Ser Lepus Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I was talking about his father and uncle : Ambrosius and Uther, who are described as "dux bellorum" : latin war chiefs= conquerors=> And eventhough they came from an empire (Rome), crowned themselves "kings" of Britain. But by that time Britain had been a province of the Roman Empire for centuries, and I think Gildas said that Ambrosius and Uther were Roman-Britons of mixed ancestry, whose ancestors had been living there for quite long.

Rickon will return Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ambrosius and Uther were creating a new entity, not restablishing the Roman Empire. Hence the title of king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormland's Fury Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 But you see, that wasn't Aegon's style. Aegon just put himself at the top of the already existing power structure, he didn't really change anything. He left everything in Westeros pretty much the same, but put himself on top.I agree actually that's probably why he chose the title of King and demoted everyone else.
