Second Blackfyre Rebellion

The Second Blackfyre Rebellion was a conspiracy by Daemon II Blackfyre, posing as a hedge knight, to start an uprising against King Aerys I Targaryen at Whitewalls Castle and take the Iron Throne. There were numerous lords assisting Daemon in this endeavor.
Some time prior, Daemon had dreamed of a dragon hatching at the aforementioned castle. He took this as a sign that this would be where his reign would begin. At Whitewalls Castle, he met Ser Duncan the Tall and told him about the dream. Word soon reached Brynden Rivers, the Hand of the King, who put down the rebellion a day later. Daemon was then left to starve to death in a cell.
==In the books==
The "Second Blackfyre Rebellion" was more of a failed plot than an actual war, but historians still count it as the "Second" Blackfyre Rebellion. The first, third, fourth, and fifth rebellions were actual wars between armies.
In The Mystery Knight, Daemon came to Whitewalls during a wedding tourney in 212 AC, disguised as the hedge knight and musician "Ser John the Fiddler." The wedding, between Lord Ambrose Butterwell and a daughter of Lord Frey, was attended by many of those who had fought for House Blackfyre during the First Blackfyre Rebellion, joining their forces against the rule of Bloodraven. Among them were Ser Tommard Heddle and Lord Gormon Peake, who convinced Lord Butterwell to name his dragon egg as the victor's prize in the tourney and rig it in Daemon's favor. The tourney came to an abrupt end when Lord Peake announced that the egg had been stolen, and framed Ser Glendon Flowers. With the support of Ser Duncan the Tall, Glendon was allowed to fight a trial by combat against Daemon to prove his innocence, which he won.
Shortly after Glendon's trial, Brynden Rivers arrived at the castle with three of the Kingsguard, his three hundred Raven's Teeth, five hundred knights, and five thousand men-at-arms. Daemon attempted to rally the men in the castle to fight to the death, but was laughed off. He then parleyed with Brynden, challenging him to single combat, but instead the Hand took him hostage to prevent Bittersteel and the Golden Company from launching an invasion. Daemon later died in captivity, giving Bittersteel cause to crown Haegon Blackfyre and start the Third Blackfyre Rebellion.
After the rebellion, Gormon Peake was executed and Whitewalls was destroyed so as to not let it become a monument to House Blackfyre as the Redgrass Field had been. Lord Butterwell would be spared, but he lost all of his lands and titles and was left with only a tenth of his fortune.
