Cole was launching an attack to take it

over unfortunately this attack was just

a ploy as aan and aegon made their

appearances on their dragons killing

Ries in an epic yet devastating fight I

am only caught up to the show but I can

tell this will have long lasting effects

of what is to come with Rene's Rebellion

aegon Targaryen ivth known as aegon the

Unworthy was the 11th Targaryen to sit

on the iron throne and is considered by

many to be one of the worst Targaryen

Kings he is the great grandson of King

viseris and at around the age of 10

years old his mother had passed away at

about 18 he was married to his sister

princess NES and their marriage was not

a happy one his sister liked her brother

aan more but she went through with the

marriage anyways during their bedding on

their wedding night she would not stop

crying but they ended up having a child

known as Dron eventually Aon ended up

having an affair with his cousin Dana

and she gave birth to a bastard known as

Damon at this time this was not the

first bastard aegon had as he already

had two others from different women

eventually aegon became king as some

believe he poisoned his father to hasten

his inheritance of the Iron Throne Aon

was a very corrupt ruler and he had many

bastards over his reign with as many as

nine different women he filed his court

with those who could amuse him rather

than those who were wise and honest and

the women at court would let him pursue

them in whatever way he wanted at some

point aegon had accused his sister wife

of adultery with their brother in which

aegon claimed that Dron is not his child

but instead was Aman's there was a trial

by combat to settle this matter where

aan was able to successfully defend

himself but because this happened in the

first place the rumors still spread

about over the years aegon indulged more

and more in his Pleasures where he

eventually became extremely obese to the

point that his legs could barely support

his own weight on his deathbed he

legitimized all of his bastard children

which resulted in a huge issue for the

line of succession as Damon rumored to

be aegon's favorite child despite being

a bastard declared himself the rightful

Heir which tore the Seven Kingdoms into

an allout Civil War Damon Blackfire the

first the bastard son of Aon ivth took

on the name Blackfire naming himself

after the ancestral Valyrian steel sword

of House Targaryen which his father had

previously given to him although aegon's

legitimate son drron was 11 years older

than Damon because aegon made the

accusations he did against his wife

Damon was able to run with that and

gathered support from multiple Noble

houses with that being said drron was

still made King where he attempted to

correct his father's wrongdoings Damon

eventually launched the Blackfire

Rebellion which divided the Seven

Kingdoms and half of the realm ended up

declaring for him not even a year into

this Rebellion Damon was killed in

battle as he charged the Vanguard

fighting like a warrior he dued Sir

gawin With both men using their Valyrian

steel swords and the duel apparently

lasted nearly an hour Damon eventually

won this duel but unfortunately for him

arrows ran down on him from his half

brother Brendan rivers and also his men

who supported King Dron this marked the

end of the first Blackfire Rebellion but

over the next five generations more came

about and it all started because of this

man Damon Blackfire Dron Targaryen II

popularly known as drron the good was

the 12th Targaryen to sit on the Iron

Throne behind his father aegon before

becoming King he was married to princess

Mariah Martell and some years later he

took on being the ruler of the Seven

Kingdoms unlike his father Dron did many

great things and like I mentioned before

spent a good chunk of his time making

right by his father's wrongdoings he

also treated his father's bastards

honorably and he even gave all of them

money and land Dron began negotiations

with Marin Martell Prince of Dorne to

hopefully unite Dorne in the Seven

Kingdoms after 2 years they reached an

agreement and Marin was married to

darron's Sister princess Daenerys one

year later the prince of Dorne swore an

oath of fely before the iron throne was

more of a scholar than a warrior but his

sons were very skilled at Arms after the

first Blackfire Rebellion drron took

lands castles and hostages from the

Lords who fought for house Blackfire as

punishment with that being said the rest

of daron's Reign was peaceful Bor who is

darron's eldest son became hand of the

king during the later portion of his

Reign unfortunately Bor was accidentally

slain by merar who was darron's youngest

son during a trial of seven one year

later Deon passed away in which his son

arys became the next king and since he

never had a proper Heir his younger

brother merar became the King after him

they on rign for 25 years and most of

them were peaceful good ones aan

Targaryen who later became maester aan

of the knight's watch was the third son

of King merar and the grandson of Dron

as a child aan was a bookish boy and he

and his younger brother Prince aegon

would sometimes pretend that their

dragon eggs would hatch so they could

become Dragon Riders aan gave aegon the

nickname of egg and they had many fond

