Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion

The Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion was a short uprising led by Daemon III Blackfyre during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen.
== Prelude ==
In Tyrosh, Ser Aegor Bittersteel crowns Daemon Blackfyre as King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men after the death of Haegon Blackfyre, another Blackfyre claimant who died in the Third Blackfyre Rebellion. During the Great Council of 233 AC, Aenys Blackfyre tried to make his claim on the Iron Throne, but he was arrested and executed on the orders of Brynden Bloodraven, the Hand of the King.
== The Rebellion ==
King Daemon led the Golden Company across the Narrow Sea with the help of Bittersteel. They landed at Massey's Hook in the Crownlands.
King Aegon the Unlikely and his three sons rode out of King's Landing to face the invaders. A battle broke out at Wendwater Bridge, and the Golden Company was defeated. Lord Commander Duncan of the Kingsguard killed Daemon, and Aegor Rivers fleed back into exile in Essos.
The heir of Lord Gerold Lannister, Ser Tion, was slain at Wendwater. This made Tytos Lannister the new heir to Casterly Rock.
== Aftermath ==
Aegor Rivers arrived in the Disputed Lands a few years after the rebellion, fighting in a skirmish between the Free Cities of Tyrosh and Myr. Though Ser Aegor died a few years later, the Blackfyre cause would remain until 260 AC, where Maelys Blackfyre was slain by Ser Barristan the Bold in the War of the Ninepenny Kings.
