Ranking of the odd number aegons

As in, Aegons whose epithets were an odd number?

1. Aegon 3, number one mama’s boy. The way he reached for a sword and tried to protect Rhaenyra when they were captured at Dragonstone breaks my heart. Holding hands of the sick when they died. Dancing bears and full bellies will be my policy. His relationship with Gaemon. Wearing black for the rest of his life. I’m sobbing.

2. Aegon 5- I’m going to be completely honest, I’ve avoided reading the Dunk & Egg novellas and have not read them because I like the idea of there being official ASOIAF content I haven’t read yet while we wait forever for Winds. I’m hoarding it away like a squirrel storing nuts for winter and will read it someday. However from what I know he seems like a pretty chill guy. I hear he’s bald? Ok Avatar Aang, I respect it.

3. Aegon the Original- this is the ranking you get when your sisters are objectively cooler by such a wide margin.

Egg… I Dreamed I was Old

#asoiaf #asoiaf fanart #maester aemon #aemon targaryen #Aegon V #aegon v targaryen #dunk and egg #ever since I read Dunk and Egg this has been on my mind #:(

[ofthepyre]

Egg lowered his voice. “Someday the dragons will return. My brother Daeron’s dreamed of it, and King Aerys read it in a prophecy.”

— The Mystery Knight.

“Prince Rhaegar found something in his scrolls that changed him. No one knows what it might have been, only that the boy suddenly appeared early one morning in the yard as the knights were donning their steel. He walked up to Ser Willem Darry, the master-at-arms, and said, ‘I will require sword and armor. It seems I must be a warrior.’”

— Daenerys I, ASOS.

That night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. But she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usurper’s rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be. The other was a nightmare, and I have only now awakened.

— Daenerys III, ASOS.

It’s mentioned here and there—in connection with Prince Rhaegar, for example. I mean, it’s such a sprawling thing now. In the Dunk and Egg stories, there’s one of Egg’s brothers who has these prophetic dreams, which of course he can’t handle. He had become a drunkard because they freaked him out. If you go all the way back to Daenys the Dreamer, why did she leave? She saw the Doom of Valyria coming. All of this is part of it, but I’m still two books away from the ending, so I haven’t fully explained it all yet.

— George R.R. Martin confirming a Targaryen prophecy about the Long Night that motivated Aegon I to conquer Westeros and how it plays out in the books.

Aegon the Unlikely my beloved.

I love Egg so much.

And once again fuck Tywin for ruining perfectly good laws for the smallfolks.

#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #aegon the unlikely #aegon v #dunk and egg #egg #anti tywin lannister #tywin lannister #I'm still baffled that people called Tywin a good politician when he removed laws made for the betterment of the smallfolks ? #Explain to me like I'm 3 years old because I do not understand it

[starryrosebud]

Targaryens in canon, protecting the smallfolk and giving them rights. Poor Aegon V, he was even called “tyrant” by the nobles, because he tried to give more rights to the poor😓

Dany is following her ancestors! The Aegon’s and Aly are so proud of you sweetie 🥰

I finally read the Tales of Dunk and Egg stories. Here is my basic summary of all three tales.

Dunk and Egg come across some sort of problem

Egg wants to pull the prince card, but Dunk says it’s a bad idea and he shouldn’t.

Dunk gets the shit beat out of him while somehow also solving the problem.

Egg at some point pulls the prince card and it does help.

Someone flirts with Dunk and it doesn’t end well.

Dunk, through all of this, threatens to clout Egg’s ear.

#Aegon v #dunk and egg #asoiaf #also bloodraven showed up and he is endlessly fascinating to me #He’s albino he’s got magic he is the fucking worst what more could you want #I do subscribe to the theory that he helped Egg on the throne now cause he seems weirdly fond of him #Duncan the tall #a knight of the seven kingdoms #Also Dunk as a smallfolk protagonist in a series where the pov characters are mostly highborn is appreciated

Queen Betha Blackwood Aesthetic by: me.

Betha was a beautiful noblewoman from House Blackwood who marrieid King Aegon V and become Queen of The Seven Kingdoms.

self indulgent info dump about the hedge knight

I did this in a couple of hours and used the Hedge Knight as my only source for everything. If you see any mistakes please kindly correct me! This is mainly for me because I can't stop thinking about the Hedge Knight and want to do a project related to it, so here's everything I think I would need for it.

(contents: a [long] summary of the hedge knight, every named character, all of the tourney matches, the trial by 7 teams and deaths)

SUMMARY:

Ser Arlan of Pennytree, a hedge knight (or wandering knight), dies of a chill. His squire, Dunk is the only one who can bury him, and Dunk buries him facing the sunset, as he reflects on Ser Arlan's life. Dunk mourns the old man, yet continues taking their horses Thunder, Chestnut, and Sweetfoot, as well as Ser Arlan's sword and remaining money. He stops by an inn where he is near attacked by a drunk man, and where a bald boy called Egg demands to be his squire, but Dunk refuses because he did not want to ruin the boy's life. Dunk goes to the grand tourney at Ashford, hoping to earn some money, and Egg follows him. Dunk takes Egg as his squire, because of Egg's willpower.

