'''Daeron II Targaryen''', called '''Daeron the Good''', was a king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] who achieved through diplomacy and marriage what generations of his forebears had failed to win by the sword: the peaceful union of [[Dorne]] with the realm.<br />
<br />
== The Union with Dorne ==<br />
Daeron brought Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms at last, not by conquest but by a double marriage. He himself wed the Dornish princess Myriah Martell, and his sister Daenerys married the Prince of Dorne. By this union, Dorne entered the realm with its laws and customs preserved, completing the work that even dragons had failed to accomplish.<br />
<br />
== A Scholarly King ==<br />
Daeron was a bookish and just ruler, more given to learning and statecraft than to war. He filled his court with scholars and maesters and governed wisely. Yet his accommodations to Dorne and the elevation of Dornishmen at court bred resentment among some of the great lords of the realm.<br />
<br />
== The Blackfyre Rebellion ==<br />
That resentment, together with rumors questioning Daeron's parentage, was exploited by his bastard half-brother Daemon Blackfyre, who rose in revolt to claim the throne. The first Blackfyre Rebellion was crushed at the Battle of Redgrass Field, but the Blackfyre pretenders would trouble Daeron's descendants for generations.<br />
