Reign of Viserys II (jan 1, 171 – jan 1, 172)
Description:
Viserys II Targaryen was the tenth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. He was the son of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen, the brother and Hand of King Aegon III Targaryen, and the father of King Aegon IV Targaryen, Queen Naerys Targaryen, and Prince Aemon "the Dragonknight".
Viserys served as Hand during the last years of his brother Aegon III's reign. Viserys remained in the office during the reigns of both of his brother's sons, Daeron I and Baelor I. Viserys was said to be instrumental in keeping the realm intact while Aegon brooded, Daeron warred, and Baelor prayed. It was rumored that to spare the realm embarrassment, Viserys used his position as Hand to order the poisoning of a stonemason whom Baelor had appointed as High Septon.
He died only one year into his reign, and it is believed that he was poisoned by his son and heir.
