The constant (though largely unintentional) slights suffered by the faith of the Seven during the reign of King Aenys led to a revolt by the Faith against the Iron Throne.

The final straw was in 41 AC when King Aenys wed his daughter Rhaena to his son and heir Aegon receiving a denunciation from the faith "King Abomination", Pious Lords and even smallfolk who once loved Aenys turned against him beginning the Faith Militant uprising.

The conflict continued during the reign of Maegor the Cruel who burned the Sept of Remembrance in King's Landing to the ground. The High Septon died mysteriously in 44 AC but his death and the election of a new more passive High Septon did not stop the Uprising.
