About this episode

The episode discusses the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novella 'The Hedge Knight' set in Westeros.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO and George R.R. Martin aren’t done with us yet. We’re heading back to Westeros to follow a new kind of story . Gone are the multi-generational tales of Kings , Queens , Empires and Dragons; this time we’re focusing on a single Hedgeknight and the little boy who wants to be his squire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adapts the first of the novellas that introduced these characters, and is a different direction for the whole Game of Thrones Behemoth . In this episode Dion is our Hedgeknight dujour, and Jill and Peta both show no interest at all of being his squire. Quinny is in a character entirely different book series.

Martin’s novella “The Hedge Knight,” a young and naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg, face a series of dangerous exploits. https://youtu.be/1qQtCQvvOpc As always, an chivalrous thank-you to all you Hedge-knights and hedge-days join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream , live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm…
