Alicent Hightower Brother

House of the Dragon Season 2: Alicent Hightower's Family Background Explored

Background on Alicent Hightower

Alicent Hightower, a pivotal character in HBO's "House of the Dragon," has a complex family history. Born in 88 AC to Otto Hightower, Alicent's father was initially a younger brother within House Hightower.

Otto Hightower's Position

Contrary to earlier beliefs, Otto Hightower was not the head of House Hightower but held a subordinate position as the younger brother of the unnamed head of the family. By the time of the Dance of the Dragons, Otto's nephew had inherited the leadership of their house.

Hightower Knights and Gwayne Hightower

In the latest episode of "House of the Dragon," Alicent's Hightower knight companion is not explicitly named. However, it is highly likely that the knight is Gwayne Hightower, one of Alicent's brothers. Gwayne is a skilled and loyal knight who plays a significant role in the Targaryen conflict.

Lord Hightower

Alicent's grandfather, Lord Hightower, was the head of House Hightower until the end of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen's rule. His tenure marked a period of stability and prosperity for the Hightowers, who are a powerful and influential family in Westeros.
