Maegor's few supporters fled or were imprisoned, and Jaehaerys was anointed King of the Seven Kingdoms at the age of 14.

Jaehaerys flew atop Vermithor to the capital while Lord Rogar Baratheon marched his soldiers towards the city. Balerion was without a rider, making Maegor's suspicious death the opportune time to seize King's Landing. However, war would never come to pass, as Maegor was soon discovered dead upon the Iron Throne, skewered through the throat and elsewhere by the many blades that comprised the high seat. War was looming in Westeros, and though Vermithor had grown massive by the time Jaehaerys claimed him as a rider, the Bronze Beast was no match for Balerion. Jaehaerys put forward his claim to the Iron Throne, and countless banners flocked to his side in an attempt to overthrow Maegor.

Though the bloodthirsty king disinherited Jaehaerys, the Lords Paramount of Westeros had had enough. This moment of providence would see the state of the realm finally turn against Maegor the Cruel. In response, Maegor tortured and murdered Jaehaerys' holder brother Viserys, making Jaehaerys the oldest living heir to the Iron Throne, and the largest challenge to Maegor's rule. Fortunately, Visenya died of natural causes on Dragonstone, and Jaehaerys and his family were able to flee Dragonstone along with their dragons. Visenya Targaryen took Jaehaerys, his sister, and his mother hostage on Dragonstone, and Maegor soon killed his older brother Aegon in battle. Those who voiced objections to Maegor were often beheaded with the Valyrian Steel sword Blackfyre, or worse, were disposed of by Balerion. Maegor took many wives in defiance of the Faith, and was notorious for his brutality towards them as well as the Lords of Westeros and the smallfolk. Maegor's rule was one of tyranny, earning him the nickname 'Maegor the Cruel.' He immediately took Balerion to the skies and stomped out the rebellion of the Faith with dragonfire. Visenya visited her son in exile and brought him back to Westeros, where he immediately claimed the Iron Throne despite his older brother (also named Aegon) being the heir by laws of inheritance. Maegor, ever the obstinate brute, chose exile while stating 'the strictures of the Faith do not rule the blood of the dragon.' Maegor took Alys and flew to Pentos atop Balerion the Black Dread, who Maegor had claimed after Aegon the Conquerer's death. King Aenys presented Maegor with a choice: break off his marriage to Alys or be banished. However, Maegor had cast aside his wife Ceryse Hightower and married Lady Alys Harroway, which the Faith had considered fornication and an affront to the realm. The death of King Aenys led Dowager Queen Visenya Targaryen to take to the skies on Vhagar to find her son Maegor, who had served as Aenys' Hand of the King.
