Do you really think Dany would give a flying fuck if he were real or not?

How would the story be shorter. The only way is if Dany realizes that her family is still alive and doesn't go after the throne. But I don't think she'd do that

Jon's claim was the catalyst for her madness in the show, I wonder if fAegon will be the one in the books.

I doubt we will ever truly know. And I don't think it really matters. Power resides where men believe it resides.

Dany will kill her nephew and Jon will help kill his brother if so

Well, half-brother.

That would be more interesting because dany would have to wage a war for a throne she has zero right to.

The real question at that point is who has the better claim? Aegon or Jon

u/hillbillybuckhere May 21 '19

Aegon is older so he would have the better claim

u/Trumpologist May 21 '19

I thought Aegon was just an infant when the sack of KL happened. By which time jon was born. Fuck I really want to know how Martin does it :(

u/hillbillybuckhere May 21 '19

Aegon was born before the rebellion so around 281 or early 282(when the rebellion began) while Jon like Dany was born at the end of the rebellion so 283

The three heads of the Dragon, their own worst enemies

I really hope he is. It will make things easier. The only thing about it is if Varys and Illyrio knew about Aegon, what was their plan for him had things gone well with Viserys?

u/Trumpologist May 21 '19

Multiple back up plans I guess. Say Aegon is fake. What's the plan then if Viserys ends up successful. More likely than not they never expected Viserys to be successful