memories together I would love to

specifically talk about egg in this

video as I know he is a very great

character in this franchise and he also

later becomes king but I do not want to

spoil myself for the upcoming a KN of

the seven Kingdom show anyways around

the age of 10 years old aan was sent by

his father to the Citadel where he

became a maester finishing his studies

at the age of 19 he eventually served as

a Maestra at Dragon Stone under his

eldest brother Prince Dron who

unfortunately passed away sometime later

his father had died and Aon was

considered by some Lords is not worthy

to take on the Iron Throne so they

suggested aan could be released from his

sworn vows to succeed his late father

aan refused and chose to join the

knight's watch out of fear that he might

be used in a plot to usurp his brother

who is now King aod V over the years

Aman claimed to have his vows to the

knights watch tested on numerous

occasions with the last one being the

hardest to overcome when he learned

about the destruction of House Targaryen

during Robert's Rebellion with that

being said he stayed true to his vows

and served the remaining years he had at

the knight's watch loyally King arys

Targaryen the second who is notoriously

known as the Mad King was the 17th and

last member of the Targaryen Dynasty to

sit on the Iron Throne he was the

grandson of Aon V born to King Jaris II

during his youth Aris befriended a young

Tywin Lannister while meeting him at at

court while AIS was a teenager he was

married to his sister Rella and they

later had their first son and Heir who

was known as Prince rhaegar at the age

of 16 Aris was made into a knight

choosing to be dubbed by his friend

Tywin Jaris passed away not long after

in which arys was made the king of

Westeros one of the first things he did

was replacing all the older prominent

officials at court with younger men

including his friend Tywin he eventually

named Tywin his first hand of the king

Aris declared upon his coronation that

he wishes to become the greatest King in

the history of the Seven Kingdoms he was

very ambitious towards the beginning of

his Reign although almost everything he

wanted to accomplish never actually

happened with that being said the Seven

Kingdoms prospered during these years

mostly thanks to Taiwan but many lords

and commoners loved and respected ays

eventually he became spiteful of the

power of others especially that of

Taiwan he grew more and more paranoid

over time and during the Defiance of

duskendale arys was imprisoned and

tormented for 6 months he was eventually

rescued by Sir barriston seli but this

imprisonment drove him even more into

madness Aris later knighted Jamie

Lannister and admitted him to the King's

Guard not out of Honor but instead to

spite Tywin Aris grew brutal and

increasingly fascinated with fire

especially Wildfire he started using it

to burn alleged traitors alive rather

than hanging or beheading them ais's son

rhaegar disappeared with lyanna Stark

where many believed he had kidnapped her

and her father and brother were outraged

Aris instead of hearing them out decided

to burn them alive by using wildfire and

he then ordered John Aaron to send him

the head of lyanna's other brother Ed

Ard who is now the Lord of Winterfell of

course this is where Robert's Rebellion

took place and slowly but surely arys

started losing the war he sent his

sister wife who was newly pregnant with

their daughter Daenerys as well as their

son viseris to Dragon stone for their

own safety as Robert's Army approached

King's Landing Aris demanded jaim to

kill his father Tywin and gave the order

to ignite the wildfire that was beneath

the entire city Aris believed he would

not die in the fire but instead be

transformed into a dragon to prevent the

Wildfire plot from being carried out

jaim killed the Mad King now being known

as the king Slayer Prince rhaegar

Targaryen the firstborn son of the Mad

King was a very smart and beloved

individual he became a knight at the age

of 177 and grew into a skilled and

capable fighter with that being said he

was not very enthusiastic about fighting

many were eagerly waiting for his father

to pass away so rhaegar could become the

next king of Westeros as he was just

that aor as he grew older and his father

became more insane rhaegar could not

bring himself to turn against his own

father he believed the small council

could keep the realm together until his

father passed away but unfortunately

that is not what happened Tywin wanted

to arrange a marriage between his

daughter Cersei and rhaegar but arys did

not allow it and instead rhaegar was to

be wedded to Princess Elia Martell they

had a happy marriage and she birthed a

son named aegon and a daughter named

rise during a tournament at heren Hall

RAR was the champion and placed his

flowers not in his wife's lap but

instead lyanna Starks a year later RAR

and lyanna ran off together where they

both fell in love with one another and

they arranged a secret marriage after

some time passed rhaegar returned to

King's Landing to lead the Crown's Army

he met Robert Baratheon on the

battlefield resulting in an epic duel

that went on for hours and Robert killed

rhaegar with a blow from his Warhammer

