A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 2, is called Hard Salt Beef. Hard salt beef is the
kind of food that a hedge knight eats – it is tough, plain and simple – like a hedge
knight. Like how Ser Arlan was tough, plain and simple. In this episode, Dunk reflects on
the legacy of his father figure. We also meet three Targaryen princes – Baelor, Maekar and
Aerion. We meet two Kingsguard knights. We meet Lady Gwin. And the jousting tournament begins.
So who are these new characters, what’s the lore, and how does the show compare to the
book? This video has no spoilers. Except for the spoiler zone at the very end of this video.
To join the Ashford tournament, Dunk needs someone to vouch for him. He needs
someone who remembers Dunk’s dead master, Arlan. Dunk says Arlan was humble, simple man. There’s a
montage of Arlan riding, singing, and pissing with his enormous penis. His hard salt beef,
if you will. Showrunner Ira Parker declined to say whether that’s a prosthetic penis,
or is the actor’s actual prodigious dong. So this episode starts with a surprising graphic shock,
like the pooping in the first episode. Showing this show is more irreverent,
more earthy than the other Game of Thrones shows. Throughout the montage, Arlan has a bandaged
wounded arm. The same bandage he has when Dunk buries him. So this montage shows Arlan’s last
days. Maybe the wound contributed to his death. Dunk talks about Arlan with people from House
Hayford. Because thirteen years ago, Arlan served in Lord Hayford’s army. Arlan and Hayford fought
at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, helping the Targaryens defeat the Blackfyre rebellion. Prince
Baelor, Prince Maekar, and Bloodraven played key roles in the Targaryen victory. In this battle,
Arlan saw Lord Hayford killed by Lord Gormon Peake. Gormon Peake is important in a later book.
And Peake also killed Arlan’s nephew Roger. Roger was Arlan’s squire. So it was because of Roger’s
death that Arlan needed Dunk to be his new squire. Ten thousand men died on the Redgrass Field. They
sing songs of the heroism of Prince Baelor and Prince Maekar. But no one
sings songs for Roger. And the Hayfords don’t remember Arlan. They refuse to vouch for Dunk.
Arlan also served the Tyrells. We meet Lord Leo Tyrell, nicknamed Longthorn. He’s related to
Margaery and Loras Tyrell. In the book, Leo’s described as a slender greybeard, with silver
hair, wearing green and gold. In the show he looks more gruff and dresses simply. Leo Longthorn is
said to be one of the best jousters ever. Lord Leo also won victories in the Blackfyre Rebellion.
Leo is the most powerful lord here. Because the Tyrells are the Lords
Paramount of the Reach. They rule this whole region. Leo is Lord Ashford’s boss.
Years ago, Arlan and Dunk served the Tyrells at Highgarden. Arlan often spoke of Leo. But Leo
says he doesn’t remember Arlan. Or doesn’t care. Leo spits, and his teeth are stained
red – looks like he’s chewing sourleaf, which is a drug in Westeros, like chewing tobacco.
Arlan served and bled for so many men, but none of them remember him. Dunk wants to believe that
his father figure was a great knight, at least a good knight. But Egg says if no one remembers him,
Arlan must’ve been a shit knight. Though Egg is sympathetic to Dunk’s pain. Arlan died like two
days ago – Dunk is still grieving his dead master. In this episode, Dunk reflects on Arlan’s legacy,
and faces the flaws of his father figure. Egg has an angry outburst, saying Dunk should
defy the lords, challenge Longthorn and shove a lance up his arse. For a young peasant boy,
Egg is very bold, outspoken, even aggressive. Kid’s full o beans. But Egg scampers away when
the Targaryens arrive. In the book, Dunk thinks that Egg must be too shy to see the princes.
Four Targaryen princes arrive at Ashford. This is Prince Baelor Targaryen. Baelor is the eldest son
of King Daeron, so Baelor’s the heir to the Iron Throne. Baelor is Hand of the King, so he helps
the king rule, he’s the second-most powerful man in the realm. Baelor is a great warrior,
said to be one of the finest knights alive. He’s nicknamed Breakspear, after he defeated
Daemon Blackfyre at a tourney. Baelor is seen as wise and honourable, a charismatic and effective
leader. Though some people don’t trust Baelor, because Baelor doesn’t have pale blonde Targaryen
hair. Baelor has the dark hair of his Dornish mother, Myriah Martell. In the books, Baelor has
a crooked twice-broken nose – it makes him look less like a perfect prince, more down to earth,
more human. Baelor dresses plainly, but he has a “sense of power and certainty”. Showrunner Ira
Parker says Baelor is “reserved and thoughtful and kind and honest”, while also being “a big dog”.
