Maegor was eventually found dead on the Iron Throne. When the realm began to unite against Maegor the Cruel, Queen Rhaena Targaryen stole the sword from the sleeping Maegor at the Red Keep for Aenys's surviving son, Prince Jaehaerys, who had announced his own claim at Storm's End. After Tyanna confessed to poisoning the children of Maegor's other queens, the king used Blackfyre to cut out her heart and feed it to his dogs. In Oldtown, seven prominent Warrior's Sons who refused to join the Night's Watch were beheaded by Maegor with Blackfyre. Maegor later used Blackfyre to kill Myros when the Grand Maester spoke out against Maegor marrying Tyanna of Pentos. Maegor wielded Blackfyre during his trial of seven against the Warrior's Sons, with the new king slaying Ser Damon Morrigen and Ser Willam the Wanderer. When Grand Maester Gawen insisted that the Iron Throne should pass to Aenys's son, Prince Aegon, Maegor beheaded Gawen with Blackfyre. Maegor flew to Dragonstone to claim the crown after Aenys died in 42 AC. When Maegor refused to put aside his second wife, Alys Harroway, the polygamous prince chose exile in Pentos and refused Aenys's request to leave Blackfyre behind. Maegor henceforth only wielded Blackfyre and kept his previous Valyrian steel sword, Dark Sister, at Dragonstone. Aenys and MaegorĪegon the Conqueror was succeeded by King Aenys I Targaryen, but the new king granted Blackfyre to his more martial younger brother, Prince Maegor Targaryen. Prince Maegor then retrieved Blackfyre, which had been made darker in color by the flames but was otherwise unharmed. Īfter Aegon died at Dragonstone in 37 AC, the king's body was burned in a funeral pyre with his hands folded over the hilt of Blackfyre. Aegon bestowed knighthood on his younger son, Maegor Targaryen, during a tourney at Riverrun in 28 AC, dubbing the prince with Blackfyre.
Īegon had his elder son, Aenys Targaryen, handle Blackfyre from time to time, but the prince was no more than an adequate swordsman. Aegon was convinced to allow the formation of the Kingsguard in 10 AC.
Įven though Aegon the Conqueror was a great warrior with Blackfyre, his sister, Queen Visenya Targaryen, feared the blade was not enough to protect the new king from danger. During the First Dornish War, Aegon killed the champion of House Toland with Blackfyre, not knowing it was actually the fool of Ghost Hill. In the aftermath of Aegon's Conquest, King Aegon I Targaryen used Blackfyre to kill Qhorin Volmark during the invasion of the Iron Islands.
