## History

Daeron was born to Aegon VII Targaryen and Visenya Silvermoon on the 12th Month of 431 AC. He was born in the Red Keep a few days before his half-brother Viserys, who was born on the island of Dragonstone.

His childhood was uneventful, for the most part, until the sudden and unexpected death of his father in 439 AC which prompted a Great Council to be called. The outcome of that Great Council was his ascension as King, and since then there has been a renewed interest over his future as the realm will be in his hands when he came of age.

After he turned 16 (an adult according to westeros law), he took control at the small council and then he named his younger half-brother Prince Viserys Targaryen his Hand. The two ruled successfully togheter, until Viserys started to drink. Lord Bytos Lanniser warned the king about his brother and Daeron knew that he need to chose another Hand if the situation does not change.

In 448 he married Lady Naera Velaryon, a valyrian beauty with silver hair and purple eyes. One year later the king's firstborn child was born. They named her Daerys, after the Mother of Dragons. Then in 451AC the new heir, Prince Jaehaerys was born and everything changed.

In 452AC, King Daeron called the small council. He stated that he wanted a new hand to help him. ( the king wanted to spend more time with his children). Prince Viserys was not present, so it was possible to discuss the matter openly. They discussed during 3 days, then the decision was made by the king and the small council. King Daeron III Targaryen named Lord Bytos Lannister his Hand. Viserys wasn't even in King's Landing apparently. It took 2 moon for him to show up in the small council, where he wasn't welcome. Viserys left with his fury and went to Summerhall.

King Daeron III's reign was marked by peace and prosperity. He was loved by his family, his council and by the smallfolk. He died of fever, as did many members of the court in 463AC.

Daeron is called as "the Gracious King".
