Appearance and Character
Much like his father, Jaehaerys loved to participate on tourneys. Some says he was much better than his father.

Jaehaerys spend a lot of time with his dragon Nightfyre and his sister, Daenerys. He was very friendly and made many friends with a little effort. The people enjoyed the company of Jaehaerys and everyone knew that when his time comes, he won't let them down. His charismatic disposition and kindness made him very similar to his ancient predecessor, Jaehaerys I.

History
As a child, he was very strong, healthy and rarely sick boy. His father spend a lot of time with him to teach the way of ruling. In 463AC he ascended the Iron Throne at age 12. The regent's rule was not necessary, so at age of 12 he started his reign over the Seven Kingdoms.

In 465AC he took Princess Daenerys as his wife, securing the Targaryen bloodline. That year the firstborn child of King Jaehaerys III was born, and he was named Aegon. One year later Prince Maelor was born and two years later Prince Aemon was born. The spread trough Westeros as the new heirs were born.

Jaehaerys III Targaryen named his aunt (and secret lover) Elaena Targaryen his Hand, making her the first female Hand of the King. But it was a short time, because Elaena passed away after 2 years in service. Jaehaerys then named Lord Rodrick Tarly his new Hand. Lord Rodrick served well and he became one of the most loyal and supporting friend of King Jaehaerys III.

In 470 he fought in the war of the "Three Brothers", which took place in the Riverlands for Riverrun between Garol Tully, Jason Tully ,and Devon Tully. The King fought beside Lord Garol who was the rightful heir of Riverrun. Lord Tully's younger brothers claimed that they are the rightful Lords of Riverrun. The rebellion was brief, for only Nightfyre's appearance was enough for the usurpers to lay down their swords.

In 475AC a great summer sickness scourged across the land,leaving thousands dead in its wake. The King not only lost his mother, but his two eldest sons Aegon and Maelor in 480AC,along with Queen Daenerys later that year. The sickness cut downs dozens of house Targaryen during its height, and it gained the name the Dragons Blight because of that feat. In the following years Jaehaerys became a hollow shell of his former self,and although his mental state improved with time, he was never again the spry charming man he was in his youth,and he gained a extreme fear of all coughs,sicknesses, and ills.

After Jaehaerys needed to look after his only son Aemon. He spend most of his time talking to his son and telling him the story of the great kings of Westeros.These were the only times when Jaehaerys' old self appeared once more and a smile was one his face once again.

In 483 Prince Aemon and Lady Jessa Stark married at Summerhall. A year later, the twins Princess Gael, and Prince Gaenor was born as the first grandchildren of the king.

Jaehaerys' physical state deteriorated in the final years of his life,for he was riddled with severe asthma,and collapsing of his lungs, as well as several welts forming along his left thigh,neck,and upper eye,each the size of a golf ball. In his delirium he would see his beloved sister once again singing to him in is stupor as she did when they were children.

In 485AC, the king passed away, leaving the realm of men.And so passed King Jaehaerys the younger, third of his name, King of the andals and the Roynar and the first men, who ruled and protected the relm over 23 years.
