The Idiotic Reign of Aegon the Unworthy

He has stiff competition, but Aegon IV may be the most unworthy king in Targaryen history. From potentially committing regicide and patricide to take the Iron Throne, to taking advantage of his sister Naerys and brother Aemon the Dragonknight, to creating the everlasting problem of Daemon Blackfyre & the Blackfyre Rebellions, Aegon the Unworthy was truly terrible. Reigning decades after House of the Dragon, his cruelty was different than the violence of Maegor the Cruel or the wildfire-crazed Aerys the Mad King. Of all the kings throughout ASOIAF, where does the fourth Aegon Targaryen rank all time?