Lord Ashford greets Prince Baelor – this is a big opportunity for Ashford to network, hob-nob,
suck up build relationships with the royal family. In the background, we can see Prince Valarr
Targaryen, Baelor’s eldest son. Valarr has dark hair but with a cool blonde streak.
Valarr is called “the Young Prince”, and he’s second in line to the Throne.
This is Prince Maekar Targaryen. Maekar is the fourth son of King Daeron and Queen Myriah.
Maekar is way down the line of succession – he’s less important. And Maekar hates that.
He feels overshadowed by his older more popular brother. In the book, Maekar has custom personal
heraldry – instead of using the normal Targaryen dragon sigil, Maekar uses four Targaryen dragons,
because he’s the fourth son. In the book, Maekar is a strong warrior. He’s “Thickly
built and powerful”, with silvery Targaryen hair, wearing silver-studded leather. He’s a hard man,
harsh, and proud. The actor, Sam Spruell, was forty-seven when this was filmed. But in the book,
Maekar is just in his early thirties. He’s the younger brother of Baelor. Maekar is the
father of Prince Daeron, Prince Aerion, Prince Aegon, and Prince Aemon – who we see as Maester
Aemon in Game of Thrones. “my father was Maekar”. This is Prince Aerion Targaryen. The second son of
Prince Maekar. In the book, Aerion is about 16 or 17 years old. Aerion is beautiful, with “Curls of
silver-gold hair”, violet eyes, and a sculpted imperious face. Aerion wears bright flamboyant
clothes in the book – Aerion calls himself “Brightflame”. And Aerion has custom personal
heraldry – Aerion’s dragon has heads coloured red orange and yellow, and his dragon breathes golden
flame. But in the show, Aerion is less colourful. Show Aerion has short hair and black clothes,
like a douchey little goth kid. Aerion is rude to Dunk, acting all superior and insulting.
Aerion wrongly thinks Dunk is a stableboy. Like how Dunk thought Egg was a stableboy. Aerion
carelessly leaves his horse, the horse kicks a bloke, and Dunk calms the horse. Dunk is more
comfortable with horses than with princes. Then Dunk meets two Kingsguard knights – Ser
Roland Crakehall and Ser Donnel of Duskendale. Dunk is starstruck. Dunk is a lowly hedge knight,
while Kingsguard are seen as the greatest knights in the realm. This is like a local street
basketballer meeting LeBron and Steph Curry. Roland and Donnel wear white Kingsguard armour.
Throughout Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, we’ve seen many different designs of
Kingsguard armour – usually gold or silver. This new design is much closer to the books.
In the books, Kingsguard wear all white armour. White enamlled steel, white cloaks,
white shields. Coz white symbolises purity, the total loyalty and obedience of the Kingsguard
to the royal family. These guys dedicate their lives to protecting the royals. They’re meant to
be the perfect knights, paragons of honour and chivalry. But Roland and Donnel aren’t perfect
storybook knights. They are irreverent. They say Prince Aerion is temperamental. They make fun of
Dunk’s height. And Roland asks where’s the best place to shit. Coz even a Kingsguard knight..
poops! Like Dunk! That innkeep last episode was right – no matter how great and fancy they are,
knights are just the same as other men. Roland comes from a fancy noble family,
House Crakehall. The Crakehalls come from the westerlands, they’re sworn to the Lannisters.
