Despite the lackluster critical reception to Game of Thrones’ final season, the world author George RR Martin built remains one of HBO’s most popular IPs. This was made all the more obvious with the overwhelmingly positive reaction its spin-off series, House of the Dragon, received upon its airing in 2022. HBO has already begun development on even more stories adapted from A Song of Ice and Fire, leaving audiences anxious to discover what else the medieval fantasy world has to offer.However, approaching the thousands of pages written in the A Song of Ice and Fire series can be a daunting experience for even the biggest fantasy fan. It is a little easier, however, to discover the lore behind House of the Dagon via George R. R. Martin’s spin-off books Fire & Blood and The Rise of the Dragon — but one series set within A Song of Ice and Fire is just as rich in lore yet far more accessible for the casual fan. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg were compiled into the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms novella and later adapted into three graphic novels by Marvel: The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight.Fans of A Song of Ice and Fire may not be immediately familiar with the characters found in The Hedge Knight or its sequels, but the two main protagonists, Ser Duncan the Tall and Aegon “Egg” Targaryen, are very important to the mythology explored in both HBO shows. Not only is Duncan the Tall (more commonly referred to as “Dunk”) an ancestor of popular Game of Thrones character Brienne of Tarth, but Egg eventually becomes one of the many Targaryen kings who helped mold the history of Westeros as it is recognized today.HOTD: Why Does Everyone Love Daemon Targaryen?HOTD: Who Is the Father of Rhaenyra Targarayen’s Sons?
