==In the books==
In the Dunk & Egg novellas, Daeron has sallow skin, sandy brown hair, and a blond beard. Known as "Daeron the Drunken," he is not much of a knight, disliking horses and swords. He is among the few Targaryens who have prophetic dragon dreams.
In 209 AC, Prince Maekar sent his sons Daeron and Aegon to the tourney at Ashford Meadow, hoping they would outshine the sons of his brother Baelor Breakspear. On the way to the tourney, Daeron defiantly ran off with Aegon, shaving his younger brother's head to hide his Valyrian features. While drinking at an inn, he was approached by Ser Duncan the Tall, whom he had dreamt of and told to stay away. Aegon, incognito as "Egg," followed Duncan to Ashford hoping to be his squire and to participate in the tourney.
Daeron was later found by Roland Crakehall of the Kingsguard, who had been sent by Prince Maekar. He told his father that Aegon had been abducted by a huge robber knight, and that he had been pursuing them. Before the following trial by seven, he apologized to Dunk for lying, and said that he dreamed that a great dead dragon would fall on Dunk, but he would walk away alive. He also told him that he would stay on the ground and not fight during the trial.
During the trial by seven, Daeron was unhorsed by Ser Robyn Rhysling, after which his own horse stepped on him, injuring his foot. He stayed on the ground as promised. Daeron's dragon dream was fulfilled during the trial, as Baelor Breakspear died in Dunk's arms.
Following Maekar's coronation in 221 AC, Daeron was named Prince of Dragonstone, though he preferred "Prince of Summerhall", a title previously held by his father. His brother Aemon served as his household maester. Daeron married Kiera of Tyrosh, his cousin Valarr's widow, who gave birth to the simple-minded Princess Vaella in 222 AC.
Daeron died before his father, reputably from a pox he had caught from a prostitute. His death caused a succession crisis that was resolved with the Great Council of 233 AC.
Maester Aemon thinks of Daeron and his other siblings during his final days.
