Eustace
Title Septon
Allegiance Faith of the Seven
Books

Eustace was a septon attached to the Red Keep during the reign of Viserys I Targaryen. The writings of Eustace were used as a source for The Princess and The Queen, or, The Blacks and The Greens as well as The Rogue Prince, or, A King's Brother (by Archmaester Glydayn) by Archmaester Gyldayn.[1]

History

Eustace and Mushroom each gave conflicting accounts of events during the period before and during Dance of the Dragons. Both on the relationships between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen and of the relationship between Rhaenyra and Criston Cole.[2]

Following the death of King Viserys, Grand Maester Orwyle told the small council that Septon Eustace should be summoned to perform the last rites and to pray for Viserys's soul. However, Ser Otto Hightower said that they must first settle the matter of succession. Eustace wrote[3] that Viserys's eldest son, Aegon, was initially opposed to the greens' attempt to crown him instead of Aegon's elder step-sister, Rhaenyra, and that Aegon only agreed to accept the crown after Ser Criston Cole convinced him he would be killed if Rhaenyra became queen. Because the High Septon was too old and frail to travel from Oldtown to King's Landing, Eustace anointed and blessed Aegon II during his coronation.[1]

Following the blacks' capture of King's Landing, Eustace wrote[3] that the Iron Throne cut Rhaenyra when she sat upon it, although she was clad in armor.[1]

Quotes

And as her lord husband Prince Daemon escorted her from the hall, cuts were seen upon Her Grace's legs and the palm of her left hand. Drops of blood fell to the floor as she went past, and wise men looked at one another, though none dared speak the truth aloud: the Iron Throne had spurned her, and her days upon it would be few.[1]
