Background

Eustace's father John works on the construction site of Glastonbury Abbey. As an apprentice stonemason, Eustace sometimes joins his father on work details. In 1193, he began moonlighting as a repairman for Stranggore -- without permission from his father or the Stonemasons' Guild. He made friends with Agnes and with Tobias the enchanted owl.

Working under the table could not go on forever and in Winter 1193 he got caught by his father. An apprentice taking on jobs without his master present is a violation of Guild rules. He was able to negotiate a deal between his father and Brian the Mad where John now works side jobs at the covenant and Eustace works under John's supervision -- even if John is not on site every day.

Brian the Mad noticed that Eustace is smart and that he wants to read and write. He started having Valera, the scholar in Barstow, tutor Eustace in Latin and the artes liberales.

Relationships

Friend of Agnes.
