The Blackfyre Rebellion refers to a series of civil wars in the fictional world of Westeros, created by George R.R. Martin. It began in 196 AC when Daemon Blackfyre, a legitimized bastard of King Aegon IV, claimed the Iron Throne, challenging the ruling Targaryen dynasty. The conflict was marked by several battles and shifting allegiances, as various noble houses chose sides. Over the years, there were multiple Blackfyre pretenders, leading to several uprisings against the Targaryens. The rebellions ultimately ended with the defeat of the Blackfyre claimants, solidifying the Targaryen rule. The events of the Blackfyre Rebellion significantly shaped the political landscape of Westeros.
