All characters in Thrones Show

You may remember hearing vague references to the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall here and there in “Game of Thrones,” but when we meet him in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” he’s still a clumsy, lanky fellow who goes by his childhood nickname, Dunk.

Dunk became Ser Duncan after being knighted by Ser Arlan of Pennytree (Danny Webb), whom he traveled with for years – and whom very few people in Westeros have ever heard of. Since no one witnessed the knighthood, Dunk struggles to get anyone to take him seriously. Yet he strives for greatness.

Egg, a cute, bald boy, drives Dunk crazy. But he is also his only friend. Dunk first encounters the child at an inn where he sleeps on his way to a joust. Egg immediately displays a defiant streak, scolding Dunk when he asks for help with his horse and later mocking his clothes, truthfully telling Dunk that he doesn’t look like a knight. Still, he asks Dunk to take him in as his squire, hoping to leave the inn and see a little more of the world. Although Dunk refuses, Egg goes out on his own and essentially gives himself the job of squire, building a fire and cooking dinner at Dunk’s camp before returning for the night. And it is Egg who tells Dunk that he must go past Ser Duncan to gain more respect. They’re an odd couple, but they fit together well.

Ser Arlan is an elderly hedge knight who was Dunk’s mentor. After his death in the premiere, Dunk takes Arlan’s sword and heads to the tournament to become a knight himself.

Raymun is the squire and cousin of Ser Steffon Fossoway, a knight at the tourney.

Ashley (“The Lost City of Z,” “The Terror,” “Masters of the Air”) plays Steffon Fossoway. Ser Steffon was a knight and heir of House Fossoway of Cider Hall during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen and was one of the participants in the tournament at Ashford Meadow, a key event in George RR Martin’s ‘The Hedge Knight’ story of Ser Duncan and Egg.

Ing is best known for her role as Luke Curran in the Channel 4/Netflix comedy series ‘Lovesick’, playing Lyonel Baratheon. Lyonel, nicknamed ‘Laughing Storm’, was the Lord of Storm’s End and head of House Baratheon during King Aegon V Targaryen’s reign on the Iron Throne. He is a character from George RR Martin’s short story ‘Dunk and Egg’, ‘The Hedge Knight’, on which the HBO series is based. Ing’s other notable credits include ‘The Crown’, ‘Black Mirror’, ‘Sex Education’ and The Gentlemen

Australian actress Crawford (“Tiny Beautiful Things,” “Swift Street”) plays Tanselle. Nicknamed ‘Tanselle Too-Tall’ in George RR Martin’s ‘The Hedge Knight’ episode of his ‘Dunk and Egg’ stories, Tanselle was a Dornish puppeteer during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen.

Aerion Targaryen is the second eldest son of Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell). He is a grandson of the king, but he and his brothers are not eligible for the Iron Throne, as Maekar has an older brother, Baelor. Aerion is played by Finn Bennett, best known for HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” Netflix’s “Black Doves” and the 2025 film “Warfare.”

Baelor Targaryen is played by Bertie Carvel, whose credits include stage roles such as Miss Trunchbull in ‘Matilda the Musical’ and Rupert Murdoch in ‘Ink’ and film roles such as ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ (2021) and ‘The Crown’. He will next be seen as Cornelius Fudge in the HBO series ‘Harry Potter’.

In “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” Baelor is the eldest son of King Daeron II, making him the Crown Prince of Westeros.

Known for his work in the TV series ‘Fargo’ (2014), ‘Legend’ (2015) and ‘Small Ax’ (2020), Spruell Maekar plays I Targaryen. Not only does Maekar appear in George RR Martin’s ‘The Hedge Knight’, the source material for ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, but Martin’s main book series ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ is also referenced. He was the fourth son of King Daeron II Targaryen and was Prince of Summerhall and an army commander who served in two of the Blackfyre Rebellions.
