Regal likes to often take his harp to the ruins of the Summer Palace. When he came back, the songs he sang were so beautiful that women cried. Although regal was superior in martial arts, his most impressive talent was music. Although regal is quiet, reserved and even a little bookish, this does not prevent him from being admired and loved by the people of the seven countries. Cersei lannister once mentioned that in 276 AD, at the Port Lannister Championship held to celebrate the birth of Prince Viserys Targaryen, the general public cheered Duke tywin lannister as twice as much as King Iriz II, but only half as much as Regal. Balistan Selmi, who had served three kings, recalled regal and thought that he would be better than all three kings combined.
When regal was born, the blood of the Targaryen family had already begun to weaken. Queen Laila miscarried three times in the following 17 years. Two of the five children were stillborn and three died within one year. Because the Targaryen family insisted on the tradition of consanguineous marriage between brother and sister, regal could not get married as an adult. Therefore, Iriz II appointed his cousin, Duke Stephen Baratheon, to go to sea to find a woman of Varelia descent for regal's blind date in the free city of Elso, but Duke Steven failed to find a suitable candidate and sank and died on the way back. In 276 AD, Duke tywin lannister, the hand of the king at that time, proposed to betrothed his daughter cersei lannister, aged 10, to Rehgar, aged 17, but Iriz II, who had been jealous of Wen Tai for a long time, thought that his successor married a "servant's daughter" beneath his dignity. After that, the rich man obeyed her father's orders and married Princess Elia Martell. For the rich, this marriage is not passionate, but the husband and wife respect each other as guests, and they have a daughter and a son-Rhaenys Targaryen (born in 280 AD) and Aegon Tangeryen (born in 282 AD). However, Princess Ilya has always been sickly. After giving birth to Princess Raine, she fell ill and stayed in bed for half a year. She almost died when she gave birth to Prince Egon. The bachelor in charge of treatment once advised Rega that Ilya was not fit to have any more children.
After getting married, the rich man moved to Longshi Island. When he showed his daughter to his parents, her mother, Queen Leila, embraced the child warmly, while her father, King Iriz, refused to touch the "Donne flavor" child. When Regal was a teenager, he found something that changed his life while looking through old books. No one really knows what he read, but aemon targaryen (the great-uncle of the rich, who often wrote letters to crows) mentioned that the rich believed that his son Egon would become the legendary savior-the promised prince.
In short, the young Regal suddenly came to the arena one morning, and under the surprised eyes of all the knights, he said to Sir William Derry, the coach of the Red Fort, "Give me a long sword and armor. It seems that I must become a soldier. " /kloc-At the age of 0/7, Rehgar was promoted to knight. By this time, he was already a skilled soldier. Although he doesn't often participate in various tournaments, he always performs well. He never liked the sound of swords like robert baratheon or jaime lannister. On the contrary, people say that Rehgar loves harps more than spears.
After regal became a knight, his attendants were Miles Morton and ricard Langmouth, both of whom were knighted by regal himself and later became close friends. Lord Jon Cornington of Jiuchao Castle is also a good friend of the rich, but the closest and longest friend of the rich is Sir arthur dayne, the "Excalibur of Dawn".
However, as Iriz II's madness intensified, Prince regal, who is both civil and military, became the new hope of the kingdom in everyone's heart, and rumors about regal's behavior of abandoning his father and intending to overthrow him began to rise. During the Twilight Rebellion, Count Dennis Duckling publicly refused to pay taxes, detained Iriz II, who personally came to urge taxes, and claimed that if King's Landing dared to act rashly, he would murder the king. Some people were so timid at the command meeting, and then it was said that the hardline Prime Minister tywin lannister pointed to regal on the spot and said: We have a better king here. On a wrong spring in 28 1AC, Lord Walter Winter, then Lord of Hellenborg, proposed to hold a tournament in his fief shortly after visiting his brother Sir Oswell Winter, the Kingsguard. Because the prize money he gave was three times that of the Lannister Port Tournament Conference in 276 BC, many people thought that the purpose of holding the conference was to show the wealth and glory of the He 'an family, so as to deliberately compete with the Lannister family. The Hellenborg Championship is the biggest tournament in Westeros history, lasting for ten days. The main aristocratic families of the seven kingdoms participated, and members of the royal family, including King Iriz II and Prince Regal, also participated. And since the Twilight Valley rebellion, Iriz, who has always been suspicious and unwilling to step out of the palace, appeared at the tournament for the first time, because Varis, the chief intelligence officer, told him that Rehgar planned to meet the local lords at the tournament and secretly discussed the plan to oust himself from the throne and change the dynasty.
