Daeron 1's Conquest is criminally underappreciated

Imagine Aemon the Dragonknight's perspective of like. You're 21 and in the Kingsguard and suddenly your uncle who's never been happy since he was 12 dies in his 30s of tuberculosis. Now your weird 14-year-old cousin is king. Day ONE he starts calling himself a dragon and goes "I'm gonna invade Dorne and complete the Conquest." Then he actually does within like a year. Then you have to jump in front of a poison arrow to save him and get sent back to KL to heal. Then, a few years later, the Dornish rebel and when you go to parley with them you get ambushed under the peace banner, Daeron dies, and you get captured and put in a cage hanging over a pit of vipers. You're held there for you don't know how long when out of nowhere your even weirder ultrareligious 16-year-old cousin shows up in sackcloth robes having walked barefoot across the Boneway. He's Then when he gets back he's like "heyyy just made peace with Dorne lol". The Wyl gives him the key to the cage you're still in and Baelor's like "it's cool the vipers won't hurt me" then walks through the viper pit and gets bitten so many times he passes out so now you have to pick him up and JUMP across the fucking pit with him. Tell me there isn't a miniseries in there.
