History
Daeron was sent to serve as a cupbearer and squire at the age of twelve to Lord Ormund Hightower in Oldtown.[2][1]
Daeron saved the flanked Lord Hightower at the Battle on the Honeywine during the Dance of the Dragons. As a reward Daeron was knighted and dubbed Ser Daeron the Daring.[2]
Daeron died during the Second Battle of Tumbleton.[2] Because his death had occured during such an chaotic event, and his body had never been identified, in the years that followed, multiple people would claim to be Daeron. They were all conclusively proven to be imposters, however.[3]
Legacy
As Daeron's body was never identified, several pretenders claiming to be the prince rose during the reign of Aegon III Targaryen. According to Maester Yandel it has been conclusively proven that these were imposters.[3]
