  1. Maegor the Wise was the rightful and true heir of Aegon I the Conqueror, by Valyrian law the elder sister comes first and Aegon had to marry Visenya to inherit from their father, Lord Aerion. Rhaenys was his second wife, the woman on the side, and Visenya the true queen. But I fully believe Aenys and Maegor loved each other as brothers, the problem between them was Alyssa Velaryon because she knew Maegor was the rightful heir and she hated her brother-in-law for that fact. Alyssa would pass down her malice for Maegor to her and Aenys' sons to prevent them from forming any positive relationship.

    Skipping a bit here. Aegon the Unthinking fool should have united with Maegor to crush the rebellious Faith Militant. His sister Rhaena told him not to fight their uncle, Maegor had just saved their entire family by rallying a Targaryen loyalist army to stand against the Faith Militant. So much could have turned out for the better, Prince Aegon would have been his uncle's heir rather than his infant daughter Aerea, Quicksilver would survive (at least until the Dance), Rhaena wouldn't become a black bride, thus Alyssa Velaryon would have no good reason to further divide the Houses Targaryen, Velaryon and Baratheon by starting another rebellion behind her 11 year old son Jaehaerys (abandoning the older Prince Viserys altogether. TWICE.) with Lord Rogar Baratheon.

    With Maegor no Targaryen child would be given over as a hostage to Oldtown, Rhaella wouldn't have been given to the faith, and Aerea wouldn't have met the horrible fate she had under the rule of Jaehaerys.

  2. Aegon could have multiple wives but Visenya was technically his queen. Maegor should have been heir, he probably would have fathered no children so his brother would have inherited, then Aegon, his son, and so on. So everything would have still technically stayed the same but maybe dance of dragons wouldn't have happened because Maegor ruling longer would have brought more stability to the realm. There would have been no faith uprising because they wouldn't have done $hit about Aegon marrying his sister with Maegor holding the throne lol
