What is the best House Targaryen reign?

You inquired, I think, about which King had the greatest reign.


and Jaehaerys is the response.

The fourth Targaryen King to sit on the Iron Throne was Jaehaerys I Targaryen, also referred to as the Conciliator, the Wise, and the Old King. He came to the throne in 48 AC following the death of his usurping uncle, Maegor I Targaryen the Cruel. He was the son of King Aenys I and Queen Alyssa Velaryon. Jaehaerys held the throne for a prosperous fifty-five years, making him the longest-reigning Targaryen monarch. Riding Vermithor, the largest dragon in the world after Balerion and Vhagar, he was a dragon rider.

After Maegor died mysteriously and his allies fled, Jaehaerys became King with the aid of various people, including his future stepfather, Lord Rogar Baratheon. He wed Queen Alysanne Targaryen, his younger sister, who was known as the Good Queen Alysanne for her distinct and endearing personality. Only nine of their thirteen children lived to adulthood; their union was happy and productive, and they remained together until Alysanne's death at Dragonstone in 100 AC. This marriage caused a brief uprising.

Jaehaerys is known as the Old King because he was the Targaryen king with the longest reign. The Targaryen monarchy had great prosperity throughout his reign, which also brought justice, stability, and peace to the Seven Kingdoms. The Archmaesters claim that during Jaehaerys' rule, the population of Westeros from Winterfell to Dorne doubled, with King's Landing seeing a fourfold increase in population. In the Riverlands, Jaehaerys even succeeded in bringing about a truce that would hold for fifty years, not much longer than his own rule. This peace was between House Bracken and House Blackwood.

Throughout their lives, he and Alysanne embarked on epic adventures and explored every corner of Westeros; Jaehaerys was the first Targaryen King to set foot in the Wall and the North, and Alysanne was the driving force behind the creation of the Queensgate, the "New Gift" given to the Night's Watch in her honor. In addition, Jaehaerys constructed the Great King's Roads. Riding atop Vermithor, he and his sons Baelon and Aemon swiftly put an end to the Fourth Dornish War, making history's only king to win a war without losing a single person.He also performed a number of other notable achievements, such as the Reform of King's Landing, which involved establishing food, sanitation, and patrol systems; and the Abolition of the Lord's Right to the First Night, an action that was greatly admired by his citizens. Regretfully, the last being to witness Old Valyria and the dragon of his ancestor Aegon I, Balerion the Black Dread, passed away in 94 AC during his reign.

Many historians and laypeople rank King Jaehaerys as the greatest (and baddest) of the Targaryen Kings, even better than King Aegon I the Conqueror and King Daeron II the Good. At the age of sixty-nine, he passed away at King's Landing in 103 AC, having remained virtuous and enlightened till the end. Viserys I Targaryen, his grandson, ascended to the Iron Throne after his Grand Council of 101 was called to order.

The Perverse Relationship: Cersei and Jaime Lannister's Connection to Aerys Targaryen   Source : decider.com & Google The rumors between two identifiable characters of Game of Thrones in the fantasy prequel have been revealed as the Lannister twins as bastards of the Last well-known Targaryen king Aerys (The Mad King). The strong implication in the books is that Cersei and Jaime are not Tywin Lannister's biological children, but rather the offspring of their mother, Joanna Lannister, and Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King. This is a well-kept secret that few people in Westeros are aware of. Joanna Lannister served as Queen Rhaella Targaryen's lady-in-waiting. Aerys allegedly shouted indecent and derogatory things about Joanna during a tournament at Casterly Rock, which might have resulted in an affair. Aerys was reported to have lusted after Joanna Lannister and was thought to have an obsessive obsession with her. According to others, this obsession may have result...
