Maester Anselm was a maester of the Citadel who served House Targaryen at Dragonstone during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.[1]

History

In 54 AC when a mysterious illness killed Maester Culiper and several of Rhaena's close friends on Dragonstone. Maester Anselm took over the duties of Culiper and wrote the symptoms of the disease and dispatched a raven to King's Landing.

When the small council realized the description matched a poison known as the tears of Lys, they sent an urgent letter back. Maester Anselm was later found in the rookery with a dagger in his back. It was later revealed that Rhaena's alienated and emasculated husband, Androw Farman, had actually poisoned them in petty revenge against his wife, who he felt had belittled him.[1]
