Or so the conventional wisdom would teach us. Yet under Daeron the Good, Westeros faced the largest civil war of its time.

King Baelor I arranged for his cousin Daeron to marry Princess Myriah Martell of Dorne as part of the peace arranged between the two kingdoms following Daeron I 's invasion, and Baelor the Blessed officiated at the wedding ceremony.

Aegon IV was a decadent and dissolute ruler, and Daeron seems to have mostly avoided his father, preferring to spend time learning from maesters and septons , being schooled on other cultures or engaged in artistic pursuits, all of which his father considered womanly and weak. Aegon instead doted on his eldest bastard son, Daemon. Daeron does not appear to have been keen on dwelling on Dragonstone as the king's heir traditionally did, and instead was permitted to found a new castle at Summerhall , where he and his family often dwelt. Late in Aegon IV's reign, it was whispered that Aegon IV had come to believe that Daeron was not his son, but the product of an illegitiate union between Naerys and their other brother, Aemon , and was planning to disinherit Daeron in favour of Daemon. In the event this did not happen, as Aegon fell ill and died suddenly, although he did legitimise four of his bastards on his deathbed.

Daeron is the fourthborn child and third son of King Viserys by his second wife, Queen Alicent. He is the younger half-brother of Rhaenyra Targaryen through his father's first wife, the late Queen Aemma Arryn and the younger full brother of Prince Aegon , Princess Helaena , and Prince Aemond Targaryen through his mother.

House Targaryen. House of the Dragon. Daeron, however, could not protest the move, as he was no warrior himself, nor was the sword legally obliged to him. If we use you definition, Fireball was no crony, he was clearly qualified in his position. An infantry force would engage an enemy in straight battle, with the goal being to pin the enemy in place.

Also, Dorne had committed a grievous war crime by murdering Daeron I under a peace flag, along with three Kingsguard members one of whom was an Oakheart. However, the problem here is that it seems like the Blackfyres supporters objected to any sort of Dornish participation in court period; notably, Eustace Osgrey goes so far as to blame Daeron for having a Dornish wife, a marriage pact he had no control over, indicating the extent of Blackfyre irrationality regarding this issue. Going back to Aegon I, the court appointment system is built as a careful political balancing act. In the aftermath, King Daeron showed a sternness few expected. Striking a blood royal forfeits the limb responsible. The only explanation that I can think of is that Daeron II either abolished it or severely discouraged the practice to the extent that none of his descendants filled the position. October 20, at am. However, rebelling over this is clearly an overreaction.
