King Maegor Targaryen I

• General Notes
  • 
    Maegor I, called Maegor the Cruel, was the son of Aegon I and Visenya.  He was the younger brother of Aenys I and served as his Hand during his rule.  Under unknown circumstances he came to the Iron Throne ahead of his brother's son, Jaehaerys.
    
    Maegor subdued and disbanded the Faith Militant during his reign with ruthless and brutal methods, earning him his nickname. He also completed construction on the Red Keep, giving Maegor's Holdfast its name. He had its builders executed to protect the secrets of the hidden passages he had constructed.  Maegor notoriously kept multiple wives at a time and executed several of them for failing to produce an heir.  Maegor also had three Grand Maest.ers executed. Maegor was killed on the Iron Throne by unknown means, though some say by the Throne itself
