Prince Baelor Targaryen

• General Notes
  • 
    Born in the year year 170, Baelor Targaryen, known as "Baelor Breakspear", was the eldest son of King Daeron II Targaryen. His father named him after King Baelor I. 
    
    Baelor distinguished himself during the Blackfyre Rebellion by leading the Dornish-Stormland force who attacked the rearguard of the rebel army of Daemon Blackfyre during the Battle of the Redgrass Field. He was later named Hand of the King by his father and was recognized as a good Hand and "the soul of chivalry."
    
    In the Ashford Tourney, Prince Baelor vouched for Ser Duncan the Tall because he knew Duncan's old master, Ser Arlan of Pennytree.  Baelor had jousted with Ser Arlan of Pennytree in a tourney at Storm's End and had unhorsed him after breaking four lances.  Due to Baelor`s intervention, Duncan was allowed to enter the lists.
    
    When Duncan attacked Prince Aerion Brightfire to defend an innocent puppeteer, Prince Baelor had a private word with Duncan and chastised him about his actions. The next day, Baelor sat together with Lord Tyrell and Lord Ashford in judgment of Duncan. Prince Aerion demanded a Trial of Seven, which was granted.
    
    With the help of Aegon Targaryen and Ser Raymun Fossoway, Duncan was able to recruit five men to fight for him. They needed one more, and because Prince Baelor believed Duncan, he fought for him, even though his nephew was the accuser. His brother, Maekar, was furious, but Baelor said:  “This man protected the weak, as every true knight must; let the gods determine if he was right or wrong."   Duncan's defending party won the trial, but Prince Baelor received a mortal blow to his head, possibly from his brother, Prince Maekar.
    
    Bealor Targaryen was the eldest son of Daeron II.  He had two sons, Valarr and Matarys. Both sons died in the Great Spring Sickness together with King Daeron.  Baelor's brother, Aerys I, succeeded their father and was later succeeded by their youngest brother, Maekar, who had dealt the blow that killed Baelor.
