This was all about to change when Viserys I Targaryen mistook Alicent as his daughter and suggested Aegon should be the ruler. But did the queen misinterpret Viserys’s last words? Or was she intentionally twisting them to suit her interests?
Vaemond Velaryon challenged the claim of the prince to Driftmark’s heir. House of the DragonEpisode 8: Rhaenyra Targaryen returned to King’s Landing in support of her son Lucerys. The weaker Viserys declared Luke the new Lord on the Tides. He had previously sided with his daughter.
Viserys suggested that everyone get along as they gathered at dinner. Viserys tells Alicent he believes that Aegon is Conqueror’s Dream and that Rhaenyra, mistaken for Rhaenyra, is the rightful inheritor.
