Aerys II Targaryen is the Targaryen king remembered as the Mad King, who demanded the heads of two young wards of the Eyrie.
Aerys II Targaryen gave the order that had Brandon Stark strangled at twenty, only a few days before his wedding to Catelyn Tully of Riverrun. Lord Rickard Stark, Brandon's father, was made to look on while it was done.
Aerys kept a Kingsguard of seven knights. In soldiers' tales that the maids of Winterfell once whispered to one another, Arthur Dayne, called the Sword of the Morning, is named as the deadliest of them.