At the opening of the conference, Iriz II suddenly announced that jaime lannister, the only eldest son of the Duke of tywin lannister, the Prime Minister, would be incorporated into the Kingsguard. A man wearing a white robe of iron guards means that he has to defend the king all his life and must give up the right of marriage inheritance. In doing so, Iriz deprived the sole heir of Wen Tai's family business (Tyrion Lannister, another son of Wen Tai, has been rejected and hated by Wen Tai because he is a dwarf), and the second was to keep Zhan Mu around and take him hostage at any time. Duke Tywin, who had been at odds with Iriz, resigned as prime minister in a rage and returned to his fief, Casterly Rock, but other members of his family stayed to attend the tournament. At the dinner after the first day of the conference, regal, who is famous for her musical skills, once played a beautiful piano piece, which moved some women present to tears.
In addition, there are two historic events in the tournament in Hellenborg. First, the afternoon after the championship, a short and unknown knight appeared on the court. Originally, it was not unusual for a mysterious knight who didn't want to reveal his identity at the tournament (usually because he was afraid of losing face due to poor performance), but this knight wore completely ill-fitting armor and held a shield painted with a smiling face of weirwood. No one can guess his origin, but he can only be called "Laughing Tree Knight" according to the badge on the shield. After the Knights of Laughing Tree appeared, they deliberately challenged the players of Braun family, Hay family and Frey family in the king's territory and defeated them one by one. When the three defeated knights asked the smiling tree knight to redeem his armor and horses according to the rules, the smiling tree knight shouted through his helmet, "Teach your attendants to know honor and treat it as a ransom." The three knights immediately went back and severely punished their followers. Because none of the three knights were welcome, the onlookers cheered warmly for the smiling tree knight. However, paranoid Iriz II firmly believed that the smiling tree knight was his enemy, because there was a precedent in history that a ranger who betrayed the royal family pretended to be a mysterious knight to buy people's hearts (for example, Simon Toyne, the leader of the Kingsguard Brotherhood), and Robert Baratheon and ricard Lomos also threatened to defeat the smiling tree knight and expose his identity. However, on the third morning, the smiling tree knight disappeared without a trace. Iriz II was furious and ordered Regal to pursue him. Regal came back and reported that he didn't catch up with the mysterious knight, only found the smiling face tree shield that was abandoned and hung on the branch.
The second incident happened at the end of the tournament. In the remaining days of the competition, Riggs was unstoppable, defeating a series of famous seed players such as "Bronze" Jon Royce, "Wolf" Brandon Stark, "Excalibur of Dawn" arthur dayne and "Fearless" Barristan Selmi, and then winning the spear competition. Traditionally, the champion of the tournament has the right to crown his favorite lady as "the king of love and beauty" and put a crown made of flowers on her. However, after regal went around as a champion for a week, he unexpectedly bypassed his wife, Princess Ilya, and put the title of Winter Snow Rose on the knee of lyanna stark, a noble lady from the north. According to eddard stark, at that moment, "the audience's smile disappeared". At that time, regal was married, and Leona was engaged to a young aristocrat, robert baratheon, who was in the midst of a storm. The rich man's high-profile kindness to Leona immediately caused an uproar and attracted many rumors. Some people think that Prince regal has bad intentions towards Leona, which has become a major scandal of the royal family.
At the end of the year of Hellenborg Tournament Conference, winter came again, King's Landing City began to snow, and thin ice formed on the Heishui River. It was not until the following year that regal came to Hejian again with a dozen of her closest friends, including arthur dayne and Oswell He An. Dozens of miles from Heronburg, he and Leona met again, and then they both disappeared. No one knows what happened, but many people have rumored that Regal kidnapped Leona, and Leona's fiance, Robert Baratheon, insisted that Regal forcibly kidnapped and raped Leona. However, Balistan Selmi insisted that "Prince regal loves his Miss Leona deeply" and blamed himself for failing to beat regal in the final of the tournament in Hellenborg, otherwise he would make Ashala Dion the "queen of love and beauty" and avoid future wars.
