Daemon Blackfyre, a cousin to Maelys I, of unknown exact descent.Two other sons and at least one daughter.Calla Blackfyre, his daughter, promised in marriage to Ser Aegor Rivers before the First Blackfyre Rebellion.Daemon III Blackfyre, Haegon's eldest son, who led the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion.He led the brief Second Blackfyre Rebellion. A squire to his father and twin to Aegon. Daemon I Blackfyre, born as Daemon Waters, founder of House Blackfyre.What happened to the female line is currently not known. Īccording to Illyrio Mopatis, the Blackfyres were extinguished in the male line when Maelys was slain. Maelys the Monstrous was killed in single combat by Ser Barristan Selmy, who cut a bloody path though the Golden Company's ranks to get to Maelys. King Jaehaerys II sent an army that defeated the rebels. The last attack of the Blackfyres occurred when Maelys I Blackfyre, head of the Golden Company, joined forces with a number of ambitious men and eventually invaded the Stepstones in 260 AC as a base for a future invasion of the Seven Kingdoms. Before the year was over, Bittersteel returned to Tyrosh and crowned Haegon's eldest son as Daemon III Blackfyre.
The Golden Company learned of this through their informants, however, and attacked the prisoner transport as it sailed to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. While Aerion Brightflame and Bloodraven both urged that Bittersteel be executed, King Aerys offered Aegor mercy, sending him north to join the Night's Watch. Bittersteel was taken captive and led in chains to the Red Keep. At the end of the final battle, Haegon was dishonorably killed after he surrendered and had given up his sword. The war featured the second duel between Bittersteel and Bloodraven.
Prince Aerion Targaryen was also active in its events. The leadership of his younger brother, Prince Maekar Targaryen, during the conflict was commendable, as was the courage of Maekar's youngest son, Prince Aegon Targaryen. It was late in the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen, who was not very involved in ruling. In 219 AC, Bittersteel launched a new invasion after crowning Haegon I Blackfyre. When Aegor saw all the exiled lords and knights signing on with other sellsword companies, and saw the support of House Blackfyre ebbing away, he created his own sellsword company, the Golden Company.

ĭaemon's remaining sons fled to the Free Cities of Essos with his principal supporter, Aegor Rivers, known as Bittersteel, another Great Bastard of King Aegon IV. While protecting his fallen foes, however, Daemon and his two eldest sons, Aemon and Aegon Blackfyre, were slain by his Great Bastard half-brother, Brynden Rivers, known as Bloodraven, and the Raven's Teeth. Daemon broke Lord Arryn's van in the battle, slaying Wyl Waynwood and the Knight of Ninestars and severely injuring Ser Gwayne Corbray of the Kingsguard. Ultimately the Blackfyre Rebellion failed in the Battle of the Redgrass Field. Daemon also struck his own coinage during the war. Since many bastards reversed their family's colors, the banners of Daemon's rebels depicted a black three-headed dragon on a red field instead of House Targaryen's red dragon on a black field. In 196 AC Daemon and his friends and allies revolted against Daeron II Targaryen, his half-brother, using the old rumor that Daeron was the son of Aemon the Dragonknight instead of King Aegon IV Targaryen and that the gift of the ancestral weapon Blackfyre proved that Aegon wanted Daemon to succeed him. The young knight wed Rohanne of Tyrosh when he was fourteen, and Daemon was granted a tract of land along the Blackwater Rush and the right to build a keep there by his half-brother, King Daeron II Targaryen. When Aegon IV was on his deathbed, the king legitimized his bastard children, including Daemon Blackfyre. Daemon subsequently took the name Blackfyre for himself. According to Ser Eustace Osgrey, Blackfyre had been wielded by every king from House Targaryen since the Conquest. When Daemon won a squires' tourney at the age of twelve, Aegon granted him knighthood and surprisingly gave him Blackfyre, one of the ancestral Valyrian steel swords of House Targaryen. Daemon Waters was a bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen.