In the main books, there’s a Crakehall nicknamed Strongboar who Jaime Lannister thinks is one of
the strongest knights in Westeros. So Roland is a fancy lad. But Donnel
is not from a noble family. He’s from the city of Duskendale, but he’s not from House Darklyn
who rule Duskendale. Roland’s family are just crabbers. They’re common-born. Dunk is surprised,
and inspired – he asks how a commoner could join the Kingsguard. Dunk wants to believe
it’s possible for lowborn people to rise high. Donnel says he joined the Kingsguard the same
way his family became crabbers. Later, Egg reveals that Donnel’s father is not just some commoner,
he’s a very rich merchant. So maybe Donnel’s father’s money and influence is how Donnel
got into the Kingsguard. As we see in House of the Dragon, sometimes politics affects the Kingsguard,
corrupting its ideals of pure skill and service. Is there any fair honest way that a commoner
like Dunk can make something of himself? The dialogue with Roland and Donnel is not in the
book. In the book, Dunk just asks if Roland and Donnel are competing in the tournament. And he’s
relieved to learn that they’re not competing. Dunk doesn’t want to joust against Kingsguard knights.
In the background, we see a third Kingsguard knight – this is Ser Willem Wylde.
Dunk sees an open door into Ashford castle – an opportunity – and he follows a servant
inside. Dunk listens to a conversation between Prince Baelor and Prince Maekar.
Maekar complains that he has to be here at this tournament. Their father King Daeron ordered
them to attend. Showrunner Ira Parker says the Targaryens feel they have to attend these kinds of
events because the Targaryens don’t have dragons any more. The Targaryens are not as powerful. So
they have to do more to assert their power, to network, to be seen as the authorities in charge.
We learn that two of Maekar’s sons are missing. Maekar’s eldest son Daeron,
and his youngest son Aegon, were meant to be here at the tournament. Maekar commanded Prince Daeron
to ride in the tourney. But Daeron didn’t want to compete – he’d rather ride a whore than ride
a horse. Prince Daeron is Maekar’s firstborn son, his heir, but Maekar sees Daeron as a
disappointment. He says he’ll make Daeron change, or he’ll kill his son. Maekar’s harsh parenting
is like Randyll Tarly’s harsh treatment of his son Samwell. Or Tywin’s harshness with Tyrion.
There are a lot of harsh dads in these books. Baelor mentions his brothers Aerys and Rhaegel.
Aerys is the second son of King Daeron. Aerys is a weird nerd who’s obsessed with old books
and prophecies. Fans speculate that Aerys might know about Azor Ahai, the prophesied hero who’ll
save the world from the white walkers. King Viserys talks about this in House of the Dragon.
Prince Rhaegel is the third son of King Daeron. Rhaegel is said to be “mad” and “meek”. “Rhaegel
prances naked through the Red Keep’s halls”. So this is a.. colourful dysfunctional family.
Most of Maekar and Baelor’s dialogue in this scene is word-for-word from the book.
Though they do make Maekar swear more, emphasising his harsh blunt personality.
Dunk meets Gwin Ashford, the daughter of Lord Ashford. This entire tournament is meant to
be a celebration of Gwin’s thirteenth birthday. But Gwin is left alone. The
lords are ignoring the birthday girl – cause the tourney’s not really about her,
it’s about the powerful lords and the knights. So Gwin makes her own fun, by messing with Dunk,
and excitedly saying that Prince Daeron and Prince Aegon might be dead. Then she scampers off. Gwin
seems similar to Arya – a rebellious girl making mischief instead of acting like a lady.
In the book, Gwin doesn’t speak. She doesn’t even have a name. She’s described as a “short girl
with yellow hair and a round pink face”, and Dunk thinks that Tanselle is prettier than her. But in
the show, they give the birthday girl her moment. Dunk asks Baelor to let him join the tournament.
Cause Dunk knows that Baelor once jousted against Arlan. So Dunk hopes Baelor remembers Arlan,
and will vouch for Dunk as a knight. That’s why Dunk comes in here,
that’s his plan from the start. “I have an idea”. And this is a change from the book. In the book,
Dunk doesn’t have a plan. He doesn’t deliberately approach the princes. Book
Dunk is too nervous and humble to speak to a prince. Book Dunk accidentally wanders in here,
looking for Plummer. He doesn’t recognise the princes until the last minute – book Dunk is
oblivious, and it’s funny. But in this scene in the show, Dunk is more smart, brave and assertive,
because he deliberately approaches Prince Baelor. Luckily, Baelor does remember Arlan. Baelor
remembers that Arlan defeated Lord Stokeworth in a tournament melee. In a joust, Arlan defeated Damon
Lannister, who is now Lord of Casterly Rock. And Arlan jousted against Baelor. Arlan claimed that
they broke seven lances before Baelor defeated Arlan. But Baelor says it was only four lances.