The news that Leona was "hijacked" by the rich quickly spread among rivers. At that time, Leona's eldest brother, brandon stark, was preparing to marry catelyn tully in Riverrun, and their father, Duke ricard Stark, also took the wedding team along King's Road to attend the wedding. Brandon went out of town to meet his father and his party in the north. On his way back to Riverrun, he heard the news that his sister was missing. Hearing that his sister was kidnapped, Brandon, who had "wolf blood", couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately set off for King's Landing accompanied by his attendants Ethan Glover, Elbert Arryn, Kyle Royce and Jeffrey Marist (said to be his future father-in-law Hoss at that time). After arriving in King's Landing, bloody Brandon completely forgot his manners and rushed into the Red Castle, clamoring for Rehgar to come out and die. But there is no regal in King's Landing, but Iriz II, the "mad king". The mad king immediately arrested Brandon and his entourage for threatening to murder the prince, and ordered their father to go to Beijing immediately to plead guilty. When Duke Rickard and others arrived, the mad king jumped in and ordered everyone to be taken down and executed. Duke Rickard refused to accept it and asked for a competition. The mad king agreed.
However, when Duke Rickard was fully armed to attend the tournament, the mad king announced that the samurai representing the royal family was fire, and then Rickard was tied up and hung upside down on a wildfire for barbecue. At the same time, Brandon's neck, hands tied behind his back, was placed on a gallows in Telosi, and a long sword was placed just out of reach in front of him. Brandon, who didn't want to see his father killed by fire, tried to get the sword to save people, but he was strangled alive. After the death of the Starks, except the young Ethan Glover, everyone else was burned to death by the mad king without trial. That night, the mad king who was not satisfied with the stake got excited, and then raped his wife, Queen Laila (so she got pregnant with daenerys targaryen).
After killing the Starks, the mad king was not satisfied and wanted to kill them all. Knowing that Leona's second brother, eddard stark, and her fiance, Robert Baratheon, are the attendants of Duke jon arryn, the Lord of the Valley and the guardian of the East, crazy Faye Wong Crowe sent a letter to order Duke Erin to hand over their heads immediately. Duke Erin, who attached great importance to justice and honor, had long been dissatisfied with the tyranny of the mad king, but he was more fed up with forcing him to hand over his two adopted sons as his own sons. He called bannermen to revolt, and the three governors of North, Storm and Hejian responded immediately, supporting Robert with Targaryen descent as the leader. The seven kingdoms suddenly reversed, and the usurper war broke out in an all-round way.
At the beginning of the war, the storm was far away from the other three allies, surrounded by royalist forces and fought alone. After robert baratheon lost in the battle of Censhutan, the mad king thought that the rebels were vulnerable and would soon be suppressed. However, after the bell-ringing campaign, the Fourth Route Rebel successfully joined forces and repelled the troops of the Prime Minister, Count Jon Clinton. The mad king realized the seriousness of the situation-the rebellion of Robert and others was the biggest threat that the Targaryen dynasty faced since the first black fire rebellion. But at this time, Prince Regal, arthur dayne and Oswell He An, two Kingsguard (both high-ranking members of the Royal Army), are still missing, and the Royal Army is leaderless. The anxious mad king immediately sent Sir Jerome Hightower, commander-in-chief of the Kingsguard, to look for regal.
Jerome Hightower found Regal in the Tower of Joy in the northern mountainous area of Dorne, but was persuaded to stay with arthur dayne and Oswell He An to take care of lyanna stark. The rich man returned to Beijing alone and took over the counter-insurgency team. He persuaded his father to put down his airs and go to the west to guard the Duke of tywin lannister for help. Then, he led three Kingsguard knights, Sir barristan selmy, Prince Lewin martel and Sir Jonoser Daley, to the north to fight against the insurgents. Before he left, jaime lannister, a new member of Tiewei, requested to go to war together, but Rehgar pointed out that Zhan Mu was the "amulet" left by the mad king to contain Duke Wen Tai, and he had to stay in Beijing. At the same time, he comforted Zhan Mu, saying, "After the war, I will convene a great council to reform politics. I made a plan for this a long time ago, but unfortunately ... well, let's not talk about the road we haven't set foot on yet. When my team returns to North Korea, we will make a plan. " Then turn over and mount the horse, put on the towering black helmet and lead the army to war.
The 40,000 royalist troops led by Rehgar (30,000 cavalry and infantry * * * and 65,438+0,000 infantry reinforcements from Dorne) and 35,000 rebels fought at the ferry of Lvcha River, a tributary of Trident River. Although the Royal Army has the strength advantage, most of them are recruits who have never been to the battlefield, and there are also many veterans among the rebels. In the battle, the army led by Prince Levin martel of Donne fought against Robert's left wing, and was violently charged by Sir Lynn Cobre, a knight of the valley, who killed him. Sir barristan selmy was seriously injured and nearly died after killing several enemies. Sir Jonoso Darryl was also killed in the fierce battle. The war began against the royal army.
