The Idiotic Reign of Aegon the Unworthy

He has stiff competition, but Aegon IV may be the most unworthy king in Targaryen history. From potentially committing regicide and patricide to take the Iron Throne, to taking advantage of his sister Naerys and brother Aemon the Dragonknight, to creating the everlasting problem of Daemon Blackfyre & the Blackfyre Rebellions, Aegon the Unworthy was truly terrible. Reigning decades after House of the Dragon, his cruelty was different than the violence of Maegor the Cruel or the wildfire-crazed Aerys the Mad King. Of all the kings throughout ASOIAF, where does the fourth Aegon Targaryen rank all time?

Aegon IV is such an anomaly given that his dad, brother, son, and eldest grandson are all some of the best Targaryens to ever live. I wonder if that contributed to his general terrible-ness, knowing that he couldn't measure up. Hopefully Young Griff breaks the even-numbered Aegons curse.

@nightman1790 29 дней назад

I think that the relationship between Aegon IV, Aemon the Dragonknight and Queen Naerys is supposed to be the reverse mirror image of Robert, Jamie and Cersei. Aegon IV is basically Robers worst traits multiplied by 100, Aemon is everything Jamie wanted to be and Naerys is everything Cersei isn’t. I believe that this reverse mirror scenario is connected to what Old Maester Aemond said to Jon about the choice between love and duty. As we all know Cersei and Jamie chose love over duty which resulted in King Joffrey one of the worst kings in history who's actions tore the Seven Kingdoms apart, but in the opposite side Naerys and Aemon the Dragonknight chose duty over love. They stayed true to their duty despite their feelings for each other which resulted in King Daeron one of the best kings in the Targaryen Dynasty whose actions finally united the Seven Kingdoms under one banner.

IMO, Aegon IV is the worst Targaryen king, even worse than Aerys II. Aerys WANTED to be a good king, he was merely incompetent at it. He was at least smart enough to hire one of the best Hands ever to help him out, only to get jealous, and then go insane. From the very moment he was born, Aegon seemed to want to actively ruin anything and everything around him purely out of a mix of spite and hedonism.

I don't buy at all the theory that Brynden loved his brother Daemon. Him being so loyal to the trueborn Targaryen and so adamantly against the Blackfyres contradicts it

@turtleguyfan 29 дней назад

it definitely adds a layer of tragedy to the Rebellions of Daemon is the brother he loved. And it wouldn’t be far fetched to say that because of Daemon attempting to usurp the throne from Daeron it caused him to be so unrelenting against any Blackfyre since. Imagine being betrayed by the brother you loved and cared about because your other the half brother you hated was whispering poison in his ear?

@sleepyguy236 25 дней назад

@@turtleguyfan I mean, it kinda adds nothing to his character no?? he is, in fact, the counterpart of bittersteel. Both are bastards that support their brothers and did not crown themselves(for various reasons) and brynden is a person who told daeron that daemon i is about to rebel in a month which leads to daeron sending his KG to arrest daemon i, not to mention, he literally do a tactical strategy to kill him by shot his son first too and advice daeron(and his descendants) to do harsh punishments against pretenders. and let’s not forget the famously word he once said in the mystery knight “You would be surprised to know how many lords prefer their kings brave and stupid. Daemon is young and dashing and looks good on a horse.” even though he referred to daemon ii, it also applies to daemon i too. From all of these, not so sure this was an act that he should do to his “loving brother” tbh

@turtleguyfan 11 дней назад

@@nicokrasnow1851 just cause he was on good terms with bittersteel doesn’t mean Brynden would hate daemon inherently. It could be a case of “hey you shouldn’t listen to him, he’s nothing but trouble and you can’t trust him.” This is all speculation anyways. The brother Brynden loved doesn’t exclusively have to be Daemon, he could love Daeron alongside but just mean Daemon in this case and regret how it all played out.

@inquisitorgarza312 29 дней назад

Usually the Targaryen Kings always had problems when it came to choosing their successors and thus they created a lot of wars or conflicts that plague Westeros for many years to come, but the Aegon the Unworthy spits in the face of both his Father and Uncle trauma of the Dance of the Dragons when he purposefully name all of his bastard children as legalized Targaryen, and he probably thought that both his sons Daeron and Daemon will be in each other throats for the kingship of the Iron Throne.

Honestly I think Aegon may have been telling the truth the entire time about Daeron. Nobody believed him because nobody liked him and everyone liked Daeron. Remember histroy doesnt remember BLOOD it remembers NAMES. Because Daeron was given the name Targaryen despite possibly being a bastard and having literally NO WAY of proving one way or the other means its hard to remove the name Targaryen from him. Meanwhile Daemon chooses to Name himself Blackfyre which ends up creating a Narrative that the Blackfyres are these "Others" and aren't equal to Targaryens despite both Daeron (bastard or not) and Daemon having Targaryens as both their Mother and Father. They both are 100% Targaryen and it would be totally GRRM if the Seven Kingdoms this entire time hated and had Bias against bastards mostly becauze of the Blackfyres only for the readers to find out that Daeron and Daemon were BOTH bastards with Daemon being the actual heir

The only positive thing I can say isn't really a positive thing either, it's just that even he didn't cross the one line to actively try and kill a million innocent people when he realized that it was over for him.

@@thatoneblackdude3333 I agree the dance is worse than at least any one of the blackfire rebellions (one could quibble about whether they all taken together weren´t worse for the realm, but honestly I don´t have strong feelings on that debate so whatever), but a season of buildup would in my opinion really not be well received (I could be wrong, but I doubt it). HOTD season 1 worked in part because Viserys I, whatever one thinks of his ruling abilities, was at least a good guy who one could easily sympathise with, and so watching him dealing with all the personal and political drama in the builup to the dance was interesting. With Aegon IV it would be scene after scene of him being THE WORST, not getting any comeuppance, not caring about the realm as he sets the stage for the crisis, and waaay too much `this is the poor woman the king is going to traumatise this episode`. I´m not saying a show focused on the Blackfire rebellions won´t be good, I`m saying a multi-episode show/season on the reign of Aegon IV will be hated. A show/season about Aegon I? absolutely. Daeron II? sure. Jaeharys I? probably. Aegon V? maybe. Aerys II? doubtful. Aegon IV..... just.... no.

@@addickland5656 I disagree remember the show wouldn't just be about aegon 4 being a shit head id also be about his family members and build up to the blackfaire rebellion besides we had multiple seasons of Joffrey being the worst and it was peak cinema and aegon 4 does get his due since he died in a awful way and his desire to fuck over everyone fails since daemon nor his descendants take the throne, hotd didn't just work because visarys 1 was a good character it worked because the show in general was well written the leading king doesn't need to be a good person for the story to be entertaining again just look at Joffrey he was around for nearly half the series and it is considered the best got had to offer.

While I agree that focusing on Aegon being his Unworthy self would get unwatchable and quite boring really fast, it'd make for a nice prologue for the Blackfyre Rebellions... If done right, there is plenty of bloody battles, complicated romances and weird magic as source material for a tv show

Yeah Aemmon was definitely Daeron IIs dad. No way this flesh lump they called a king was.

I find it interesting that, leaving aside the madness bonus, most bad Targaryen kings were either various levels of stupid/incompetent (like Aerys II) or complete narcissistic (even sociopathic with sadistic tendencies) a-holes. This guy...managed to be both. So I'd say he comes pretty close to being the worst Targaryen king. Maegor and Aerys surpass him just because they also went cuckoo for coco-puffs eventually.
