What would Aegon the Conqueror have thought of his successors ?

Which is not a big deal in a world where dynasties (unrealistically) last for millennia. The Starks, Gardeners, Lannisters or Durrandons were all kings for more than 6,000 years.

But these local rulers never ruled anything close to the size of Westeros. They are not the equal of the Targaryens.

That's very disputable. As I see it, the breakdown would be:

  • 6 able-ish kings: Aegon I, Jaehaerys I, Aegon III, Daeron II, Maekar, Aegon V
  • 6 lame kings: Aenys I, Viserys I, Aegon II, Daeron I, Baelor, Aerys I
  • 3 dangerous psychopaths: Maegor, Aegon IV, Aerys II
  • 2 kings with too short a reign to say: Viserys II, Jaehaerys II

As you say, that is how you see it. Which is not the way I see it.

What do you think that Aegon the Conqueror would have thought of his sons, and of all his descendants who sat on the Iron Throne as kings (or queen in Rhaenyra's case) ? 

Which ones of his Targaryen successors would he have been proud of ? Which one in particular would have gotten his best approval ? 

Who would disappoint him ? And which ones would he find to be okay, not really good but not bad either ? 

He would be rather disappointed in Aegon IV, Aerys II, and Baelor the Blessed.  Rhaenyra was not to blame for her father's bad planning.  He would find the rest of them satisfactory.  Aegon would be very impressed with young Daenerys.

Let me guess, every single one of those kings should be put in a god tier.
