Summary
Jan is in his usual seat - tucked away in the back corner of the courtroom - when the commotion starts. So he doesn’t see it per se - the entire thing is over within mere seconds and his nose was in his book - but he hears it well enough. The defendant’s snarl of anger. A few shocked noises from the gallery and the bench. The sound of a chair falling over.

Summary
Magnus Carlsen is a Prince of the Fire Nation, first in line to succeed his aging uncle as Fire Lord. On his 18th Birthday he's given a gift - a blue eyed boy captured somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. After all, with Magnus having reached his majority it would be inappropriate for his tutors to strike him. So he needs a whipping boy for when he's inevitably late for his lessons.

Summary
The Second Targaryen Conquest of Westeros, otherwise known as the Conquest of 141 AC, is decidedly simple by the standards of wars or conquests, but has far more complicated origins that could be argued to stretch back as far as the First Conquest, but to avoid esoteric arguments I find it most practical to start with the year 106 AC.
Or: Rhaenyra runs away to Dragonstone before she is named heir. She still becomes Queen, it just takes a little longer.
