## **History:**

Prince Aegon Targaryen was born the son King Rhaegar I Targaryen and Queen Elia Martell. He was born as the second child of King Rhaegar I Targaryen, but the first son, making him the heir to The Iron Throne and the future King of The Seven Kingdoms. Being born as the heir to the throne, makes Aegon the Crown Prince and the Prince of Dragonstone.

Aegon is very close to his family, like most of the Targaryen family. He is especially close with his elder sister Rhaenys and his younger brother Jaehaerys. Aegon had a close relationship with his father Rhaegar, he spent more time with Rhaegar than anyone else in the family did, his father wanted him to see what it was like to run The Seven Kingdoms before he was King, he had him sit in on matters of the court and Small Council meetings and even consulted him on matters to get his opinion on all sort off matters. Aegon was also close with the two Queen's his 'Mother' Elia Martell and his 'Mama' Lyanna Stark, the two Queen's always worried that Aegon had too much pressure on him at such a young age, they made sure to make sure he had time for himself to relax and spend time with family.

Even as a child Prince Aegon has been groomed to be a King, the number of extra lessons he had compared to his brother and sister took up a lot of his time, not giving him as much freedom as them. He felt the pressure of the Crown from a young age, a long time before he would ever encounter it.

He spent the rest of his free time either training with either Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Barristan Selmy, Ser Oswell Whent and Ser Jamie Lannister, the Kingsguard trained him to fight with a sword and a lance, he could fight quite well a sword, not quite to the standard of the Kingsguard, like his brother, Jae. His true talent came with the lance, that's where Aegon was at his best.

Unlike his family who have been sent of two other parts of the realm to experience the difference culture and customs, Aegon had to stay in King's Landing until his father, King Rhaegar was happy that Aegon was ready to take over his seat at Dragonstone. He continued his education in the capital from his tutor Haldon, while he spent time within the capital without his family present, with Ser Loras Tyrell, Ser Rolly Duckfield, Ser Harrold Hardyng and his cousin Prince Quentyn Martell. While he still hadn't taken over his seat at Dragonstone, he kept in frequent touch with Ser Willem Darry, the castellan of Dragonstone.
