Alice Hightower is the famous character in the HBO max famous series “House of Dragons”, and fans of House of dragons may not be satisfied with the death of Alice Hightower.

Queen Alicent Hightower is the lead character of the Blockbuster series, she is the second wife of King Visereys and she is also the daughter of Serotta Hightower, the Hand of the king. 

At the very young age of just 18 years old, Alice was a highly intelligent, literate, and graceful woman 

Alice was the mother of four children. 

Alice Hightower earns so much popularity and love from people throughout her time as Queen.

How Did Alice Hightower Die?

The Dance of Dragons, the Targaryen civil war, is actually started by Alicent. King Viserys I passes away, but instead of letting Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock and Emma D’Arcy) inherit the throne as planned, she calls a small council meeting of “greens” which are loyalists to her family and crowns her son Aegon II as the new king. 

She also makes her daughter, Helaena, the queen, by marrying her off to Aegon II.

Alicent and her small council make a number of promises, including that Rhaenyra’s family will maintain Dragonstone and that Driftmark will eventually belong to Lucerys, in an effort to quickly win Rhaenyra over. Rhaenyra, however, declines the offer because her birthright was taken from her.

The “blacks” (Rhaenyra supporters) avenge Aemond’s assassination of Lucerys by seizing King’s Landing and murdering Helaena’s children. Although Alicent is subsequently set free, she is first restrained while her friends—including her father—are executed.

Alicent pleads for peace and offers to divide Westeros in half with Rhaenyra out of fear that her family will suffer further losses, but this proposal is turned down by Rhaenyra. 

Alicent is detained by the Velaryons after Rhaenyra dies and Aegon II is poisoned. Alicent stays in the Red Keep in King’s Landing but refuses to accept defeat, even though her last remaining grandchildren are engaged to reigning monarchs. 

Aegon III, the eldest remaining son of Rhaenyra Targaryen, ascends to the throne. 

As a result, Alicent spends the remainder of her life confined inside Maegor’s Holdfast before passing away from winter fever. Alicent supposedly grows insane and begins to dislike the color green toward the end of her life.

Alicent’s story, which has been essential to House of the Dragon’s plot, is unlikely to be drastically altered, even if House of the Dragon has been known to change details from Fire & Blood.

On HBO and HBO Max, brand-new episodes of House of the Dragon air every Sunday at 9 p.m. EST.
