Aegon's death and Maegor's Tyranny (Draft)

But with time Aegon started getting more and more weak and health was affected.So with his death the throne was passed to Aenys,who while foolish was still able to be guided by Rhaenys and Visenya.

By that time Aenys had married Lady Alyssa Velaryon had a daughter Rhaena.Then a boy named Aegon.

But Maegor had married Ceryse Hightower for a while they still had no children.

Maegor then suddenly announced that Ceryse was barren and that he had taken another wife, Lady Alys Harroway. Unable to convince the septon at Dragonstone to perform the wedding, Maegor and Alys had been wed in a Valyrian wedding ceremony led by Dowager Queen Visenya Targaryen. This marriage angered many. Maegor quarreled bitterly with his brother, King Aenys, while Ceryse's brother, Lord Martyn Hightower, demanded that Maegor set Alys aside. The High Septon denounced the marriage as sin and fornication and called Alys "this whore of Harroway." Many of the pious lords in the realm began to follow his example, openly referring to Alys as "Maegor's Whore". Maegor remained defiant, however, citing that his father had taken two wives as well, claiming that the strictures of the Faith did not rule the blood of the dragon.

Feeling he had no other option, Aenys furiously gave Maegor a choice: set Alys aside or go into exile for five years. Maegor chose the latter option and left for Pentos with Alys and Balerion. He also took the sword Blackfyre with him, refusing Aenys's request to leave the sword behind.Septon Murmison replaced Maegor as Hand.While Aenys named his eldest son, Prince Aegon, Prince of Dragonstone

But this wasn't the end King Aenys announced to the whole kingdom that his son was going to wed his daughter.This didn't go well with the Faith,who was given the word by Aegon that the incestuous marriage of the Targeryen's would stop with him.

While the Rhaenys and Visenya were not happy with announcement was planning to talk to the Faith about this being a mistake.

Eragon was visited by Visenya and Rhaenys,both looked really tired as Eragon asked "I heard Aenys announcement about marriage of Aegon and Rhaena.If remember correctly Aegon wanted this tradition to die down with him."

Visenya nodded and replied "He announced without consulting anyone and our grandchildren just followed his lead."

Eragon nodded and asked"Are you going to talk to Faith about this?"

Rhaenys replied "We are planning too."

But the Faith millitant launched an attack.While they fought back and Aenys was more of charmer than warrior was scared to death.

But with North coming to help Faith militant was pushed back,but during this time Aenys's died of a heart attack because weak and sickly body gave out from the pressure.

Maegor who heard about this announced he was now the new King of Westeros.This was considered unsurping Aegon,who was Aenys's son.But end of the day Aegon was too young and naive to contest for the Throne.

North heard this now wanted nothing to do with this war for the crown,while they helped with fighting the Faith Millitant.

Maegor,who still warred with the Faith until he completely burned Sept of remembrance.

Rhaenys and Visenya controlled much of Maegor's bloodthirsty impulses.But sometimes it couldn't be held and they learnt to keep him occupied by building Red Keep.

Eragon really wanted to intervene.But Galadriel had told him not too as this was fixed event.Which mean even if stopped Maegor or even killed him,someone else would just replace him to the tyrant from the Original timeline chances are either Prince Viserys Targaryen,who was the second son of King Aenys I Targaryen and Queen Alyssa Velaryon.Since Prince Aegon died in attack by a rouge Faith Militant.

They even talked and made Maegor bring Aenys's widow, Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon, and her youngest two children, Jaehaerys and Alysanne, his mother's wards on Dragonstone, while summoning her son Viserys to court, making him his personal squire. Still without an heir of his own body, Maegor visited one of his five wives every night.But nothing worked or his thing didn't work.
