Our mother loved our uncle Aemon but she married father because it was what the family required of her. She was unhappy and made to suffer but she did her part for the family. I don't think I'll be nearly as unhappy in Dorne. Command me and I'll do my part to unite the Seven Kingdoms.

* HateSink: Aegon Targaryen, later [[AdiposeRex King Aegon IV "The Unworthy"]], was a man ruled only by his insatiable appetites. Marrying his sister Naerys on their father Viserys' orders, Aegon attempted to force their brother [[KnightInShiningArmor Aemon]], who loved Naerys, to participate in the bedding ceremony; Naerys' cries nearly prompted Aemon to draw his sword on Aegon in his anger before being talked down by their uncle King Aegon III. Many would agree that [[KickTheDog Aegon's actions were a very low blow]]. Throughout their marriage, [[BigBrotherBully Aegon routinely humiliated Naerys]] by parading his mistresses in front of her and [[MaritalRapeLicense raped her almost every night despite her protestations and ill health]]. After Aegon became King many years later, he hired a man named Ser Morgil Hastwyck to spread rumors that Naerys and Aemon were having an affair, leaving Ser Morgil to die when Aemon challenged and killed him. Aemon is killed by two men trying to avenge their brother's death at King Aegon's hands, but Aegon showed no respect for his brother's loss and only agreed to a funeral because of public outcry; this is when the epitaph "the Unworthy" is attached to Aegon. Naerys' friend Lyssa showed up at the capital to pay her respects, only to leave when Aegon showed sexual interest in her barely pubescent daughter. Naerys reveals that the night after Aemon won a tournament and honored Naerys, Aegon raped her that night [[EvilIsPetty just to make her feel bad]].
