A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: What happened in Episode 4?
Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms left things hanging in a way that is hard to ignore. Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, is preparing to face Prince Aerion Targaryen, played by Finn Bennett, in a Trial of Seven. It is an old and unforgiving ritual where the accused stands with six allies against the accuser and his chosen six, leaving the outcome to the judgment of the Seven Gods. Dunk lands in this position after striking Aerion for hurting Tanselle, a puppeteer he has come to care for.
