TheStarkInWinterhell Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 With the talk of Aegon being a fake and either a Blackfyre or a Brightflame. Where is Maegor Brightflame at? He would be about to turn 70. And the book shows people living well passed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was alive I would think that he would have come home by now, so I think that he's dead since a few decades at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnar of Skagos Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Dead, perhaps. Young Griff might be his grandson. There's a theory about this somewhere on the forums you might find interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Suburbs Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I read somewhere on these forums that Maegor could be the Tattered Prince, but I'm not sure if the timeline is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alternis Dim Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I don't think Maegor's descendants, if he had any, ended up in Essos. By 219 AC, Aerion had returned from his exile, while Maegor was born in 232 AC, according to the wikia. I don't see why a prince born in Westeros would move to Essos. In my opinion, we have little information about him because Martin's saving it for the Dunk & Egg narrating Aegon V's ascension to the throne. (I haven't read the Brightfyre theory yet, maybe it will address my point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maegor Brightflame Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'm right here...I was a Young sellsword in pentos until I ended up right here...fat and rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Joe the Unknighted Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Illyrio himself is too young too be Maegor Brightflame, but Illyrio could be the son of Brightflame. Varys is a eunuch who shaves his head or has no hair naturally. Eunuchs age slower than other people and the lack of hair mean no grey or silver hair to hide. Varys could be much older than he looks and could be seventy years old and could be Maegor Targaryen himself. Maybe Maegor stuck around Aegon V's court and was killed at Summerhall. We just don't know enough. I think he was in Westeros at his birth and I don't know how he would end up in Essos. He would be two years younger than Jeor Mormont and three years older than Ser Barristan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Viserys Targaryen IV Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 My gut say that Varys is Maegors' son, found out that Sara was a Blackfyre and that is what started Illyrio and Vary's plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Melnibonean Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Maegor's strongest family ties were to House Targaryen, House Arryn, and House Dayne, in that order. I would expect he was raised at King's Landing, Dragonstone, Summerhall, the Eyrie, or Starfall. Forget Brightfyre, let the Darkstar Brightflame theories commence!

ThePromiseThatWasAPrince Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am pretty sure it is hinted in one of Ned's chapters that all of the Targs were hunted and killed.......which means they knew where Maegor was. But I haven't read said theory either, so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. Uh ohhhh. If anybody can represent two metaphorical people at the same time, it's future tween sensation Darkstar.

Visenya the Dragon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 He is the Tattered Prince. The timeline fits. We also know Maegor the Cruel went to Pentos during his exile. I will add I think Varys is his son, and when Tatters ran from Pentos he left his family behind thinking they would be safe, and then that's when Varys was sold off. This could help explain why he wants to take Pentos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wondering Wolf Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 He is the Tattered Prince. The timeline fits.. Hm, not really. Maegor was born in 232 AC, the Tattered Prince in 238 or 239 AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaynsa Starne Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm guessing dead. Maybe in Summerhall of the Sack of KL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visenya the Dragon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Tatters is said to look well past 60, so that is closer to 70. He is around 68, which fits with Maegor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcotron Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't think Maegor's descendants, if he had any, ended up in Essos. By 219 AC, Aerion had returned from his exile, while Maegor was born in 232 AC, according to the wikia. I don't see why a prince born in Westeros would move to Essos.I also don't see why the heir of a prince would end up as a slave sold to a mage like Varys, or a prostitute like Serra. However, GRRM tells us Aerion sired a bastard or three in Lys. The bastard child of an exiled prince turned sellsword and (most likely) a prostitute or commoner, his children ending up as slaves or prostitutes doesn't seem at all unlikely. And if Maegor is dead and has no living descendants, Varys or Serra might see themselves as his Aerion's heirs, or Illyrio might see them that way.
