Alicent Hightower is a fictional character appearing in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, primarily featured in Fire & Blood, and its television adaptation House of the Dragon, where she is portrayed by English actresses Olivia Cooke and Emily Carey (young).
Within her respective fictional universe, Alicent became the second wife to King Viserys I Targaryen, having four children with the king. Through several factors and misunderstandings, including her own father's manipulation, she sought to take the Iron Throne after her late husband's death to ensure her family's succession.
For House of the Dragon, the character received critical acclaim from television critics who cited her as one of the series' most complex, understanding, and multi-dimensional characters. Olivia Cooke received praise for her performance as Alicent Hightower.[1]
