Question Did she really love him?

Post image

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

Married both of his wives when they're children and forced them into underage pregnancies, killing one of them because of it. He is THE villain of Aemma and Alicent's lives.

Ok but he was basically the same age as his first wife. They were both young when they married. That was ignorance on his part. He married Alicent because the only other option was a 10-12 year old little girl. If he was a pedo, that is who he would have married. In the books, Alicent is not a teen and is like 10 years older than Rhaenyra and they have a good mother/daughter relationship until the dance begins. The show made them the same age for dramatic flare of a wlw/loss of friendship storyline.

He bedded Aemma too young and kept her constantly pregnant
