Visenya Targaryen
Visenya Targaryen was the older of Aegon I's sisters. She was also one of his two wives, the other being her sister Rhaenys. During the War of Conquest, she rode the dragon, Vhagar, to battle.

Aegon I Targaryen
Aegon Targaryen, the First of His Name, also known as Aegon the Conqueror or Aegon the Dragon, was the conqueror of the Seven Kingdoms and the founder of the ruling Targaryen dynasty of Westeros.

Rhaenys Targaryen
Queen Rhaenys Targaryen was the younger of Aegon I's sister-queens. Rhaenys was Aegon's favourite sister-wife, though she may have dabbled with other bed-mates.

Aegon was from the island of Dragonstone, the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold, which his family had settled over a century before the Doom of Valyria. According to Targaryen tradition, Aegon married within the family; however, instead of just one sister, he married both of them: his elder sister, Visenya, and his younger sister, Rhaenys. All three were dragon-riders before they were wed.

Eventually Aegon decided to go west to Westeros, and for years he planned his conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. He made a huge table map of Westeros painted without any borders to signify that it should be one realm alone instead of many. This map later became known as The Painted Table. His plan was ambitious but eventually successful.
When he was ready, he and his two sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, landed with his army on the east coast of Westeros at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush. With the aid of their three dragons (Vhagar, Meraxes, and Balerion the Black Dread) Aegon led the Targaryen army to victory after victory, conquering or subjugating six of the seven kingdoms of the Westeros continent and establishing the Riverlands as a separate region. He failed to conquer Dorne, however, and eventually was forced to respect their autonomy.
During the invasion Aegon converted to the Faith of the Seven as a political maneuver. Through the conversion he won the Faith's support, and dated the beginning of his reign from the day the High Septon anointed him in Oldtown.

After the war, Aegon founded the city of King's Landing and the fortress of the Red Keep at the site of his initial landing on Blackwater Bay. He took the swords of his defeated enemies, forging them into the Iron Throne. He spent the rest of his reign consolidating his power and building his capital at King's Landing. He also formed the elite royal bodyguard known as the Kingsguard.
Aegon also created the office of the Hand of the King and made Orys Baratheon his Hand.
He died 37 years after setting foot on Westeros. There is no information available about the circumstances of his death or whether he was survived by any of his sisters or an appointed successor. Upon his death the Faith of the Seven rose in rebellion against House Targaryen in what became known as the Faith Militant uprising.
