Young Egon

[Cobalt86]

So, I guess that young Egon is the new ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Danny will probably conquer Westeros, and because she is sterile, he would be her heir.

Thoughts?

Egon? Who the fuck is Egon?

:confused:

Sry. I'm from Serbia, and we spell 'Egon' instead of 'Aegon'. I definitely mean on Aegon, son of Rhaegar Targaryen, Denny's nephew.

We don't know if the kid is who he claims to be. To some, it's very unlikely that he was indeed switched with another baby.

Yes, it seems likely and a good solution

Knowing GRRM though, i dotnt hink it will happen that way.

If Aegon is truly the son of Rhaegar, he would be the rightful ruler of Westeros, according to the laws of inheritance. Dany would be his heir, until he fathers a child.

If Aegon isn't truly Rhaegars son, then Dany is the rightful ruler, and Aegon is heir to no one.

As to Dany being sterile, we don't know that for sure. She started bleeding at the end of Dance, and she assumed it was her moons blood, though it gutted a lot, and mentioned that she couldn't remember the last time she had bled (one month ago? Two? Three?). Either it was a miscarriage, in which case there is a chance she is fertile again, or it was her moon's blood, and if that is the case, the fact that it is mentioned for he first time holds importance.

So I wouldn't state with certainty that Dany can't conceive just yet... ;)

Well, if the boy says to be "Aegon" he must provide some kind of proof.
And no, the weight of the army of Blackfyre loyalists that he brings with himself is not a good enough proof.
There are theories around insinuating that the motives for Illyrio and Varys to risk their wealth and serenity for a trip to Westeros must be personal: no amount of money can change their status, and so be worthy of the risks they are taking (expecially Varys).
They invested tens of years of their otherwise comfortable lives to prepare the fall of the Targaryen dinasty, and then "its comeback". Why?
Someone says that they did because Serra (Illyrio's wife) is the last female line Blackfyre. Vaerys would be her brother part of the "extinguished Blackfyre male line". "Aegon" in this scenario would be Serra and Illyrio's son.
Connington in this scenario is a useful dumb man, wanting to believe something of his beloved Rhaegar is still alive, to the point of believeing that the boy, which he met very young if not as a baby, is really his surviving son.
The theory explains more questions that the ones it stirs, Illyrio's and Varys motives for the great involvement in the story they have, very costly and not very rewarding without this explaination.
Or did you believe at Varys chatter about "the good of the Realm", in the name of which he would have started at least two civil wars, against governments in which he had a key role?
I'll addd a word on the "rightful" kings.
The Targaryen were "rightful" because Aegon I conquered the continent with brute force.
Robert was "rightful" because of the same reason.
Stannis mixes his brother's coup with the traditional system of inheritance to portrait himself as the "rightful" king.
Daenerys does the same to say she is the "rightful" queen, because she descends from the correct conqueror, while she invalidates the Usurper and his "dogs".
"Aegon" V does the same, but pretends he is an even more "rightful" Targaryen heir.
Renly and Jeoffrey did the same, pretending they were the most correct Baratheon heirs.
Tommen (or in his name someone else) is doing the same, possibly even Myrcella will end up doing so.
All of these recruit armies, as the instrument to justify their claims: they do know that the "legiptimate king" thing is rethoric, and everybody in Westeros's next generation will acknowledge that the winner had all the right to reign.
The Hound was right in what he told to Sansa about killers...
