Maegor Towers was the Lord of Harrenhal and the head of House Towers during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. He was the last of his line. He was named after King Maegor I Targaryen.[1]

Character

Maegor was sickly and poor.[1]

History

Maegor's father, Lord Jordan Towers, was one of the last lords of the Seven Kingdoms who remained loyal to King Maegor I Targaryen. All of Jordan's sons died fighting in the king's wars, with the exception of young Maegor.[1]

Maegor became Lord Towers after the death of his father due to a chest congestion. When King Jaehaerys I Targaryen began a royal progress in 53 AC to celebrate the new year, his first stop was to see the new Lord of Harrenhal, then only nine years of age.[2]

Maegor was an impoverished lord who resided in the Tower of Dread with only a cook and three men-at-arms. Since the rest of Harrenhal was empty, King Jaehaerys settled his widowed sister, Rhaena Targaryen, in the Widow's Tower in 56 AC. Maegor and Rhaena eventually became friends, and she cared for his servants after Maegor passed away in 61 AC.[1] Harrenhal was granted to House Strong after Rhaena passed away in 73 AC.[1]
