What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about? The latest Game of Thrones spin-off is yet another prequel - but it takes place later in the time line than House of the Dragon, which depicts a civil war between the Targyrean family. It is based on a series of novellas by George R.R. Martin collectively known as the Tales of Dunk and Egg and is set about 90 years before the events of the original show. The shorter stories follow a hedge knight called Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg - who may be far more important than his initial appearance would let on. They embark on smaller scale adventures in the vein of knight-errant tales. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will adapt the first of the Dunk and Egg tales in its initial six-episode run. The longline for the series reads: 'A century before the events of 'Game of Thrones,' two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg.
