Regardless, when Maegor was eight, he stabbed to death a palfrey which had kicked him, and slashed half the face off the stableboy who came running towards the animal's screams. He supposedly immediately butchered a cat with the sword, although some doubt the truth of this tale. He received his first sword at the age of three, and took to swordplay at once. Maegor and Aenys were not close as children Maegor was raised by his mother on Dragonstone, and in time became known as the "Prince on Dragonstone". As a babe, he was a big and healthy child almost twice as heavy as his half-brother Aenys had been. That son, Maegor, was born the next year, on Dragonstone. In 11 AC, Queen Visenya Targaryen announced that she was pregnant with a son. Instead of a shirt of scale, Maegor wore a breastplate, covered by a surcoat that displays the Targaryen three-headed dragon, red on black. His armor, however, was more elaborate than Aegon's. Maegor wore his father's Valyrian steel-and-ruby crown. Although he had many companions throughout his youth, he had no true friends, and even as an adult Maegor trusted no one. He preferred fire and steel over settling issues through discussion, and showed cruel tendencies early in his childhood. He was a rigid man, unyielding, and unbending. Maegor was quarrelsome, quick to take offense, slow to forgive, and fearsome in his wroth. His savagery in the field and his harshness toward defeated enemies was frequently remarked upon. However, he was also a hard and brutal man who craved violence, death, and absolute mastery over all he deemed his. He lived for war, tourneys, and battle, and rose to become one of the youngest and finest knights of his time. Maegor was a born warrior whose skill with weapons was unmatched. He had angry-looking, suspicious eyes, and a scowling mouth.
He kept his hair short and his beard trimmed to his jawline. Though he was on the heavy side, he was not fat, but more massive and square. He was bull-like, with heavy shoulders, a thick neck, and huge arms. Maegor was a tall, broad, and fearsomely strong man, larger than his father, Aegon I Targaryen.
