Maegor Targaryen (son of Aerion)

Maegor Targaryen was the son of Aerion Targaryen the second male son of the King Maekar I Targaryen and his spouse, Dyanna Dayne. His mother was Daenora Targaryen, daugther of Rhaegel Targaryen (the mad, older brother of king Maekar I Targaryen) and his wife Alys Arryn.

Maegor was passed over in the succession due to his father's madness (he had swallowed Valyrian Fire the day of his birthday, killing himself in the process) and due to his maternal granfathers madness (Rhaegel). People believed he would become mad as well and in order to prevent that, the rulership was given to his uncle Aegon.

Maegor was wed to Vaella Targaryen, his cousin, who was also passed over by the succession. She was the daughter of Daeron Targaryen, the eldest son of Maekar I, and older brother of Aerion. Vaella's mother was Kiara of Tyrosh.

He was passed over by the succesion in the believe that he could become mad, but in adulthood he did not. This made Maegor think he was unrightfully passed over in the succession and that the crown should be his. His claims were stronger as he wed Vaella Targaryen who had also a strong claim to the throne. However, due to the lack of support and his good relations with his uncle and his cousins he did not intend to rebel against the king, even though he considered himself to be the rightful king for all his life. Due to this, he end up founding House Targaryen-Whitefyre, an cadet branch of the Targaryens.
