King Maegor I Targaryen, infamously dubbed Maegor the Cruel, was the third king of the Targaryen dynasty to sit on the Iron Throne. As his moniker suggests, he is known as one of the most tyrannical kings to ever rule the Seven Kingdoms.

He was not the worst king. That honor goes to aegon the fifth
He is not the worst king, he saved his density from the faith that was planning to take the crown from the targaryans, yes he was an evil and cruel figure but if he wasn't him the targaryans will be gone🖤❤
This guy only likes videos that encourages him. But when you hold him accountable, he totally ignores it
Based King.
Magor the wise 😅
Maegor did nothing wrong, stop the slander
Real ones know Maegor saved the Targaryen dynasty, and much of his 'cruel' legacy was written under Jaehaerys to emphasize him as the Conciliator
Aegon 4.0 was right there with Maegor. And without Maegor's aggressiveness the dynasty wouldn't have gone past 2 kings.
Whom ever the Hightowers Septons and Masters hate, I love more especially King Maegor the Great.
Maegor the cool!
Him and Aegon the unworthy tied for most vile. the mad king right after. The things he did to his own family…..he was a better ruler than Aegon. The real and only good he did was destroying the church. Literally the one thing. He killed off so many of his family. He was THE kin slayer 😂 him and his momma
The title of the video is propaganda, I tell you. Maegor could never be accused of being kind, but his strength was needed for saving the Targaryen dynasty.
I disagree he was the most under respected king. If it wasn't for him the measters and the faith would of killed the targeryans
It's so jarring when you mispronounce Vhaegar as Vaggar
Maegor did nothing wrong
Maegor isn’t bad , he’s a dynasty saver and great warrior to regain Targaryen dynasty to glory, if I in that world , I will definitely serve Margor and destroy that High Septon piggy bastard
Maegor did nothing wrong
So did he receive the from the king or did he get the sword from the fire pit an give it back to the king so he could just hand it back to him again ???
I dont agree!!!!
When you're entire reign is characterized by extreme unrest and civil war, you're assassinated and everyone pretends it was an accident and you're successor spends 50 years repairing your damage, you are probably a pretty bad king.
They call him cruel because he didn't put up with their disrespect. Westros lords are very underminding. I guess the newly dragon riding, un battle tested boy was supposed to become king. So that he can be manipulated by the high counsel huh. Would have made it real sweet for the faith and the lords.