At Ashford Dunk sells his horse, Sweetfoot, so that he can afford armor. He meets the cousins Ser Steffon Fossoway and his squire, Raymun Fossoway. However, he is not able to enter the lists for the tourney since no one can prove his knighthood; that is until the Hand of the King and heir to the throne Baelor Breakspear, vouches for him, after recalling how Ser Arlan broke 4 lances against him. However Prince Baelor's brother, Prince Maekar is dismissive of Dunk and is worried for his two missing sons, Prince Daeron and Prince Aegon. Dunk enters but only for the 3rd day, so he will have a better chance at winning.

On the 1st day, many jousts happen. The final joust is when Prince Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen, grandson of King Daeron, nephew of Prince Baelor, and son of Prince Maekar uses his lance to kill Ser Humfrey Hardyng's horse. It's dishonorable and Humfrey breaks his leg in the fall. Ser Humfrey is declared the champion. That night, Prince Aerion attacks the puppeteer (Tanselle "Too-Tall) that Dunk has a crush on, because her show involved a dragon (the crest of House Targaryen) getting killed. Egg calls Dunk, and Dunk beats up Prince Aerion. When Dunk gets seized by the guards, Egg reveals himself to be Prince Aerion's younger brother, Prince Aegon Targaryen.

Aerion wants to behead Dunk, and Maekar finds his son, Prince Daeron who was supposed to accompany Egg, and Prince Daeron says that a robber knight took him so his father would not be disappointed in him. Daeron withdraws his accusation and tells Dunk that he dreamed of Dunk with a dead dragon, and that Daeron's dreams come true. Dunk demands a trail by combat and Aerion demands a trail by seven. (Teams listed on the bottom of this post.)

Baelor Breakspear fought against the Kingsguard, since the Kingsguard are bound by their vows to never harm a member of the Royal Family. Aerion fought against Dunk, since Aerion was Dunk's main accuser. Daeron was unhorsed by Ser Robyn. Prince Baelor drove down one of the Kingsguard, and it is implied he also did so to another Kingsguard and his brother, Prince Maekar. Aerion unhorsed Dunk, however Dunk was able to beat Aerion using tactics he learned from Flea Bottom. Aerion withdrew his accusation.

Afterwards, Dunk is heavily injured and the two Humfreys are dead. After Prince Baelor's helmet was removed, his brains fell out and he died. When Dunk is healed he attends the funeral, and the new heir to the throne, Prince Valarr, Baelor's eldest son asks Dunk why his father died for a hedge knight. Prince Maekar revealed to Dunk he accidentally killed his brother, even though he loved his brother and expressed his sadness and regret. Maekar told Dunk he sent Aerion to Lys, and he offered Dunk a position in his household, but Dunk declined. Instead, Dunk asks to take Prince Aegon as his squire, and continue to live as a poor hedge knight, as long as he continued to use the nickname "Egg."

living in a world where one family holds the only WMDs until said family loses those weapons (dragons) and has to come to the realization that they have no real power without dragons to force it.

#was thinking about this yesterday and summerhall. like summerhall was just aegon having the realization that he cannot make change / #within the flawed system and in order for him to force in those changes he wants and keep targaryen hegemony he needs dragons to do it #if there’s such a thing as a liberal totalitarian i think that may be egg. he says i will ignore the social contract and force wage equalit #aegon v targaryen #asoiaf #guava.txt #house targaryen #aegon v

[alannybunnue]

Aegon V logically knows his wife's eldest daughter is his half-sister but he doesn't like being reminded of this fact and often refers to her as his own blood daughter

Queen!Reader doesn't particularly mind because it helps with her influence over the king

The court knowing her father was Maekar and seeing Egg is being weirdly obsessive with his wife the Queen (who is his former step-mother) and his half-sister (who he convinced to call him father)

The Queen just minding that she gets to rule again while her daughter is confused why everyone is looking at her whenever she calls for her father(Aegon V)

She will never know that he is actually her half brother who was obsessed over her mama...

What could Egg have done to better institutionalize his pro-smallfolk reforms? As in, what measures could he have taken to prevent at least some of them from being roled back by his sucessors (and Tywin)?

Well, it's kind of hard to speak to that with any degree of specificity when we don't know what his "reforms and .. rights and protections" included:

what kind of reforms were they (legal, land tenure, something else?)

what kinds of rights did they include (medieval law has a lot of different kinds of rights, for example),

what kind of protections are we talking about (protection from feudal incidents, or from corvée labor, or from the lord's monopolies)?

Because there might well be different legal or political strategies involved in each case. In some cases a royal proclamation would work, in other cases perhaps an inclusion in an update of the legal code would be a better strategy, in yet another case a charter with no defined experation might be the way to go, etc.

As to your second question, I think the biggest thing he could have done was to do a better job raising his kids, because as his many woes involving their marriage choices and abdication crises demonstrates, he didn't do a very good job either getting them to obey him or share his political project.

While I've written before about the advantage of (hereditary) monarchy in that political succession is relatively stable and predictable, one of the real downsides of (hereditary) monarchy is that, because so much of public policy is dependent on the will of the monarch, you can get very sharp reversals of policy when the son disagrees with the father, and those reversals last more than just a fixed term - they last a tifetime or more.
