Aegon’s conquest, also known as the Conquest, was the campaign in which Aegon I. Targaryen conquered most of Westeros. Together with his sisters and their dragons, Aegon subdued six of the Seven Kingdoms, only resisted by Dorne.








2 BC–1 AC: the Conquest, was the campaign in which Aegon I Targaryen and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys conquered most of Westeros.

The more I read fire and blood more I hate Visenya.
Before starting this book I really hoping to like her, but she's fucking awful with everyone, and to be honest she isn't what everyone says she is which makes me frustrated bc I was thinking that she was some kind of largetha but she's not.
I understand part of the hype, but I still don't know why people hate rhaenys for being a conquer if visenya is as much as she is, and she's not only a conqueror but probably a kinslayer too.
Visenya is that type of person who lived enough to become a villain, and what a dumb villain. Ok, she was smart when she spred to everyone in Westeros that Aenys was weak, but there are so many decisions that she made based only on what she knows about war. I was considering that maybe she understood propaganda just like rhaenys did, but I won't consider rumors a propaganda here, mainly bc she thought that fierce was the only way to get what she wanted and bc she didn't understand the smallfoks and the power that faith has.
She also supported Maegor, and I know that she was dead when he r*pe* his wives, but he was a weirdo even as a child and bc of him the house targeryen almost disappeared, so I'll consider here that she was a fucking old bitch who just wanted her blood on the throne.
Everyone reads her as some type of hero, but she's far from it. For me, she looks like some kind of megalomaniac who could do anything to get what she wanted.
And just to make one more thing clear, even catelyn stark killed an assassin, and she didn't have any training.
