King Baelor II Targaryen was Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and the twentieth Targaryen king to sat the Iron Throne. He was the only son of King Aerion I Targaryen and Queen Jasmine Baratheon. He had two older sister, Shaera and Vaella, and a younger cousin named Rhaegar. He was made Prince of Dragonstone in 327AC, and ascended the Iron Throne in 339AC.

## Appaerance and Character

Baelor's traits was the same as his father's. He was really smart and joyful, but he was wayward and arrogant at the same time. Like his father, he had lilac eyes with silver hair.

Baelor was one of the greatest swordsman in his time, and his opponents knew they have small chance againts the young Prince.

## History

Baelor's dragon was Drogon, who was one of the biggest dragon in his time. During King Baelor's rule lived Drogon, Rhaegal, Viserion and Nightfyre. Rhaegal's maester was Princess Shaera. For Viserion was Princess Viserra and Nightfyre was alone for a short time, after Aerion I passed away.

### The Young King

King Baelor Targaryen, Second of his Name, was crowned at the age of ten and five, in 339AC, at King's Landing. He weard the Conqueror(s) crown, and wore the Blackfyre with himself, that have returned to House Targaryen, by the Golden Company.

His first duty was to name a new heir, although he hadn't had kids yet. So in 339AC Prince Daemon Targaryen was made Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne. Prince Daemon advised the young king to take a new wife. Baelor chose Princess Shaera, continuing the Valyrian tradition.

In 339AC King Baelor II and Princess Shaera married at King's Landing, in Baelor's Sept. A year later Prince Aegon was borne, so in 340AC Prince Aegon was named Prince of Dragonstone.

### The Grow of the Family

Baelor knew that House Targaryen is weak without offsprings. So he made his sister, Princess Vaella, wed to their cousin Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in 346AC. The marriage wasn't long after Prince Rhaegar died on the tourney of the King's name day. The grief was enormous, the loss was unacceptable, for everyone loved Prince Rhaegar.

In 342AC, Prince Viserys was born and a year later, Prince Jaehaerys. Baelor's line was secured with 4 children (Aegon, Naera, Viserys and Jaehaerys). Shaera's love for her brother, king Baelor, was indescribable for they really took care for each other.

## Reign

King Baelor's reign wasn't as peacful as his father's. During his time broke out the First and Second War of the Reach.

### The First War of the Reach (342-344AC)

Lord Edmund Tyrell was the Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South, between 331-342AC. He married Lady Tarah Hastwyck, but they never had children together. Lord Tyrell had two bastard son instead, who were always racing each other for their father's love and respect.

When Lord Tyrell died in 342AC, his youngest bastard son was in King's Landing. After the news of Lord Tyrell's death, Prince Daemon advised the King to legalise Lord Tyrell's eldest son as Lord Tyrell, Head of House Tyrell. But King Baelor II disagreed with the proposal of his uncle, and he made Lord Edmund's youngest son the head of House Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South, as he was one of the friends of the King, even though he was a bastard. In Highgarden, the other Lords of The Reach already took side beside the cause of the elder bastard named Jason - proclaimed Jason Tyrell - and they prepared to war.

The army of Jason Tyrell was bigger and it was secured financially too. The army was made of twenty and seven thousand men of the Reach. It was commanded by Lord Hubard Hastwyck, the brother in law of late Lord Edmund Tyrell, and by Jason Tyrell himself.

Balon Tyrell's army was half of his brother's, but it was led by Prince Daemon Targaryen. The King stayed in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms to stay in charge of the court. Balon had no experience in battle nor in combat, but he was patient and a good strategist, unlike his half-brother Jason.

The first battle took place near of Bitterbridge, in late 343AC. The loss wasn't enormous for the two side, but the army led by Jason Tyrell overcame the army of his younger half-brother. Balon asked for support from the crown but no answer came, for Jason made sure that no raven leaves the Reach. After Balon and Prince Daemon made camp north to Grassy Vale, about three thousand men attacked the undefended camp, capturing Daemon Targaryen and Balon Tyrell.

