Aegon the Elder
Aegon II, eldest son of Viserys I and Alicent Hightower, contested the throne with his elder half-sister Rhaenyra. The five main novels compress the Dance of the Dragons into genealogy, songs, and scattered historical examples: both claimants died, while the conflict kept shaping arguments about female succession. Detailed campaign history belongs to later chronicles and is not treated here as main-series evidence.
Key story events this character is involved in, and the chapters where they appear.
