Episode 4 Recap: The Squire and the Royal Reveal
In the previous episode, tensions escalated during a tournament sequence. Ser Duncan the Tall, known as Dunk, refused to participate in a fixed joust. Meanwhile, Prince Aerion ‘Brightflame’ Targaryen dishonourably injured a horse during combat.
Matters intensified when Aerion assaulted Tanselle after her puppet performance. Dunk intervened and physically confronted the prince. To prevent Dunk’s execution, Egg revealed his true identity as Prince Aegon Targaryen, Aerion’s younger brother. This revelation dramatically altered the stakes moving forward.

Plot Overview: The Adventures of Dunk and Egg
The story takes place during the reign of the Targaryen dynasty, when dragons were still remembered, and political tensions simmered beneath the surface.
