AEGON II: USURPER or VICTIM? The TRUTH NOBODY TOLD YOU | House of the Dragon

How did a king scarred by war and betrayal shape the fate of the Targaryen? Known as the Usurper by his enemies and the Golden by his supporters, Aegon Targaryen the Second may be remembered very differently by those who know the truth of his story. Perhaps we should call him Aegon the Pawn or Aegon the Manipulated, for his ascension to the Iron Throne was not the product of his ambition but of the intrigues of those around him. The son of Viserys and Alicent Hightower, Aegon inherited not only the blood of the dragon, but also a war that would divide the Seven Kingdoms. From birth, he was a tool in the hands of Otto Hightower and Larys Strong, used to consolidate the power of their faction. His reign, though brief, was devastating, marked by betrayal, tragedy, and a struggle for power that eventually consumed even those closest to him. But the big question remains: How did someone who never wanted the throne end up waging a war that tore his own family apart? In this video, we'll discuss the true story of the sixth Targaryen to sit on the Iron Throne. The life of Aegon the Second, the king who defied his half-sister, rode the most majestic dragon of his time, and may have been the foundation of his own family's destruction, who bore a name that was supposed to be that of a conqueror, but more often than not proved to be a coward. This is the story of Aegon the Second.
