Murmison was a septon who became a renowned member of the Faith and a Hand of the King from 39 AC - 41 AC under Aenys I Targaryen.[1] He is now used as a warning about the makings of a good Hand.[2]

History

Murmison was appointed Hand of the King by Aenys I Targaryen as a way to try and appease the Faith of the Seven and the High Septon. The Faith was furious when Aenys's brother, Maegor, took a second wife, Alys Harroway. Aenys tried to placate the Faith by stripping Maegor of his own position as Hand and sending him into exile to Pentos.

Aenys, however, enraged the Faith in 41 AC when he wed his daughter, Rhaena, to his heir and son, Aegon, and was denounced as "King Abomination". Pious lords and even smallfolk who once loved Aenys turned against him.

Murmison was expelled from the Faith for performing the marriage of incest of Aegon to Rhaena and was later torn apart by smallfolk in a litter two weeks after he performed the ceremony. The Faith Militant uprising had begun.

Quotes about Murmison

Septon Murmison's prayers worked miracles, but as Hand he soon had the whole realm praying for his death.[2]
