Set 100 Years Before Game of Thrones

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place roughly a century before the events of the original Game of Thrones. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall, a wandering knight, and his young squire Egg, who is later revealed to be Aegon V Targaryen, a future king of Westeros.

It provides viewers with a deeper understanding of Westeros before the great conflicts, highlighting political balance, noble traditions, and the roots of future power struggles.

An Impressive Cast

Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan the Tall, while Dexter Sol Ansell portrays the young Egg. They are joined by a strong supporting cast including Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, and Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen.
