Reign of Aegon IV The Unworthy (1 янв 172 г. – 1 янв 184 г.)

Описание:

Aegon the Unworthy was the eleventh Targaryen to sit the Iron Throne, and is considered to be one of the worst Targaryen kings.
Aegon fathered countless bastards during his reign. Those who were born to highborn mothers became known as the Great Bastards. On his deathbed, Aegon legitimized all of his bastards due to his disdain for his only legitimate son, Daeron, who attempted to curb his father's more extreme habits. During his reign, Aegon may have even been the one to spread rumors about his wife, Naerys' supposed infidelity in order to have Daeron declared the illegitimate son of Naerys and their younger brother, Aemon the Dragonknight. Naerys was declared innocent however, when Aemon successfully defended her in a trial by combat.
The reign of the unworthy monarch finally ended in early 184 AC. At only forty-nine years of age, he had become so morbidly obese he could not walk anymore, making many wonder how his last mistress could endure his embrace. Aegon died a horrible death, his bloated body so swollen that he could not even lift himself from his couch that became covered in his feces. Aegon's limbs were rotting and crawling in hosts of flesh worms, and the maesters said they had never seen the like of this before. The septons, however, pronounced it a judgment of the gods. He was given the milk of the poppy to try to dull the pain but nothing else could be done.
