Better watch the double negatives there, gets a tad confusing! Can you explain how Edric Dayne has been proven to not be Aegon? I haven't seen the explanation and I'm interested!
I was lying in bed last night and while I personally think Aegon was simply killed during the sack of King's Landing, it IS fun coming up with conspiracy theories about how he could still be alive. Stretching out the idea that it could be Edric Dayne slightly, I had the idea that because of the similar biological markers for Targaryens and Daynes and given (I don't think?) that it is ever specified who Edric Dayne's parents are, it could be that Lady Ashara had a son who was switched with Aegon to protect the prince in a time when Robert's rebellion was gaining power. It seems unlikely but it could explain why Lady Ashara threw herself from the tower when Eddard came to visit. When Eddard came with Arthur's sword, he also unwittingly brought the news of the Sack of King's Landing and the death of her child in the place of baby Aegon.
Really, Aegon is dead though :P