Regal met robert baratheon head-on in the fierce battle. They ignored the fierce battle between the soldiers of both sides and launched a one-on-one duel in the river at the ferry. In the confrontation, Ray seriously injured Robert, but he was also severely hit in the chest by the tip of Robert's hammer and was fatally injured. The force of the blow was so great that the rubies embedded in regal's breastplate were smashed and scattered on the beach, which made some soldiers on both sides forget to fight and run to the river to grab the scattered rubies. This place was later called Ruby Ford. According to the memory illusion that daenerys targaryen saw in the Immortal Temple, Rehgar kept chanting the name of his beloved woman before he died.
Seeing the death of the commander-in-chief, the royal army was immediately defeated and the rebels won a decisive victory. After the battle, Regal's body was cremated according to the tradition of Targaryen. The battle of Trident River cleared the way for the rebels to approach the capital, determined the strategic advantage of the rebels, and was the turning point of the whole war. After the Battle of Trident River, it was only a matter of time before the rebels won an all-round victory. The Duke of tywin lannister, who had been doing nothing before, finally sent troops eastward and led 12000 troops to King's Landing. At the same time, because robert baratheon was injured in the battle with regal, eddard stark took over the command of the rebel army and led the troops to attack King's Landing with all their strength in order to capture the capital before the arrival of western reinforcements.
Wen Tai's western troops arrived outside King's Landing a few hours in advance, expressing heartfelt wishes to the mad king and requesting to enter the city. Despite the opposition of intelligence chief Varis, the Lannister-leaning college student sent Hill to persuade the mad king to open the door. However, Wen Tai defected immediately after entering the city, and then slaughtered the city in the name of Robert. In desperation, the mad king intends to end up with his enemy, so he ordered the fire warlock and new prime minister Rosat to light the wild cupping buried everywhere in King's Landing in advance and burn everything in King's Landing. He also ordered jaime lannister to kill his father, Duke Tywin. However, Zhan Mu pretended to be the person in charge, went after the firemen first, and then came back to assassinate the mad king on the iron throne.
Duke Tywin, who won the capital, immediately ordered his men Sir gregor clegane and Sir Amauri Lodge to hunt down and kill the rest of the royal family as a symbol of loyalty to Robert and abandoning the Targaryen family forever. Riggs eldest daughter, Princess Raine, was only three years old at that time, wearing pajamas and hiding under her father's bed in the bedroom of Meg Building. Sir Amauri found her, dragged her out of bed, stabbed her more than 50 times and killed her. Regal's wife, Princess Ilya, and her son, Prince Egan, who is less than two years old, were found downstairs in Magic Mountain. The magic mountain first smashed Prince Egan into the wall in front of Princess Ilya, then brutally raped Princess Ilya, and then killed her. At this point, all members of the Targaryen family were killed, except Queen Leila (who was pregnant at that time) and Viserys Targaryen, the second prince, who fled to Longshi Island earlier, and aemon targaryen, an old bachelor in the Great Wall. The Tangrian dynasty, which ruled Westeros for nearly 300 years, completely collapsed.
After eddard stark led the rebel army to King's Landing, Duke Tywin wrapped the bodies of Princess Elias and her two children in a red Lannister robe, put them under the iron throne, and swore allegiance to Robert who arrived later. Robert was crowned king of the seven kingdoms and pardoned Duke Tywin. However, Ed, who attaches great importance to honor, can't accept Robert's pardon for the Lannister family's crime of killing Targaryen's children, let alone Zhan Mu, the kingslayer, continuing to work in Kingsguard. He and Robert had a big fight for the first time in their lives. However, when jon arryn was on Robert's side, Ed left Beijing alone in a rage and led the army south to clean up the battlefield. North of Dorne, Ed and his six companions passed by the Blissful Tower. After a fierce battle with three Kingsguard guarding the tower, they found their sister Liana in the tower, but Liana died. Before she died, Ed was asked to make an unknown promise.
Robert baratheon, though her rival in love succeeded to the throne, lost the woman she loved all her life. His hatred of Regal and Targaryen family did not decrease with time. Many years later, when Robert mentioned regal, he would swear that he would kill regal once every night in his dream, but even if he "killed him a thousand times again, he still deserved to die", he still could not dispel the hatred in his heart and vowed "I will personally kill everyone who lives in Targaryen's house and kill them all; I want to teach them to die cleanly and thoroughly like dragons, and finally pee on their graves. "
