Who’s Who in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Their Family Ties to Game of Thrones
'The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' delves into one of the most critical periods in the history of Westeros. Most of the characters we've come to know in the series turn out to be ancestors of the figures who shaped the destiny in 'Game of Thrones'.
In this tale, stretching from dragons to rebellions, from madness to games of thrones, everything is essentially shaped by blood ties. So, who is related to whom in 'A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms'? What is the connection between them and the GoT characters?
Come on, let's delve into the details together.
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has become a tailor-made opportunity for those yearning to return to the universe of Game of Thrones.
The series adapted from George R. R. Martin's Dunk & Egg stories managed to excite the audience, who were already yearning for Westeros, even before it was aired.
The series, which started airing on January 18, quickly sparked immense curiosity despite being in its early stages, with its trailers, character introductions, and debates over whether the 'GoT vibe is coming back?'. Its focus on human stories rather than grand battles, on dynastic ties, and on how fate is shaped in small moments, set the series apart.
For those who haven't yet watched it, let's note that 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' narrates the events approximately 90 years prior to 'Game of Thrones'.
So we're talking about an era where dragons have almost become the stuff of legend, the Targaryens still hold the throne, but their power is gradually beginning to waver.
At the heart of the story, we find a wandering knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk), and his mysterious young squire, Egg. Instead of grand lords, massive armies, and political intrigues, the focus is on tournaments, minor skirmishes, and the origins of the characters.
But don't worry: This is Westeros... Behind every smile lies a lineage, and behind every silence, a fate awaits.
For those who find this surname familiar, let's delve into it: Who in 'A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms' is related to the members of Game of Thrones?
Many of the characters we encounter in the series are ancestors or blood relatives of the big names we got to know in Game of Thrones.
The Targaryens, who are still on the throne in the series, represent the powerful yet fragile era of the dynasty whose downfall we witnessed in GoT. Madness, exile, and dragon ashes are still far away... for now.
The frequently mentioned Baratheons are the early links of a lineage that will eventually lead to Robert Baratheon. The seed of the rebellion that will shake the throne has already been sown.
Two houses we got to know closely in GoT through Samwell Tarly and Margaery Tyrell also feature in the background of Westeros politics in the series. Power, loyalty, and ambition... Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Now, let's get to the characters; to sum it up roughly...
Egg, who will later become King Aegon V Targaryen, is the great-great-grandfather of Daenerys Targaryen, whom we watched in Game of Thrones.
Maekar Targaryen; Egg's older brother. A stern, disciplined embodiment of royal responsibility. He is one of the symbols of the period when the Targaryen lineage started to crack. He happens to be the great-great-uncle of Daenerys Targaryen.
Aerys I Targaryen, the great-uncle of Aerys II Targaryen. So, he is from the family of Aerys, whom we know as the 'Mad King' in GoT.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms centers around Dunk, a hero who stands out with his tall stature, raw strength, and unshakeable moral stance. If this description sounds all too familiar to Game of Thrones viewers, there's a reason for it. A fleeting detail in the series' fifth episode 'In the Name of the Mother' establishes a subtle but strong connection between two significant knights of Westeros history. This connection extends to Brienne of Tarth, who appears approximately a century later in the Game of Thrones timeline. According to George R. R. Martin himself, Brienne of Tarth, whom we watched in Game of Thrones, is descended from Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk).
