TG argument that doesn’t stand: “Alicent deserves to have her blood on the throne after all she’s been through.”
First of all, she hasn’t been through anything. She loves to victimize herself after she has been touched by the Gods and a crown was put on her undeserving head. She was not even the daughter of the Lord of Hightower, only of the second son of a non-Paramount House, and yet she became queen. Not to mention that she had children of royal blood who had been given many privileges: comfort, good food, riches, education, combat training, a secured future etc. She doesn’t have any right to complain.
Secondly, what about Queen Aemma Arryn? She has been through a lot. Unlike Alicent, she was a gracious and kind queen who never harmed anyone. Unlike Alicent, Aemma had class (a true child of Lord Rodrick Arryn and Princess Daella Targaryen).
She had many miscarriages and stillbirths throughout her life and her only child was the Realm’s Delight, Rhaenyra Targaryen, the most beautiful maiden in the Realm & the youngest dragonrider in history.
Who is more deserving to have her bloodline continue? The ungrateful and traitorous upstart who committed high treason and started a war by placing her son on the throne, or the gentle queen consort whose only crime was not giving the Realm a son?
GRRM answered that when he arranged for the demise of all of Alicent’s children and grandchildren, while the bloodline of the Realm’s Delight/the Dragon Queen prevailed.
