Wmarshal Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just appreciation thread for Maekar, the king who's life sucked. From his two eldest dying the most shameful way possible, mistakenly killing his brother, his third son being forced by his dad to the maesters, and death by giant rock, his was the most sh*tty of Targ reigns.

Lord Damian Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Meakar was a capable soldier and leader as he proved to be in the Blackfyre rebellion of Daemon Blackfyre. However, he seems to have possibly deposed and imprisoned (not yet confirmed) Bloodraven, his uncle who did just as much to defeat Daemon Blackfyre and secure "his", Meakar's line from his father through him and down. Meakar strikes me as a "backstabber" but he also had enough sense as a father to realize that Dunk would be a good role model for his son Aegon. He could have been worse and insane but overall a better than average Targ bordering on "very good" as a quality mark of his reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmarshal Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Never got a traitor vibe from Maekar, Brynden was using his brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Maekar was ok. We don't really know much of Bloodraven to know why exactly Maekar decided to imprisoned. For what we know, maybe he tried some very dark dangerous magic and Maekar put him away to protect his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baela of Pentos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Didn't Maekar consider the IT a punishment for his fatal blow to Baelor Breakspear? Anyway, Egg had it pretty good, traveled the 7k, married for love. Better than any of his older brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Maekar, the brooder of Summerhall, letting his child son (even if he was the youngest) go with some random hedge knight was one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. I know it was plot-needed. And that it turns out all right. But still, it makes little sense. So that kind of makes him look like a fool in my eyes.
