Thirty Five years ago.
The Old king Jaehaerys had grown old with age. Those around him poisoned by the hunger and lust for his passing. For the seat he rested upon each day was utterly worth more than his head. It's a surprise how every monarch isn't killed before their natural end. A throne is a great power to be held.
Alas, the Old King had few potential successors in mind. As all of his children were either dead or occupied, leaving the succession of his throne in high doubts. Other routes were to be taken by his Royal Decree. His grandson, Viserys who was a peaceful man, a man who wished no more than to settle with his wife Aemma far from the politics of the realm.
Princess Rhaenys Targaryen was another option, Visery's cousin and everyone at court knew how she wanted nothing more than to take his seat in the great hall. And Lord Corlys Velaryon, master of the tides and Lord of Driftmark. The only remaining Valyrian house after the doom, other than the one atop the Iron Throne.
The King appointed Viserys Targaryen to take his place as protector of the Realm. For Rhaenys, a woman, would not be gifted with control of the Seven Kingdoms.
Viserys and his Wife Aemma welcomed a daughter shortly after he was appointed King. The Princess Rhaenyra, born kicking and roaring as a healthy babe. Named the Realm's Delight by those around her. As Rhaenyra grew to the age of seven, when gladly her mount Syrax hatched before the hearth of a fire.
The Queen Aemma was determined to give her husband a Male heir. Not as desperate as Viserys however. After many failed births and miscarriages sixteen years post their ascension to the Throne, Aemma decided this would be their last child. Girl or Boy, her body could not take anymore loss.
The birth did not go to plan, the Queen could not deliver the babe naturally. And so Viserys made the choice to save his son or lose them both. The babe survived for few hours as a sickly child. His name, was Baelon.
That day the Princess Rhaenyra lost both a Mother and Brother, and the easy love for her Father. Yet she gained a place as first in line to the seat that seemed to harm all those who sat upon it.
Shortly after, the King re-married to a young girl who was the daughter of his Hand. Otto Hightower.
The new Queen Alicent Hightower gave him two children.
Aegon, was their first child, and Viserys' first son. He would succeed the Throne after Rhaenyra and her sons, if she were to have any.
