The House of the Dragon season 3 finale has aired, and the bloodsoaked Battle of Tumbleton claims several major characters. High Septon Eustace, Roderick Dustin, and Lord Ormund Hightower are among the dead, while Helaena Targaryen meets a tragic end far from the battlefield.
High Septon Eustace Executed
In shocking scenes, Rhaenyra Targaryen orders Ser Alyn of Hull to kill High Septon Eustace after his continued refusal to anoint her as Queen. Ser Alyn drives a sword through the religious leader's stomach in the King's Landing Sept.
Battle of Tumbleton Casualties
During the battle, Roderick Dustin dies by dragonfire when Ulf the White goes rogue, burning soldiers on both sides. Dustin manages to strike down Lord Ormund Hightower, driving a sword up his backside before both are engulfed in flames.
Hugh Hammer's wife Kat also dies amid the chaos, and Hugh discovers her body in the ruined remains of Tumbleton.
Helaena's Fate
After her mother Alicent is forced to depart, Helaena decides she would rather die than remain imprisoned by Rhaenyra and throws herself out of a window, leaving behind a tapestry that may reveal a prophecy.
