The regency of Aegon III lasted from 131 AC to 136 AC while King Aegon III Targaryen was in his minority. It was a period of numerous political conflicts that occurred among the council of regents and several Hands of the King.

The northerners left the capital and thousands flocked in to witness the royal wedding and coronation, Next, the king named his small council, installing both sides of the loyalists in equal numbers. A council of regency was then formed, featuring seven lords and ladies from the realm, in order to help run the kingdom. Ser Tyland Lannister, who had been horrifically tortured and had facial scars, was named Hand of the King. Queen Dowager Alicent refused to abide with the compromise, and was confined to her rooms. Grand Maester Orwyle bribed his way out of being shipped to the wall, and was found working in a brothel. Tyland, fond of the maester, sentenced him to be held in a tower, where he was allowed to write his confessions.
