  • High Septon
rdfs:comment
  • The High Septon is the highest Septon in the Faith in the Seven Kingdoms. He anoints men when they become knights.
  • The High Septon, also known as 'His High Holiness', is the supreme priest of the Faith of the Seven. The office holder originally resided in Oldtown until the invasion of Aegon the Conqueror, when he moved to the new capital of King's Landing. He currently resides in the Great Sept of Baelor.
  • High Septon is the title held by the head of the Faith of the Seven, the dominant religion of the Seven Kingdoms. It is a position of supreme authority within the church, but has little or no official power outside of the religion. Unofficially, the position does carry a high degree of social influence, though under weak High Septons the position itself is prone to manipulation by secular political leaders.

abstract
  • High Septon is the title held by the head of the Faith of the Seven, the dominant religion of the Seven Kingdoms. It is a position of supreme authority within the church, but has little or no official power outside of the religion. Unofficially, the position does carry a high degree of social influence, though under weak High Septons the position itself is prone to manipulation by secular political leaders. When the current High Septon dies, a new one will be elected by the Most Devout, the ruling council of the Faith of the Seven, who rank just below the High Septon in the religion's hierarchy. As the Most Devout are typically the most senior and prominent officials within the Faith, they usually elect a new High Septon from among their own members. An individual who becomes High Septon is supposed to leave behind their original name when taking such a holy office, and it is officially forbidden to refer to them, living or dead, as anything other than simply "the High Septon". This can become confusing when referring to the actions or policies of different High Septons.
