Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT House of the Dragon season 2 sees Aegon II Targaryen referred to as "The Magnanimous," a nickname that's original to the show. The Game of Thrones prequel series is based on the book Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin, a fictional history text covering the Targaryen dynasty.
What King Aegon "The Magnanimous" Means - And Does It Really Fit? The Term "Magnanimous" Doesn't Really Fit Aegon's Character In season 2, episode 1, Aegon sits on the Iron Throne to hear requests from citizens of the realm. His arrival is announced in the throne room, and he's referred to as Aegon "The Magnanimous," a nickname that's bestowed upon him seemingly on a whim.
In the premiere episode, Aegon takes requests from commoners and seems to have a genuine interest in helping them, though Otto Hightower reminds him of the logistical issues in doing so. There's part of Aegon that does seem to care, or at the least, he wants to be seen as a benevolent ruler, though it's impractical to meet the wishes of everyone during wartime.
