PRINCE DUNCAN TARGARYEN:The first to disobey aegon was his eldest son, Duncan, prince of rocadragon and heir to the throne. Despite being engaged for a long time to a daughter of baratheon house, bastion of storms, in 239 AD, during a journey through the lands of the rivers, he fell in love with a strange, beautiful and mysterious young woman who called herself Jenny of oldstones and lived ina state of semi-savagery among the ruins, calling herself the successor of the ancient Kings of the first men, although in the villages of the area people mocked those tales and insisted that she was only a half-crazy peasant, if not a witch.His majesty did everything possible to annul the marriage and demanded that Duncan give up Jenny, but the prince, who had inherited his father's stubbornness, refused, and did not even twist his arm when the supreme septon, the grand master and the privy council met to insist that king aegon force his son to choose between the iron throne and that savage of the woods. Instead of renouncing Jenny, he did so to his rights to the throne, in favour of his brother jaehaerys, and abdicated as prince of rocadragon.
