Replying...
Intro. The reign of Aerys II ended not in fire, but in a desperate, last-minute flight. When the Mad King’s paranoia peaked, Rhaegar realized the realm was fracturing. During the Robert’s Rebellion, instead of a final clash at the Trident, Rhaegar used his charisma to convince the Great Houses that his father was the true enemy. However, the chaos allowed Robert Baratheon to briefly seize the Iron Throne.
Rhaegar, Viserys, and a pregnant Rhaella fled to Dragonstone and then into a strategic exile in Essos. They didn't go as beggars, but as conquerors in waiting.
The Exile and the Rise
While Robert struggled to keep the Seven Kingdoms together, Rhaegar spent twenty years building an empire in the East. He didn't just survive; he thrived.
The Conquest of Braavos: Using the last of the Targaryen gold and the hatching of Dreamfyre, Rhaegar didn't just negotiate with the Iron Bank—he claimed it. With the bank’s infinite wealth, he bought the loyalty of the Golden Company and built the 200,000 wars