So Arlan exaggerated – Arlan was not as skilled as he claimed – which continues the idea this episode
that Arlan was not as great as Dunk thinks. Maekar is surprised that Baelor remembers
Arlan. Maekar doesn’t pay attention to random lowborn people, they are beneath him. But Baelor
is an unusually kind, empathetic prince. Baelor cares about people, even lowborn people. And he
decides that Dunk can join the tournament. So Baelor is different to corrupt assholes
like Ser Manfred and Ser Steffon and Prince Aerion. Baelor is not immoral and rude. Baelor
is kind and chivalrous, he behaves like a knight and a prince is meant
to behave. Maybe there are true knights in this world. Maybe there are good Targaryens.
Dunk is awkward with the princes. He says the wrong things. Like,
he clumsily says that he hopes Prince Daeron and Aegon aren’t dead. Stupidly repeating
what Gwin said. But Dunk is honest, and polite, and he gets a win – he can join the tournament.
Then Dunk watches another play by Tanselle’s puppeteers. This is a story of Florian and
Jonquil – who are popular fairy tale characters in Westeros. Florian is a fool, like a jester,
but he’s also a heroic knight. Florian says “all men are fools, and all men are knights,
where women are concerned”. Because everyone has idealistic feelings, we all have hopes and
dreams. Men especially, perhaps, want to be heroes, want to be strong like knights want
to save maidens from evil dragons. Romantic in the sense of Romanticism. And these feelings
aren’t logical. Dreams aren’t realistic. But our foolish hopes and dreams are part of what
makes us human. This story argues that foolish idealism and romanticism is the heart of heroism.
The puppet of Florian looks like Dunk. Because Dunk is also a foolish idealistic hero. Dunk
says this episode that he is a fool. And Dunk has a crush on Tanselle, just like Florian the
Fool loves Jonquil. Tanselle is the fair maid that Dunk wants to romance. Will this dream come true?
In Game of Thrones, Sansa loves the stories of Florian and Jonquil. Dontos Hollard says he is
her Florian, he’s the hero who will rescue her. But Dontos turns out to be a pawn of
Littlefinger. So life isn’t like a fairy tale. Sometimes real life is more complex
and corrupt. But to do any good in the world, we still need our foolish dreams, our foolish hope.
Baelor told Dunk that Dunk needs new heraldry on his shield. Dunk can’t use Arlan’s winged
chalice sigil, because Dunk isn’t Arlan’s son. So Dunk asks Tanselle to paint him new heraldry.
Since Dunk is thick as a castle wall, he didn’t think in advance what heraldry he wants. But with
Egg’s help, he decides he wants a sunset coloured background, because Arlan loved sunsets. And an
elm tree, like the one at their camp. With a shooting star above, like the one he saw with Egg.
Tanselle says she’s called Tanselle Too-Tall. Dunk says she’s not too tall, she’s just right
for–. Then he stops. Dunk might’ve been about to say ‘just right for me’, or ‘just right
for kissing’. In the book, Dunk remembers he kissed a tavern girl, but she was so short that
she had to sit on a table to reach Dunk’s lips. Tanselle is just the right height to kiss Dunk.
So Dunk is very sweet and innocent and awkward. He has no game. But Egg tries to be a good wingman.
Egg hopes to be a knight, but feels he’s too small. Dunk is big, but he’s a bit stupid.
Egg is smarter. So Dunk and Egg have different strengths, and different weaknesses. Which makes
them a good team, and good comedic duo. Lyonel gets Dunk and Egg to compete in
a tug of war. This scene isn’t in the book, it’s just a bit fun. Egg’s actor,
Dexter Sol Ansell, said this was the most fun day of filming, because no one listened to the
stunt coordinators and they did the tug of war for real. “And then one time he threw me in the air,
and my eye hit his nose”, “And then that's the day that George R.R. Martin is here.”
Dunk needs armour for the tournament. He would use Arlan’s armour, but Arlan’s is too small.
