In this episode, we explore the fascinating reign of Daeron I, known as the Young Dragon. Ascending to the throne at just 14 years old after the death of his father, Aegon III, Daeron embarked on a bold campaign to conquer Dorne.

Daeron's ambitious goal is inspired by historical figures like Alexander the Great. Daeron faces challenges including fierce resistance and assassination attempts. Despite his short reign, Daeron left a lasting impact on the Targaryen dynasty and Westerosi history.
