THE YOUNG KING Artwork by Kieran Yanner
“Jaehaerys, the First of His Name, ascended the throne in 48 AC, at the age of fourteen, and would hold it for fifty-five years—the longest reign of any Targaryen king. He would win the name “the Old King” for his long rule, though there were some questions, early on, as to whether he should sit the Iron Throne at all.”
