As a devoted fan who’s spent countless nights huddled by the hearth, poring over each word of George R.R. Martin’s masterpiece, I can’t help but feel a pang of anticipation for Alicent’s journey in House of the Dragon Season 3. Much like how the winds of love can shift unpredictably, so too does the fate of our favorite characters in this captivating world.
In House of the Dragon Season 2, Alicent ponders if all her efforts were justified. Worsening matters is her discovery that she misinterpreted Viserys’s last statements during their conversation. What lies ahead for the ex-Queen Consort in House of the Dragon Season 3?
The TV show draws inspiration from George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood,” but it deviates in certain places since not everything in history as recorded can be entirely trusted. Remember, history is often penned by the triumphant, so its accounts may not always reflect the full truth.
Let’s delve into this book, shall we? It should provide us with an approximate understanding of what awaits Alicent in Season 3 of ‘House of the Dragon’.
Alicent opens the gates to Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon
In the closing act of Season 2, I found myself knocking on the door of Rhaenyra’s chambers, eager to discuss our next steps towards a tranquil future. It’s long overdue for Rhaenyra to ascend the Iron Throne, and I pledged my support in making that happen. I vowed to swing open the castle gates, paving her path to walk through unhindered.
In the novel “Fire & Blood”, a conflict occurs, during which Alicent’s brother, Gwayne, meets his untimely end. Following this skirmish, Alicent herself is apprehended. Despite Otto and his supporters being ultimately put to death, Rhaenyra spares Alicent out of respect for the affection she once held for Viserys, her late husband.
In the captivating narrative of “Fire & Blood,” I find myself unable to stay neutral regarding the Dance of the Dragons. I yearn for tranquility in Westeros and see a division between Aegon and Rhaenyra as the solution. However, when Rhaenyra declares that Aegon and Aemond forfeited their claim due to the demise of her sons, I express my perspective, arguing that it’s only the illegitimate lives that were affected by this conflict.
Arranging a betrothal for her son in Fire & Blood
During her brief rule of six months, Rhaenyra’s reign brings immense sorrow upon Alicent. Tragically, Aemond perishes in combat against Daemon, Daeron falls in the Second Battle of Tumbleton, Helaena ends her life, and around the same period, baby Maegor, their youngest son, passes away. In grief, Alicent imprecates Rhaenyra, and it seems her curse holds true when Rhaenyra meets her end at Dragonstone, brought about by Aegon and Sunfyre.
It seems more likely that the following events will unfold in House of the Dragon’s Season 4 instead of Season 3. I have a feeling that Season 3 might focus on Rhaenyra’s time at King’s Landing, possibly concluding with her passing. This would pave the way for Aegon to reclaim the throne.
When Aegon regains the Iron Throne, Alicent steps in to arrange a new marriage alliance for Cassandra Baratheon. At the same time, Lord Corlys Velaryon proposes the union of Princess Jaehaera Targaryen with Prince Aegon, Rhaenyra’s son. Although Alicent isn’t thrilled by this idea, she ultimately consents to it.
In the end, Aegon meets his demise. Instead, it is Aegon the Younger and Jaehaera Targaryen who ascend to the Iron Throne, while Alicent lives out her remaining years under confinement within her own residence. This scenario marks the conclusion of the Dance of the Dragons, and I can envision this being how House of the Dragon Season 4 concludes.
