Conquest of Dorne (1 Jan 157 Jahr – 1 Jan 161 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Upon taking the throne at age fourteen, King Daeron I decides to finish Aegon the Conqueror's work and launches a successful invasion of Dorne. Following the Submission of Sunspear, the Young Dragon leaves Lord Lyonel Tyrell to govern Dorne. After Daeron returns to King's Landing, however, the Dornishmen kill Lyonel to an uprising against the Iron Throne. When Daeron I returns with a fresh army, he is killed while meeting under a peace banner and his cousin, Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, is captured. Daeron is said to have lost ten thousand men conquering Dorne and fifty thousand while failing to hold it.
King Baelor I Targaryen traveled to Dorne to negotiate.
The Hand of the King, Prince Viserys Targaryen, ordered the fourteen highborn hostages taken after the Submission of Sunspear thrown in the Red Keep's dungeons to await their execution.
The newly-crowned Baelor I Targaryen, however, desired peace with Dorne, and he walked the Boneway barefoot to Sunspear, returning the hostages. At the Dornish capital, he spoke with the Prince of Dorne, and negotiated a betrothal between his cousin, Prince Daeron Targaryen, and the eldest child of the Prince of Dorne, Princess Myriah Martell, as part of the peace negotiations.
From Sunspear, Baelor travelled to Wyl, where his cousin, Aemon the Dragonknight, had been imprisoned in a cage above a pit filled with vipers. Baelor was given the key to open the cage by Lord Wyl. While the songs say that the vipers bowed their heads to Baelor and refused to bite him because he was pure and holy, in truth Baelor the Blessed was bitten many times, and he collapsed almost before Aemon could open the door to his cage and pull him inside. With Baelor flung across his back and his cage now opened, Aemon was able to get both of them to safety. The Dragonknight travelled from Wyl to Blackhaven with an unconscious Baelor and on to Storm's End, where he stayed for half a year before he could continue his journey to King's Landing.
