Westeros grows restless under his rule, and when he marries his son to his daughter, as Targaryens customarily do, the Faith, which condones such marriages, rises up against him in a series of holy wars. Aenys is kind and gentle, but he does not have the strength to rule. After losing his sister, he agrees to leave Dornish power in place and signs a peace treaty.Īfter Aegon, his son Aenys becomes king.
He conquers six of them, but the Dornish prove impossible to bend. About 100 years later, Aegon Targaryen decides to conquer the seven kingdoms and become king of Westeros. The Targaryens are a minor house, but when Daeny the Dreamer has a prophetic dream about the Doom, Aenar moves his family from their ancestral Valyria to Dragonstone, an island off the coast of Westeros. Before this system of time is even in place, the Targaryens are one of 40 powerful families in Valyria that ride and raise dragons. The history begins with the narrator, Archmaester Gyldayn of the Citadel at Old Town, informing his students of how time is measured by Aegon’s conquest.