The Prince was taken care of while Balon was imprisoned in Highgarden. Jason Tyrell demanded his brother to stand down with his claim and aknoweledge him as Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South. Balon answered him:

* *"Your claim is false. You have no power over the King os the Seven Kingdoms!"*

Jason smiled, and told Baelon:

* *"You're right, but i do have power over you!*

And with his last phrase finished towards his half-brother, he took his head, in 344AC. The War had no purpouse to continue, Jason Tyrell let Prince Daemon Targaryen to go on his way. When Daemon arrived in King's Landing, he became very ill.

In 345AC Prince Daemon Targaryen died in fever, at King's Landing. Belor was schocked, and was furious. He made promise on his dying bed, that he will finish what they started together.

### The Second War of the Reach (348-349AC)

After the loss of the First War of the Reach, Baelor already knew that he need dragons to fulfill their duty. In 348AC, King Baelor II summoned Lord Manly Lannister to King's Landing, and declared that he intend to end this Jason "Tyrell". Lord Manly summoned his bannermen and started to recruit the Royal Army. Baelor's Hand was Prince Geron of House Martell, since the death of his uncle.

The dornish Prince sent a raven to Sunspear, where his elder sister ruled at the time, asking for help to finish this Jason "Tyrell" (time by time, they started to name him the "False Tyrell" or the "False Lord"). In two moons time the Princess answered to the King's Hand, that she'll send ten thousand men with the command of Prince Torelyn Martell, their nephew. The Golden Company was ready to strike again, but they lost many during the First War.

The Golden Company attacked from the north of the Reach, while the dornish army captured Horn Hill and Starkpike. Lord Jason knew he was in a bad situation, but it did get even worse for him. Princess Vaella Targaryen took Viserion and flew to Lord Manly Lannister, to help him on the battlefield. King Baelor went to Horn Hill, to rejoin the army of Prince Torelyn. Then the King flew on Drogon's back, to Highgarden where he met Lord Jason. Jason surrendered as the royal army took the northen Reach castles and the dornish army took the southern castles, including Oldtown, without any men loss. The Lords of the Reach surrendered aswell, ending the Second War in 349AC.

Jason the False Lord, was imprisoned and was taken to court in King's Landing to face justice. King Baelor's hatred for Jason was indiscribable, so the King sentensed him to death. Jason commanded a Trial by Combat. Jason was a great warrior, so he don't needed anyone to stand up for him. The court's side was represented by the King himself, so Baelor the Second put his armor on and the sword of the kings, the Blackfyre. The council tried to convince the King to not take this risk, but his Grace wasn't concerned with it.

The trial began with the clap of the queen. Baelor and Jason fought over two hours, until Baelor made the last strike againts Jason the False Lord. The King pierced the blackfyre through his neck, ending the conflict of 8 years.

### Afterwards

After the False Lord's death, Baelor named Baelon's only son, Eldon Tyrell, the head of House Tyrell. The boy was only 7, but his mother helped him. Baelor commanded his sister, to go with the boy and maintain the order on the Reach. Vaella listened to his brother's command, and stayed in Highgarden during 5 long years.

The boy grew strong and he made many friends on the Reach. He married Lady Lisie Hightower at the age of 14, and they produced many heirs during the years.

The Reach was secured thanks to the King himself and Princess Vaella Targaryen, but the loss of Prince Daemon Targaryen was great. The King blamed himself for his death, during the rest of his life.

In 357AC, the Prince of Dragonstone, Prince Aegon fell off his horse while riding with his lover. Many says he was drunk while riding. When the news of Aegon's death came to court, Baelor was heartbroken and didn't even belived it. With Prince Aegon's death, Prince Viserys was made Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne in 358AC.

## Death

King Baelor Targaryen, Second of his Name, ruled over 20 years until 361AC. He died in the Great Spring Sickness at Dragonstone, along with the widow queen Jessa Baratheon, who lived 55 years. A year later passed away Princess Vaella too, at Casterly Rock. King Baelor is remembered as a great warrior and strategist. His heir and son, Viserys III Targaryen followed him on the throne.
