor I, with Visenya. One such war featured the deaths of Rhaenys and her dragon, Meraxes, which only inspired Aegon’s wrath to grow harsher. Aegon’s 37-year reign featured numerous battles with House Martell on Dorne, who refused to bend the knee even after Rhaenys and her dragon had burned much of the territory. It was said that Aegon married Visenya, known as a fierce warrior, out of duty, while he wed his younger sister Rhaenys, notable for her beauty and love of the arts, out of desire. Born on Dragonstone, Aegon I Targaryen conquered Westeros’ kingdoms with his dragonrider sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, who he had also taken as his wives. Aegon I Targaryen, more commonly referred to as Aegon the Conqueror, was the first Targaryen to rule Westeros in Game of Thrones history and the founder of their dynasty.
