      Bcs he didn't let any dragons around. He didn't even want to restore the dragons while he actually could have. So it's not literally means he killed the dragons, it's just means that he opposed the idea of bringing back the dragons. I mean with 5 children, he could've put eggs on their cradle (Daemon has 20 eggs at Dragonstone) but he didn't bcs he didn't want any dragons

    He wasnt a bad king tho tbf, he kinda harshly critiqued as a broken king but he had plenty of "Kingly" moments like when he held strong during the secret siege or dismissing all his power hungry regents on his nameday, he was just emotionless after suffering so much and did not give af bout anyone but his family.

    He wasn’t a bad king. He was 11 when he became king and he was 15 when he begin his period. Ruled a broken Westeros that was still pretty divided and recovering from the war and the winter fiver.
    He ruled for 23 years with his brother Viserys as hand to the king. They tried to poison his little queen and he remain kneel by her side, sadly his friend Gaemon did not survived the poisoning. The only reason Aegon wasn’t poison was because he did not like sweets.
    He wasn’t describe as a cruel man or a cruel ruler, husband or father growining up with only memories of what his family was growing up with dragonstone.
    He was a super king for having to stand through so much at such young age.

      My take? He isn't. He's Aegon IVs. But, oh, how he would have loved to have his beloved uncle as his true father instead of Aegon Dragonpig. I also hope he does his mother Naerys justice by interring her ashes with Aemon instead of with Aegon.

    It was said that Aegon III did not like to be touched, nor did he find joy in fatherhood.
    The man had 5 children. Don't tell me he wanted 5 children only out of duty.
    Plus his eldest daughter Daena practically worshipped Aegon. His youngest daughter Elaena wore black all the time, to emulate Aegon.
    I like to think that behind closed doors, Aegon showed a little softer side to his wife and kids.

      Jaehaera probably committed suicide. Both Aegon III and Jaehaera were depressed from the dance, except in Jaehaera case is that all the greens were wiped out from her side. Aegon and his sisters (Baela and Rhaena) couldn’t care less because they all were grieving in their own way and didn’t even ish any association with a Green child (not Jaehaera’s fault in this). Aegon in the other hand became all numb to emotions. The only time he ever showed a reaction to was when he saw Rhaena’s dragon and when he saw Viserys after so many years.
