cousin, Princess Daena Targaryen, attempted to usurp the throne from King Daeron II
Targaryen, the legitimate son of King Aegon IV Targaryen and his sister-Queen, Naerys.
This caused the the second major civil war in the history of the Targaryen reign. The war

Daemon and his two eldest sons, Aegon and Aemon, were killed, and his allies defeated.

to the Free Cities by Aegor Rivers, known as "Bittersteel", Daemon's half-brother, who had
been one of Daemon's biggest supporters. They ended up in Tyrosh, the former home of
Daemon's widow, Rohanne, where Daemon's descendants and Aegor Rivers continued
plotting.

What did GRRM first intend to do?
During the initial writing of A Feast for Crows, GRRM realized that it would not work
as intended, and thus he scrapped his plans after a year of attempting to make it
work. The problem was that he found it impossible to accomplish and that it would
break up the narrative too much and leave readers unsatisfied with the result.
What he has now determined is that the events he planned to happen according to
the cancelled plan will largely still take place as planned, but will be happening
without having to cover for the cancelled plan . This does mean that characters will
be doing things at an earlier age than he supposed (meaning the children—Bran,
Arya, and Sansa—in particular), but it’s an unavoidable problem. He has previously
remarked that in hindsight, he should have made the children two or three years
older so as to avoid that problem.

Her cloak and collar hid the gash his brother’s blade had made, but her face
was even worse than he remembered. The flesh had gone pudding soft in the
water and turned the color of curdled milk. Half her hair was gone and the rest
had turned as white and brittle as a crone’s. Beneath her ravaged scalp, her
face was shredded skin and black blood where she had raked herself with her
nails. But her eyes were the most terrible thing. Her eyes saw him, and they
hated.

corruption. He had been dead for years.“

79. Aegon was from the island of _A_, the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian
freehold, which his family had settled over a century before the Doom of Valyria.
Aegon decided to go to west to Westeros, and for years he planned his conquest of
the Seven Kingdoms. He made a huge table map of Westeros, without any borders
to signify that it should be one realm alone instead of many. This map later became
to be known as the _B_ . When Aegon was ready, he and his two sister-wives _C_
and _D_, landed with his army on the east coast of Westeros at the mouth of the
_E_ Rush, where he constructed the wooden Aegonfort. With the aid of their three
dragons _F_, the Black Dread, Vhagar and Meraxes, Aegon led the Targaryen army
to victory after victory, including his first test near the _E_, the burning of _G_, and
the Field of Fire. He conqured and subjugated six of the seven kingdoms in Westeros
and failed to conquer _H_.
