Aegon VI Targaryen

Aegon VI Targaryen was King of Westeros and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms from the year 302 AC until his death in 325. He ruled jointly alongside Daenerys Targaryen, and was the rider of the green dragon Rhaegal.

Early Life
The only son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell. Little and less is known of the early days of Aegon's childhood before Robert's Rebellion, but as the later days of the rebellion waned and Aegon's father Rhaegar perished on the trident, it was decided that Aegon would be spirited away. This was done in secret of course and when the Lannister Army sacked King's Landing it wasn't young Aegon who was killed by Ser Gregor Clegane but the poor bastard son of a whore who worked on the street of silk and gladly gave up her child for it's weight in gold.

The young prince Aegon was spirited away to Essos, where he was placed in the care of Illyrio Mopatas (close friend to Varys) for a time before the care of the prince was given over to Lord Jon Connington who would continue his education. During his education Aegon learned to read and write, speak several different languages, a septa was brought in to teach him the mysteries of the faith, and he was trained in combat as befits a knight and a future king. Among these things, Aegon also learned what it means to struggle, some nights going hungry while posing as a boy named 'Young Griff'. In this time Aegon learned that ruling was not only his birthright but it was also his responsibility for all the people of the realm.

In 299AC, whilst the Seven Kingdoms burned in the War of the Five Kings, Aegon at last saw his opportunity to reclaim what had been lost. With the Golden Company at his back, and the Targaryen ancestral Valyrian Steel sword Blackfyre in hand (given to him by Illyrio and Varys), Aegon once more crossed the Narrow Sea; this time a man, and not in disguise - he came as a Conqueror, and a King.

The Second War of Conquest
Aegon spent most of the Second War of Conquest fighting in the Stormlands, Crownlands, and Riverlands, working to undo the work of the Lannisters and secure those regions for his house. Following the siege of King's Landing, and the death of King Tommen and Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, Aegon learned that his aunt Daenerys had landed at Dragonstone with 10,000 Unsullied, 40,000 Dothraki and 3 Dragons. In response the newly crowned king sent a raven to his aunt requesting her presence at King's Landing. When she arrived the two were said to have been in the King's Solar for almost a week, when they finally came out the two announced that they would marry and rule in a Dual Monarchy. Soon after their coronation Aegon would tame the green dragon Rhaegal and he and his new queen would spend the next 2 years driving back the white walkers in the north and driving House Frey from the riverlands.

The Reign of King Aegon VI and Queen Daenerys I
After war, came rule. Aegon spent much of the early days of his reign traveling Westeros, alongside his wife. Together they worked to cement their new-forged realm, and restore the relations between crown and bannermen that had so thoroughly broken down.

Seeking to reward his allies, and those who fought alongside him during the War and raised him whilst he was in exile, Aegon commissioned the Golden Company as a standing order for the Iron Throne. He expanded the Small Council, granting seats to the Captain-General of the Golden Company as well as one to a representative from Dorne. As well as their new seat on King Aegon's Small Council, the new king commissioned three castles for the Golden Company; one near King's Landing, one in Massey's Hook, and one in Crackclaw Point.

In addition to this, Aegon granted House Connington their ancient lands and restored to them the title of lord, as well as passing on the Valyrian steel sword Widow's Wail. These gifts have made the house one of the foremost in the Stormlands, and stalwart supporters of House Targaryen and of Aegon's line. After the wars, Lord Jon Connington was named Aegon's Hand of the King, working closely alongside Tyrion Lannister (head advisor to Queen Daenerys).

Indeed, across Westeros, the king and queen worked to restore that which had been lost; first with the return of the dragons, but then with gifts and grants. The Lannisters retained Casterly Rock, as Tyrion Lannister was appointed Lord of Casterly Rock. House Baratheon continued, descended from Gendry Waters - made Gendry Baratheon by Queen Daenerys. House Stark retained their Paramountcy of the North, headed off by Jon Snow - made Jon Stark.

After all was settled between the Lords of Westeros and the Crown, the King and Queen set to the rebuilding and naming of King Aegon's Kingsguard. His First Seven are as follows

Shortly after the Kingsguard Knights were sworn in it was revealed that Queen Daenerys was with child and in 303 gave birth to a boy that they would name Rhaegar (after King Aegon's father). Over the years until his death in 325 AC, the queen would give King Aegon two more children, Prince Baelon and Princess Rhaella.
 * Lord Commander Ser Jorah Mormont
 * Ser Lyn Corbray
 * Ser Brienne of Tarth
 * Ser Podrick Payne
 * Ser Loras Tyrell
 * Ser Elwood Peake
 * Ser Desmond Bracken

In the end, the days that followed the Second Conquest were largely peaceful, save for the Year of False Banners, and Aegon ruled ably for the duration of his reign.

Death
Aegon died relatively young, at the age of forty-four due to a sudden fever. After his death, his wife Daenerys abdicated the throne to allow their son, Rhaegar, to rule. Largely regarded as a King of great ability and skill, Aegon's reconquest of the Seven Kingdoms and decisive ending of the War of the Five Kings helped to earn him a place among the greatest figures in Westerosi history, and saw the return of House Targaryen to their rightful place on the Iron Throne
