He paid the dowry his late father had promised to the Archon of Tyrosh, seeing his half-brother Daemon I Blackfyre wed to Rohanne of Tyrosh, as per the late Aegon's desire. Prince Daeron ascended the throne as King Daeron II Targaryen, and did all he could to keep the nobly-born Great Bastards close. In early 184 AC, King Aegon IV Targaryen legitimized all of his bastards on his deathbed. King Aegon IV Targaryen knights his bastard son, Daemon, publicly acknowledging him as his own son, and grants him the Targaryen sword Blackfyre - by Marc Simonetti. Following the acquisition of the sword, Daemon took the name "Blackfyre" for himself. Aegon's public gift of the sword eventually started talk that Daemon should be king. There were some who felt that the sword symbolized the monarchy (not unlike rumors that were spread when King Aenys I Targaryen bestowed the sword on his half-brother, Prince Maegor), as it had been the sword of King Aegon I Targaryen, the Conqueror, and had been passed on from king to king ever since. Aegon publicly bestowed Blackfyre, one of the Valyrian steel swords of House Targaryen, on Daemon as well, finally acknowledging him. In 182 AC, Aegon knighted his bastard son, Daemon Waters, after the boy won a squire's tourney at the age of twelve. Meanwhile, two factions began to form at court, one supporting the corrupt reign of Aegon IV, the other supporting Daeron. The rumors about Daeron's parentage forever remained, but despite Aegon's threats and japes, Daeron was never formally disowned.
For the first time, though not the last, Aegon threatened to name one of his bastard sons ( Aegor Rivers and Balerion Otherys being the only sons Aegon had, at this point, acknowledged) as his heir over Daeron. Around the same time, rumors began to circulate, instigated by King Aegon himself, that Daeron was a bastard born of adultery between his siblings, Naerys and Aemon. When Aegon, in 174 AC, planned to launch an unprovoked attack against Dorne, the homeland of his daughter-in-law Myriah Martell, Daeron opposed his ideas. Aegon, on the other hand, despised his sister-wife, Naerys, and his younger brother, Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, to both of whom Prince Daeron was close. Aegon often clashed with Prince Daeron during his reign, with Daeron opposing the ideas and the corrupt style of rule of his father. In addition to his unacknowledged bastard son by Daena, King Aegon IV Targaryen had by his marriage to his sister, Naerys, a trueborn son named Daeoron, born in 153 AC, and a daughter, Daenerys, born in 172 AC. Viserys ruled only for a year, until his own death, after which his eldest son, King Aegon IV Targaryen, ascended the Iron Throne in 172 AC. After the claims of Daena and her sisters were dismissed, Daena's uncle was crowned as King Viserys II Targaryen. Baelor I, in response to Daemon's birth, began a forty-day fast, which eventually caused his death in 171 AC. Daena refused to reveal the identity of the father of her child, though Aegon was already suspected to have been involved. In late 170 AC, she gave birth to a bastard son whom she named Daemon Waters. However, Daena contrived to escape her imprisonment on several occasions, and towards the end of her brother's reign became pregnant by her cousin, Prince Aegon. He then locked Daena with his other sisters, Rhaena and Elaena, in the Maidenvault, so they could not tempt the lusts of men. Īfter King Baelor I Targaryen made peace with Dorne, he returned to King's Landing and annulled his marriage to his eldest sister, Daena. Conflict arose when Daemon, a bastard son of the late King Aegon IV Targaryen, claimed the throne of his older, trueborn brother, King Daeron II Targaryen, which resulted in open civil war that divided the Seven Kingdoms. The First Blackfyre Rebellion, known to contemporaries as the Blackfyre Rebellion, was a war fought between the loyalist forces of King Daeron II Targaryen and the rebel forces of his half-brother, Daemon I Blackfyre.
