How Maegor the Cruel Brought Terror to Westeros

Aegon the Conqueror ruled Westeros from 2 BC until 37 AC, and fathered two sons. They were Aenys and Maegor, the Sons of the Dragon. Aenys I Targaryed reigned five pathetic years from 37-42, at which point his brother Maegor usurped the Iron Throne after Aenys's death. Over his six year reign from 42-48 AC, he became known as Maegor the Cruel, a violent and cursed king. This video tells the story of Maegor's life and his terror, and discusses whether he was mad like King Aerys II, or just evil.
