Books

Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen was the son of Aegon II Targaryen and his sister-wife Queen Helaena Targaryen. He was King Aegon's firstborn son and heir, next in line to the Iron Throne. He had a twin sister, Princess Jaehaera Targaryen, and a younger brother Prince Maelor Targaryen. [1] The dragon Shrykos was bound to Jaehaerys.

Appearance & Character

Jaehaerys was larger and healthier than his twin, but he was also born with six fingers on his left hand, and six toes on each foot.[2]

History

As the civil war began, Jaehaerys and his twin were six years old. After the death of Lucerys Velaryon, Prince Daemon Targaryen declared vengeance, writing that there would be “an eye for an eye, a son for a son”.

Sometime thereafter two men, remembered as Blood and Cheese, snuck into Queen Alicent's chambers located in the Tower of the Hand. As was her custom, Queen Helaena took her three children to visit their grandmother at dusk, before they went to bed.

Once Queen Helaena entered the chambers with her three young children, Blood barred the door and slew the queen’s guardsman whilst Cheese appeared and snatched up Maelor. Cheese told Queen Helaena that they were two "debt collectors". They told the queen “an eye for an eye, a son for a son” and asked her which one of her sons she wanted killed. The queen offered herself but the two killers refused, telling he that it had to be a son, a boy.

As the queen prevaricated, Cheese warned her to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped Princess Jaehaera. On her knees weeping, Helaena named her youngest child two-year-old Maelor. Blood gave a grin and slew Prince Jaehaerys instead, striking off the boy's head with a single blow from his sword.

After killing the young prince, Blood and Cheese did no further harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children and fled with the prince's head in hand.
