[Opinions] Re: All 56 named Targaryen's, which do you like? which do you hate?
You are mentioning all of the ones that stood out to me as well, and I agree. I prefer Tolkien’s inventions. Aenys… yeah. I’d be interested to know about that character’s role.

I'd pronounce Aenys as "ay-NEES" since Rhaenys has been pronounced "ray-NEES" in the shows. Though Aerys was more like "EH-ris" so who knows.He's the 2nd Targaryen king. His father was called The Conqueror and his younger brother was called The Cruel. He was an affable guy supposedly but known as a weak king. He had a short reign, died from stress induced cramps and loose bowels (although a LOT of Targaryens died from random things like that, so there's a fan theory that the Maesters were assassinating them, as part of a bigger conspiracy to eliminate magic; the Maesters had the monopoly on medical care for Westerosi nobility fyi). Maybe it is supposed to bring to mind incontinence...
