Title Septon
Allegiance Faith of the Seven
Book The Princess and the Queen

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 by Archmaester Gyldayn.[1]

History

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.

Because the High Septon was too old and frail to travel from Oldtown to King's Landing, Eustace later anointed and blessed Aegon II Targaryen during his coronation.
