The Big Picture The second season of House of the Dragon has only made things more complicated for the two sides of the Targaryen civil war. But perhaps no one has lost more power in Westeros than the Dowager Queen herself, Alicent Hightower . The monarch used to have the entire kingdom in the palm of her hand, considering how she was the wife of King Viserys I Targaryen and the daughter of Otto Hightower .
A few years down the line, Viserys' health only got worse. The king could no longer rule over the Seven Kingdoms from the Iron Throne, and during that period Alicent and Otto were essentially the voice of the king. Although Viserys made a final effort on the day of his death to reaffirm his daughter's claim to the throne and his grandson's legitimacy, his subsequent death led to a misunderstanding by Alicent.
In what has been one of the most dangerous missions seen in the show so far, Rhaenyra wore a disguise in order to talk with Alicent in private. But the results weren't the ones the Black Queen was expecting. Alicent finally understood that Viserys never meant for Aegon II to rule Westeros and that she had misinterpreted her husband's final words. But that didn't change anything. Alicent is determined to help her son keep his right to a throne that was never his.
