what episode did aegon say my father never wanted this to alicent in house of the dragon

June 28, 2026

Aegon says “my father never wanted this” in Season 1, Episode 9, “The Green Council” of House of the Dragon.

The line comes during the Green Council fallout, when Alicent is pushing Aegon toward the throne and he pushes back with that complaint.

You may also see clips or posts label the same scene as the coronation build- up in Episode 9, since that’s the episode where the moment happens.
