      But I fear there isn't all that much that Alicent does in the book, her sons take over after the war begins. I wish they hadn't reduced her to be nothing but a pawn to Otto and a gullible woman who acts on a misinterpretation. They set up the enmity between her and Rhaenyra fairly well, she as destined to be her antagonist, she should have schemed to put Aegon on the throne on her own accord.

      This version of Alicent (in the show) is so much better, more complex, more nuanced, it is my favorite character of th whole show!
      Obviously she will do horrible things in the escalation of the conflict, just like Rhaenyra. This is the point of the story, how this horrible conflict will trap everyone in a revenge and retaliation cycle.

    She is really an interesting character like Cersei. Big difference is that Alicent is extremely loyal, chaste and often torn between duty and love. A very realistic portrayal of Medieval queen. House of the Dragon is all about the glory and magnificence of Targaryen dynasty but still Alicent's character shines as the beacon of the Hightower. 💚💚💚💚

She has good qualities to her for sure and isn't lusting uncontrollably for power. Very sensible and wise. Her relationship with Otto is highly entertaining and is one of the most important characters in season 1. Can't wait for it to continue.

    Neither side is evil but Alicent isn't wrong. Rhaneyra was selfish and ignores the reality of the politics of Westeros.

      I don't think it has anything to do with 'following men'. She supports her blood over another womans child, no different than any other westerosi noblewoman we have seen on screen such as Cersei or Catelyn. In the show they framed her as this victim of the patriarchy but in the book the queen just wants her son on the throne because of course she does. And even in the show Alicent was pretty quick to 'misinterpret' Viserys final words.

      Rhaeneyra’s sons were claimed by her husband Laenor as his biological sons so legally they aren’t bastards. It also doesn’t matter who their father is in this scenario because it is Rhaeneyra’s blood connection to the throne that they need to inherit it, not the father’s.

It’s Rhaeneyra’s blood they need to inherit it, not their father’s.

      @@Mimikinn 1. the fact that Laenor recognized them does not greatly affect the political situation, otherwise other houses would not have joined the greens. we are literally shown that everyone knows that in reality Jace, Luke and Joffrey are not the biological children of Laenor, but those who talk about it are waiting for the fate of Vaemond🥰 and if Laenor recognized them legally as his children, why does Rhaenyra worry about rumors, like it's just rumors girl, if you're innocent, there's no need to panic.
      2. I am sure that they are at least 50% Targaryen, but the whole point is that only legitimate children can claim the throne like Rhaenyra or Aegon II, but Jace, Luke and Joffrey were born out of wedlock. you know, it's like in Westeros treason on the part of the heiress, because it would be fine if they were bastards, but Rhaenyra wants to transfer the throne to Jace, which again leads to a political crisis in the country.
      3. I have no questions about the rights to the throne of Aegon III and Viserys, but Rhaenyra initially did not want to put children from Daemon on the throne, no, for some reason she chose Jace and in fact spoiled her reputation in Westeros. I think if Aegon III would have been named her heir immediately before the dance, there would have been much less problems 🤷🏽‍♀️

But she later realises that to keep her and her family and her children safe, she needs to become a different sort of animal - the same on the surface but underneath, she must be observant, shrewd, paranoid and utterly ruthless.
