Daeron III Targaryen

King Daeron Targaryen, Third of His Name, is the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and King on the Iron Throne.

Though never having a particularly peaceful or compassionate relationship with his father, Daeron was blindsided by his father attempting to take his life using an assassin, which resulted in the death of his wife Argella Baratheon and their unborn child. The Prince of Dragonstone took sail to Storm's End and proclaimed his father unfit to rule. This began the Dragon's Defiance, which would become the first civil war between lords of Westeros since the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion, well over a century before. Daeron took the throne in 379 AC, after his father was murdered at the hands of his Kingsguard, Vorian Dayne, which ended the war.
