Maekar I Targaryen

APPEARANCE AND PERSONAL QUALITIES

In The Hedge Knight, Prince Meikar is described as "thick-set, powerfully built" with a silver beard that "could not completely cover the pockmarks on his face." His rich but simple clothes are noted — "a leather shell with silver rivets under a heavy black cloak lined with ermine." After becoming king, he acquired a tired look, but remained as strong He wore a crown of black iron and red gold, decorated with pointy points. This crown was made because the crowns of Aegon the Unworthy, Aegon III and Einis Meikar considered unsuitable for himself, and the crown of Aegon the Conqueror, which the new king considered suitable for himself, was lost Meikar's harsh and touchy disposition is known. So, he promises to kill his eldest son if he does not improve. Apparently, this is why his second son is a model of chivalry with his father, despite the fact that Meikar already demonstrates amazing gentleness in relation to his sons. Prince Meikar was disliked by the people and among the nobles. Raymun Fossoway expresses sympathy for him (not to his face, of course), and Lionel Baratheon names the opportunity to smash the prince's nose among the reasons why he agrees to help Duncan during the events of the Hedge Knight. For the same reason, few knights supported Prince Meikar at the Trial of the Seven

biography

After the suppression of the Blackfire Rebellion, the elder and younger princes, Baylor and Makar, were spoken of as a hammer and anvil. His residence was the Summer Castle, which he took possession of from his father. After the death of his older brothers, he became king in 221 AD and ruled for twelve years until 233 AD. The Ashford Tournament In the midst of the Ashford tournament, Prince Meikar leaves the celebration, not entrusting the search for his sons, drunkards Deiron and little Aegon, to the knights of the Royal Guard. The found Dayron, defending himself, says that Dunk kidnapped Aegon, and upon returning to Ashford it turns out that the second son, Aerion, was beaten by Duncan (who defended the puppeteers). Prince Aerion made it look like the puppeteers were inciting a rebellion, and in order to vent his anger, Prince Meikar chose Dunk as the target. At the trial, he insisted that his arm and leg be cut off, with which he dared to touch Aerion. Direct and guileless[P 4] Prince Meikar was surprised when Aerion demanded a Trial of Seven, rather than a one-on-one duel, but agreed with his son's arguments that Deiron should also be given the opportunity to wash away his resentment. Anyway, Prince Meikar demanded that three knights of the Royal Guard march against Dunk and his six knights. — People, of course, will say that I killed my brother intentionally. The gods see that this is a lie, but gossip will haunt me until my dying hour. And I have no doubt that it was my club that dealt him the fatal blow. Besides me, he only fought with the royal knights, and their oath only allows them to defend themselves. So it was me. Strangely, I don't even remember the blow that cracked his skull. Is it a mercy or a curse? It must be both. Meikar Targaryen in conversation with Duncan, "Hedge Knight"
