For the first time at The Rolling Remote, we are heading into the lands of Westeros with A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, the HBO fantasy drama created by Ira Parker and George R.R. Martin. The series is the third live-action entry in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire universe, following Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. It’s set roughly 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones and adapts the tales of Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg” novellas, beginning with the first one, which is season one, The Hedge Knight.
Rather than focusing on dynastic warfare or dragon-fueled succession battles, this story centers on Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, a hedge knight of uncertain standing, and his young squire, Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell, whose true identity carries significant political weight. Today we’re breaking down the entire first season, all six episodes, from character dynamics to the Trial of the Seven, to how the series fits within the broader Westeros landscape.