So Dunk goes to a blacksmith named Steely Pate. In the book, Pate is five feet tall,
with a black beard. Pate is basically a fantasy dwarf – who are often short, bearded smiths.
Pate says he doesn’t do fancy ornate armour –his helms aren’t shaped like winged pigs or foreign
fruit. In the book, Dunk sees a different armourer who makes elaborate fancy armour,
shaped like fantastical beasts, decorated with gold and silver. Pate’s simple, practical armour.
Suits Dunk’s personality. He’s not fancy. He’s plain, simple, and strong. True steel.
Pate asks for more money than Dunk can afford. So Dunk almost leaves defeated. But then Pate
feels sorry for Dunk, and offers him a cheaper price. It’s just like when Plummer felt sorry
for Dunk last episode. So Pate is kind, though Pate also gives Dunk a reality check – that Dunk
isn’t likely to be a champion in the tourney. To pay for the armour, Dunk sells a horse. He
can’t sell Thunder, cause he needs the warhorse for the tourney. He doesn’t sell Chestnut,
because she’s too old to be worth much money. So Dunk sells the palfrey, Sweetfoot. The book
says Sweetfoot carried Arlan “tirelessly over thousands of miles, all up and down the Seven
Kingdoms”. Dunk has been talking to Sweetfoot throughout the show. Sweetfoot is one of Dunk’s
best friends. She is his “Best girl”! So it’s an emotional goodbye. Dunk promises that if he wins
in the tourney, he’ll come and buy Sweetfoot back. Dunk pays extra money to buy Sweetfoot some oats
and an apple. In the book, Arlan said you should never love a horse. But Arlan didn’t
follow his own advice – Arlan also often spent money buying snacks for the horses.
In these scenes, Dunk has a shield on his back. Even though Dunk just gave his shield to Tanselle.
This seems be a continuity error. Dunk hopes that if he does well at
this tournament, he might get a job in a castle. As squire to a hedge knight,
Dunk never stayed in one place for long. In the book, Dunk fantasises about waking up in a bed
in the same room every day. He wants a more comfortable life, with better food. He says
he might get a job with the Targaryens. But Egg says that’s not realistic – the royal family
won’t employ a lowborn hedge knight. Dunk really is a dreamer, full of hope, like Florian the Fool.
Then, the jousting begins. Author George Martin wrote this book because he was inspired by the
jousting in the movie Ivanhoe. George wants this show to have the best jousting ever put to film.
The knights show off in their fancy armour and house colours. Leo Tyrell makes his horse
dance sideways. Lord Medgar Tully bites the head off a fish, because the Tully sigil is a trout.
Medgar Tully is related to Catelyn Lysa and Edmure Tully in Game of Thrones.
Lyonel Baratheon wears a big antlered helm. In the book, he’s called the “Laughing Storm”
because he laughs while he jousts, and he likes to knock the helmet decorations off his opponents,
and he throws them to the crowd, so Lyonel is popular with the people.
Prince Valarr Targaryen competes. In the book, he has a big red dragon decoration on his helmet.
There are lots of different ways that tournaments can be set up. But this is a jousting tournament
that starts with five champions: Androw Ashford, Robert Ashford, Humfrey Hardyng, Prince Valarr
Targaryen, and Lord Leo Tyrell. Challengers choose a champion to joust against. The goal is to knock
your opponent off their horse. When a knight goes down, they have the option of continuing to fight
on foot. If a challenger defeats a champion, the challenger becomes one of the five champions.
At the end of the tournament, the five final champions decide whether to crown Gwin Ashford
as the queen of love and beauty. And they probably will crown Gwin. It would be very rude not to.
In the book, the five champions have orange silk tied on their arm,
representing the favour of Gwin Ashford. The first five challengers are Lyonel Baratheon,
Abelar Hightower, Lord Damon Lannister the Grey Lion. Lord Medgar Tully. And Ser Tybolt Lannister.
It looks to be the same matchups as in the book. We see Valarr Targaryen defeat Abelar Hightower.
We see Humfrey Hardyng defeat Medgar Tully. Leo Tyrell falls, but then he gets back
on Medgar’s horse, and grabs a Hardyng shield. Which might be against the rules,
but it looks cool, so they allow it. In the book, we see more of this jousting.
