King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Wise, the Old King
34 AC - 103 AC
The fourth child and third son ofKing Aenys IandQueen Alyssa Velaryon. Husband to his younger sister, Queen Alysanne, and together they had a total of thirteen children. He was a dragonrider to Vermithor. He became king at the age of 14 since his older brothers (AegonandViserys) were killed during his Uncle Maegor’s reign. He outlived his children and also his sister-wife. He was the longest reigning Targaryen monarch, and it was a prosperous period in Westeros. He was succeeded by his grandson, Viserys I.
“…Yet for all the splendor of the bride and groom, it was the arrival of Alyssa’s children that set King’s Landing to talking for years to come. King Jaehaerys and Princess Alysanne were the last to appear, descending from a bright sky on their dragons, Vermithor and Silverwing (the Dragonpit still lacked the great dome that would be its crowning glory, it must be recalled), their great leathern wings stirring up clouds of sand as they came down side by side, to the awe and terror of the gathered multitudes. (The oft-told tale that the arrival of the dragons caused the aged High Septon to soil his robes is likely only a calumny.)”
