This conflict became known as the War of the Ninepenny Kings.

The Band was attacked and destroyed by a Westerosi army, and Maelys was slain in combat by a young knight named Ser Barristan Selmy. The Band based themselves on the Stepstones in preperation for an invasion of Westeros, unaware that King Aegon V had already learned of their plans. Maelys made alliance with the Band of Nine, a group of eastern nobles seeking to help one another achieve what they could not do by themselves. It was said he had consumed his own twin in the womb, for he had a second, malformed head growing out of his shoulder. The last of the Blackfyre Pretenders was Maelys the Monstrous, so-named as he was misshapen and disturbing to look upon. Four times after the Redgrass Field, the Blackfyres attempted to prosecute a claim to the throne, thrice aided by Bittersteel and the Golden Company, each time being defeated or driven off. Their uncle, Bittersteel, founded a mercenary company known as the Golden Company, which supported their claim to the Iron Throne.

House Blackfyre continued through Daemon's five younger sons, who lived in exile in the Free Cities. House Blackfyre was outlawed and its lands confiscated by order of King Daeron II. Bittersteel, who had sided with Daemon, managed to escape the field with Daemon's younger sons. Great knights and armies flocked to both banners and the First Blackfyre Rebellion was the result, more than a year of fire and fury that ended in the Battle of Redgrass Field, where Daemon Blackfyre and his two eldest sons, Aegon and Aemon, were slain by his half-brother Bloodraven, who had sided with Daeron. In 195 AL Daemon Blackfyre claimed the Iron Throne in his own right, splintering the realm almost in half. However, the final straw seems to have been the presentation of evidence that Daeron II was actually the result of an illegitimate union between his mother Naerys and uncle Aemon, and was thus not the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. Daemon was also concerned, as many in the realm were, with the prevalent 'Dornish flavour' of the court in King's Landing, and felt that the Dornish had far too much influence over the king. Daemon was said to be in love with Daenerys and wished to marry her himself. He was already married to Princess Myriah Martell and announced a major coup when Prince Moran Martell of Dorne agreed to marry his sister Daenerys.ДЄ number of factors contributed to the falling out of Daemon and Daeron. His half-brother Daeron was less attractive and had a tendency towards fat, but he was also a peacemaker and a diplomat of tremendous skill, keeping the realm out of war, solving internal divisions and establishing closer ties with Dorne.

He was honourable and the soul of chivalry. Daemon was a skilled and brave warrior, fearless in battle, highly charasmatic and attractive to women. Over the next decade the realm began to splinter between the two men. Daemon took the house name 'Blackfyre' and wore the colours of House Targaryen reversed. Aegon IV died before he could make this happen, but he did legitimise all four of his 'great bastards' (those born by noble blood) on his deathbed. Towards the end of his life in 184 AL, it appears that Aegon IV may have been considering making Daemon his heir, although this would have been highly legally problematic. After this, he seemed to favour the martial, skilled warrior Daemon and disdained his legitimate eldest son, Daeron.

Shockingly, he gave Daemon his sword, the Valyrian steel blade Blackfyre. Her son Daemon became a skilled and canny fighter whilst still a boy, and at the age of twelve King Aegon IV acknowledged Daemon as his own. For this, she became known as Daena the Defiant. Despite this isolation, she fell pregnant and refused to divulge the identity of the father. She was locked with her sisters in the Maidenvault in the Red Keep so the sight of them would not tempt Baelor to carnal thoughts.

King Aegon IV Targaryen was infamous for siring many bastards, the most famous of whom were the Great Bastards: Daemon Waters, Aegor Rivers (known as Bittersteel), Brynden Rivers (known as Bloodraven) and Shiera Seastar.Дaemon was the eldest and took primacy as he was the son of Aegon by his cousin Daena Targaryen, the sister and briefly wife of King Baelor I Targaryen.
