HIS HISTORY” {(Daeron Targaryen was born in 114 AC, the youngest son of King Viserys I Targaryen and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. He had two older brothers, Aegon and Aemond, and an older sister, Helaena, as well as an older half-sister, Rhaenyra. Daeron was born shortly after Rhaenyra's eldest son, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon. However, Rhaenyra did not get along with Daeron's mother, Alicent. Trying to avoid a similar enmity between his younger son and eldest grandson, Viserys had the two sons share a wet nurse until they were weaned, hoping that them being wet brothers would make up for the difference. The king's hope was in vain, for like his older brothers, Daeron grew to be a bitter rival of Jacaerys and his younger brothers, Lucerys and Joffrey. While Daeron and his older brothers were forced to spend time with their cousins (i.e. attending the same feasts and occasionally training at arms or studying with a maester together), it is said that this only increased their enmity. By the age of six, Daeron had a dragon of his own, Tessarion, though he had not yet ridden him. When Daeron was twelve in 126 AC, he was sent to serve as cupbearer and squire to Lord Ormund Hightower, his mother Alicent's cousin, in Oldtown. After the death of Daeron's father, King Viserys I Targaryen, the Dance of the Dragons began when Daeron's eldest brother claimed the Iron Throne as Aegon II Targaryen, despite the fact that his half-sister, Rhaenyra Targaryen, had been Viserys's heir-declared. Daeron was still in Oldtown, squired by Lord Ormund Hightower. The prince accompanied Lord Ormund Hightower's army as it marched from Oldtown. During the Battle of the Honeywine, Ormund faced defeat until Daeron arrived at Tessarion, saving his cousin and his army. For this act, Daeron was feted by Ormund, who knighted him with the Valyrian sword Vigilance, dubbing the young prince "Daeron the Bold". After King Aegon II was wounded in the battle at Rook's Rest, Prince Aemond Targaryen assumed command. Aemond saw his uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenyra's husband, as the greatest threat to his rule, and was determined to defeat him in battle. Wanting sole glory for defeating Daemon and considering Daeron too young, Aemond did not ask Daeron for aid when preparing to retake Harrenhal from Daemon. After the fall of King's Landing to Rhaenyra, Daeron was considered the greatest threat to his rule. He remained with Lord Ormund's army and scouted them on his dragon. The Shield Islands, House Oakheart, and House Rowan submitted to the greens to avoid facing Daeron's Tessarion. As his nephew, Prince Maelor Targaryen, had died at Bitter Bridge, Daeron refused to show mercy to Lady Caswell. Daeron had Tessarion burn the city during the Sack of Bitterbridge. Ulf White and Hugh Hammer were sent to Tumbleton to defend the city against Daeron, but the Two Traitors defected to the greens during the First Battle of Tumbleton. As Ormund had died during the battle, command of the green army was disputed by several nobles. Daeron ordered Ser Hobert Hightower to stop the unspeakable sack of Tumbleton, but Hobert was ineffective. Although Daeron appointed Ulf Lord of Bitterbridge, the Two Traitors refused to join Daeron in an attack on King's Landing if his demands were not met. With Aegon II missing after the fall of King's Landing and with Aemond killed in the Battle Above the Gods Eye, Prince Daeron became first in line to the throne. Lord Unwin Peake, one of the leaders at Tumbleton, insisted that Daeron should be proclaimed Prince of Dragonstone immediately. Others, who believed Aegon II to be dead, wished for Daeron to be crowned king. When Hugh declared that he should become king, Daeron threw wine in his face. Hugh was then seen wearing an iron crown. Offended by the Traitors' arrogance, the lords and knights of the Reach, later known as the Caltrops, began plotting their deaths. Although Daeron was not a member of the Caltrops, the men did not wish to proceed without his consent, which the prince quickly gave. Two days later, the Second Battle of Tumbleton began. Prince Daeron died during the battle, although exactly how he died is unknown.)}
