Aerys Targaryen was the thirteenth king in Targaryen history, and had one of the more forgettable reigns in all ASOIAF lore. He did essentially nothing except read old books, scrolls, and prophecies, while leaving the kingly duties of a King to Bloodraven, the Hand of the King. But even then, centuries after Aegon the Conqueror, and decades before Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow, Aerys I and Bloodraven may have been preparing for the future. Which Targaryens knew about Aegon's dream, the Targaryen prophecy of the Prince that was Promised? How did Daemon II Blackfyre & Haegon Blackfyre challenge the Targaryen dynasty? What was Bittersteel's role in the fight against the White Walkers? Will we see any of this in the upcoming Hedge Knight series? Why do I ask so many questions in these descriptions?
