Story Spotlight: What’s Coming in Knight of Seven Kingdoms Episode 5
Everything leads to the Trial of Seven. Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) is in deep trouble after defending puppeteer Tanselle from the vicious Prince Aerion Targaryen. He’s accused of assault and kidnapping—especially after it came out that his squire “Egg” is really Prince Aegon. Dunk called for a Trial by Combat, but Aerion upped the stakes to a full Trial of Seven.
Episode 4 left us shocked with Steffon Fossoway’s betrayal—he switched sides for a promise of lordship. But hope arrived when Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen stepped up to fight for justice, even against his own family. He’s joined by Ser Lyonel Baratheon, Ser Robyn Rhysling, and the two Humfreys (Hardyng and Beesbury). Seven vs. seven. Blood will spill.
Beyond the battlefield, Knight of Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 will take us deeper into Dunk’s past. Expect touching flashbacks to his tough childhood in Flea Bottom and the day he first met Ser Arlan of Pennytree—the man who shaped him into the future Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
This episode is all about loyalty, honor, and raw emotion. Don’t miss it!
