The High Septon was a traitor, plain and simple.
He was there when Viserys made the realm swear to Rhaenyra as his heir. He knew she was the rightful monarch, yet still helped usurp her crown, refused to anoint her, and hid behind his gods as an excuse.
I like the subtle detail of rhaenyra’s dress being stained with blood because she just walked upstairs bleeding, right after giving birth while alicent is getting her newly dress fixed by a maid. you’ll never catch me feeling bad for alicent or any of her children after all this.
