Aenys Targaryen

Prince Aenys Targaryen was the eldest child of King Aenar I Targaryen and his sister-wife, Queen Helaena. Born in 340 A.C., Prince Aenys’ birth was widely celebrated across the Southron kingdoms. After his father ascended to the Iron Throne, Aenys was named as the heir apparent and Prince of Dragonstone. Throughout his life Aenys was well regarded by the small folk, and celebrated for his feats at Tournaments, most particularly his working of a blade.

The Prince’s life is well documented, and was defined by his marriage to Lenore Blackwood. Together they had but a single son named Maegor. The last years of his life were tragically wracked by scandal that led to the annulment of his marriage, bastardization of his son, and execution of his beloved wife. Unable to bear such travesty, he claimed his own life at Dragonstone in 368 A.C.

Prince Aenys was a dragonrider, riding Rhaegal, the first to do so after the death of his grandfather, Aegon VI Targaryen.
