A Tale of Two Aegons

In some ways they are as different as night is to day...

Aegon, who was born to be the 2nd of his name

Aegon, the 2nd of his name who was born for nothing

Aegon, the usurped

Aegon, the usurper

Aegon, who wanted the throne but was never able to take it

Aegon, who never wanted the throne but was given it

Aegon, who rode a silver dragon

Aegon, who rode a golden dragon

Aegon, who was named heir over his elder sister just for being born male

Aegon, who would have been named heir over his elder sister just for being born male if his father had been any other king, or if his mother had been his father's first Queen, the favored Queen

...yet in other ways, they're...

Aegon, who was named for the conqueror

Aegon, the second child & first surviving son

Aegon, who's terrible uncle's hated them for having a better claim to the throne

Aegon, who had 2 little brothers

Aegon, the son of a foolish weak king

Aegon, who was wed to his sister at 15

Aegon, who's sister wife rode Dreamfyre

Aegon, who became a father to twins by 16

Aegon, who didn't gave up on his goals

Aegon, who had to die, who's children had to die, to make space for someone better, and someone more important

...& their stories are the same.