Valarr defeats Lord Gawen Swann. Humfrey Hardyng defeats Joseth Mallister. Lord Leo Tyrell defeats
Lord Pearse Caron in a dramatic melee battle. In the show, Dunk enjoys watching the jousting
at first. But then Dunk gets stressed out. Cause the knights look so powerful and so skilled.
How can Dunk possibly win against one of these champions? This episode started with flashbacks of
Arlan alive. But now there’s a flashback of Arlan dead. What if Dunk gets killed in this tourney?
What if Dunk fails and is forgotten, like Arlan? Dunk wanted to believe that his father figure
Arlan was “a great knight”. But now Dunk admits that Arlan wasn’t a great knight.
Arlan was unskilled, he was unpopular. He drank, he whored. But Arlan did do one good
thing. Arlan raised Dunk. Arlan taught Dunk the moral values of a true knight. So Dunk
accepts the bad in Arlan’s life, but honours the good in Arlan. Dunk says he is Arlan’s legacy,
and he’ll honour Arlan’s legacy by succeeding in the tournament. He’ll show what Arlan’s hand
has wrought. In the book, Dunk hopes to be more successful than Arlan, more than a hedge knight.
In the last shot of the episode, Dunk eats a bit of hard salt beef. It’s
plain simple and tough. Like Arlan. Like Dunk. This episode is pretty faithful to the book. The
dialogue with Tanselle, and Pate, is straight from the book. The Maekar and Baelor dialogue
is mostly the same in the book. Though the Arlan flashback, the Kingsguard dialogue, and the Dunk
and Egg scenes are invented for the show. There are also some changes to the jousting, like making
it happen at night. So overall this episode is mostly faithful, with some added scenes.
There’s still more to discuss about this episode. So my Blackfyre bastard brother, Alt Schwift X,
discussed this episode with Glidus. Each week, Glidus and Schwift make a video called Dunk Time,
about each episode of the show. They go over every scene in exacting detail, and they almost
never go on tangents. You can listen to Dunk Time right after A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms airs,
each Sunday night, on Nebula. Nebula has Dunk Time early and full-length. Nebula also has the
full-length Dragon Time videos discussing every episode of House of the Dragon. And Nebula has
The Fake Jon Snow, a 22-hour-long video about Jon Snow. And Nebula has an exclusive video
about Ivanhoe, the movie that inspired Dunk and Egg. This is over 60 hours of exclusive

below. Thank you. And enjoy Dunk Time. Now let’s talk spoilers. Spoiler warning
for all Game of Thrones shows and books. So Maekar’s sons Daeron and Aegon are missing.
We actually saw Daeron in Episode 1 – he was the drunk guy at the inn. And Aegon Targaryen is Egg.
Daeron didn’t want to join the tournament, so he ran off with Egg. And Egg joined Dunk so
he could be Dunk’s squire instead of Daeron’s. Egg hides his Targaryen identity so that he can
stay with Dunk. That’s why Egg suddenly leaves when the Targaryens arrive at Ashford – Egg
doesn’t want to be recognised by his family. Egg being a prince explains how Egg is
so knowledgeable. Like how he knows about Donnel of Duskendale’s father.
Egg also says this episode that Prince Valarr is not a great knight. And it makes sense that Egg
would know that because Egg is Valarr’s cousin. In this episode, Egg plays at fighting Blackfyres.
Which makes sense because it’s Egg’s Targaryen family who fought the
Blackfyres in the rebellion thirteen years ago. In the future, King Daeron and Prince Valarr die
in a plague. So Aerys becomes king. After he dies, Maekar becomes king.
Then Maekar dies in battle. So then Egg becomes king. King Egg is called “the Unlikely”, because
he was so far down the line of succession, no one expected him to become king. And in this episode,
Dunk says Egg is “a likely lad”. So calling him likely is a cute joke about Aegon “the Unlikely”.
In this episode, Egg is fascinated by Tanselle’s fire trick. Which makes sense,
because Targaryens like fire. And because Egg ultimately dies in a fire at Summerhall.
In this episode, Dunk is inspired by a commonborn man Donnel joining the Kingsguard. And in the
future, Dunk joins the Kingsguard of King Egg. So there are lots of little Easter eggs in this
episode that connect to the future of these characters.
