Biography[]

House of the Dragon: Season 1[]

Septon Eustace takes part in the coronation of King Aegon II Targaryen at the Dragonpit, praying to the Seven for their blessing and anointing Aegon with sacred oils.[1]

In the books[]

In Fire & Blood, Eustace is one of three major sources cited by Archmaester Gyldayn for the history of the Dance of the Dragons. Maester Yandel considers Eustace's account to be more reliable than that of Mushroom. It is said that Eustace disliked Rhaenyra Targaryen. Eustace's account, while generally accurate, tends to be biased against Rhaenyra and to favor Alicent and Aegon II, in contrast with Munkun's history (based on Orwyle's account) which is said to be biased in favor of Rhaenyra and against Aegon II. Despite being biased in favor of the Greens, Eustace's account is the one least favorable to Criston Cole (Eustace's account is the one that accuses Cole of wanting to break his Kingsguard vows to elope with Rhaenyra, and of slitting Lord Lyman Beesbury's throat when Lyman protested the Greens usurping Rhaenyra).

Eustace was born in Stoney Sept, a walled town in the riverlands. He would later come to serve in the Red Keep's castle sept during the reign of Viserys I Targaryen.

Eustace crowned King Aegon II himself because the High Septon was too old and frail to travel from Oldtown to King's Landing.
