Biography
Background
Aegon is killed by Gregor Clegane in front of his mother.
Aegon Targaryen was the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Princess Elia Martell. He had an older sister, Rhaenys Targaryen, and a younger paternal half-brother, Jon Snow.[1][2] For mysterious reasons, Rhaegar allegedly abducted Jon's mother Lyanna Stark, sparking a rebellion that ultimately deposed House Targaryen as the ruling house of Westeros. Rhaegar was killed by Robert Baratheon, who was Lyanna's betrothed, at the Battle of the Trident. Soon afterward, Aegon and Rhaenys were brutally murdered along with their mother by Gregor Clegane during the Sack of King's Landing.[3]
Had he lived and ascended the throne, he would have ruled as "Aegon VI".