caving in rhaegar's breastplate after

this battle the Targaryen Army collapsed

and the rebels were victorious Prince

visarius Targaryen who is sometimes

referred to as the last dragon in the

beggar King is the second oldest son of

the Mad King behind rhaegar and the heir

to the Iron Throne after rhaegar's death

viseris was only a young boy at the time

of Robert's rebellion and his mother

raela sheltered him from ais's Madness

as much as she could after arriving at

Dragonstone they received news of ais's

death and also the death of all of his

children viseris was technically

declared King but that did not matter

now 9 months after fleeing King's

Landing died while giving birth to

Daenerys Stannis baratheon's fleet was

almost at Dragonstone and many of the

Garrison there were ready to turn

visarius and his sister over to them but

some men who were loyal to the

targaryens one of whom was named Sir

William Dar smuggled the children to

braavos ensuring their safety they lived

in braavos with Willam for quite some

time and there was eventually a secret

marriage pack with Prince obber and

Martell agreeing for visarius to take

princess Arian Martell as his bride in

exchange for Dorne to support his claim

to the throne visarius was never made

aware of this pack as will thought he

wasn't at an age yet to hear about it

but he soon fell ill and eventually died

so viseras never found out about this

information he and his sister became

impoverished and wandered the free

cities never staying long at one

location his relationship with Daenerys

was initially warm but he later grew

resentment towards her for the death of

their mother and began treating her

abusively in pintos they met Alo mopus

and he helped arrange a marriage between

Daenerys and C Drogo which viseris had

planned eventually viseris dies due to

his cocky demeanor at the hands of C

Drogo Daenerys Targaryen who is known by

many names one of which is the mother of

dragons was initially very timid and

obedient in her youth after the marriage

to C Drogo she gained a lot of

confidence and that was especially the

case towards the end of her brother's

life who is also her abuser after

viseras is killed Daenerys believes her

family's Throne should be conquered for

her unborn son and tries to persuade

Drogo to invade the Seven Kingdoms Drogo

is eventually injured and is on the

brink of death so Daenerys begs a witch

to use her blood magic to heal him the

witch does this not informing her what

it will do to him and her child and he

comes back basically soulless as well as

her child now being born now formed

which was the price that she had to pay

angered by this Daenerys Burns her alive

with drogo's corpse as well as stepping

into the fire herself and the next

morning Daenerys is unharmed with the

eggs hatched meaning these are the only

dragons now alive in the world since all

of them died off many years ago Daenerys

names Her Dragons viserion after her

brother viseris Regal after her brother

rhaegar and drogon after her late

husband Drogo Daenerys with the help of

others is able to raise an impressive

Army gather ships for her Conquest to

Westeros and she now has three fully

grown dragons in the show she meets Jon

Snow who she falls in love with and

after defeating the night King they set

out to take King's Landing Daenerys for

some reason goes crazy killing thousands

of Innocents with her dragon and then

she becomes Queen Jon Snow then kills

her her Dragon drogon gets pissed off

and burns the Iron Throne then he

carries daenerys's body with his claws

flying off into the distance never to be

seen again wow what a great way to end a

character story JN snow although not

recognized in the books as a Targaryen

at least yet is one in the show and he

was born as igon Targaryen with his

parents being lyanna starkk and rhaegar

which is kind of weird because rhaegar

already had a child with ellia Martell

named Aon but yeah I guess that makes

sense anyways instead of going over

information you already know about JN

from the show I'm going to talk about

some differences that the show had

compared to how he was in the books from

the research I have done as I'm sure

most of you are like me and aren't book

readers in the books Jon is apparently

darker but he's also more intelligent in

many ways that the adaptation just

doesn't showcase he also has way more of

a sense of humor and is quite sassy in

the books he lies and manipulates if he

has to even desires to be the Lord of

Winterfell which is not like him at all

in the show in the books he also takes

child hostages at some point and is just

more ruthless overall he is also a skin

changer like branon is in the show he

also isn't anywhere near as good at

sword fighting in the books as he is in

the show overall John is a lot more

stoic in the TV series whereas in the

books you were able to learn a lot more

about his personal desires he wants

power recognition and he's overall just

more political anyways in the TV series

he is now the last surviving Targaryen

and it is to be assumed that the

Targaryen bloodline dies off with unless

he has a child in the future and maybe

one day we'll find out about this if the

show ever gets a sequel thank you very

much for watching and if you enjoyed
