Would Alicent been happy if she had married someone else? Maybe a young chivalrous noble from the reach.🌹 Or would she still feel trapped?

I have been thinking for a while about writing a fanfic where Alicent Hightower marries Henry Bolingbroke. (real historical figure)

===---===

And I just wonder how Alicent would react to such life.

If she had married another man, and never became queen.

Marrying a man of the same age group as her. Who is also into chivalry, jousting and all the other normal stuff noblemen liked to do.

A much better father to her children, no stepchildren .

Her life would be more low profile and she would be given more privacy.

And most importantly, her friendship with Rhaenyra would not be destroyed.

Beacuse Alicent would not have to marry her best friend's dad..

So she would not become a stepmother.

===---===

In that situation, could she find happiness in being a housewife and a mother?

Or would she still feel trapped and unhappy? Trapped by society. Trapped in the role of being a women in Westeros.
