All the Kings and Queens of Westeros That Came Before and After Aegon II

Maekar is the younger brother of his predecessor, Aerys I, and the youngest son of Daeron II. Known for his capable military leadership during the Blackfyre rebellions, Maekar is a stern, unyielding man, especially after a mishap during a tourney leads to him accidentally killing his own brother Baelor. His reign, however, is relatively peaceful, although many suffer from the effects of a seven-year summer.

Maekar dies in battle twelve years into his reign, while fighting off another uprising. He is succeeded by his son, Aegon V.
