Dunk may have taken a breather when the Targaryens arrive on the scene, but he’s coming to realize that knighthood isn’t the only thing that matters. Photo: Stephen Hill I confess. I like George R.R.

They’re mostly just stories about Ser Duncan trying to find his place in Westeros with the help of a small bald squire.
