Did 'Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Just Confirm A Connection Between Brienne and Dunk?

Currently, the Game of Thrones universe is defined by Targaryen family. House of the Dragon follows the Dance of the Dragons succession battle between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Aegon II. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows Rhaenyra's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Maekar and his sons Aerion and Aegon, and then Game of Thrones picks up with Aegon's great-granddaughter Daenerys. However, that's not the only family connection between the different shows.

Who Is Dunk? Everything You Need To Know About Ser Duncan The Tall

We don't know much about Dunk's beginnings, but to be fair, he didn't know much either. He grew up an orphan in Flea Bottom, the slum near King's Landing. He had no idea who his parents were, but figured he was an orphan and probably a bastard. (Some fans suggest he could be related to Brienne of Tarth, since he was tall just like her, but that's still unconfirmed.) He made a life by scavenging all kinds of meat for establishments that made "bowls of brown," the go-to food of Flea Bottom.

A blink-and-you-miss-it scene in 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' ties Dunk to his most famous descendant

A blink-and-you-miss-it detail from episode five, "In the Name of the Mother," draws a subtle throughline between Dunk and another prominent knight from Westerosi history: Brienne of Tarth, who appears a century later in the "Game of Thrones" timeline. In a flashback scene, a young Dunk is shown walking down the kingsroad with his childhood friend, Rafe, returning to their home in King's Landing. This route runs for thousands of miles across Westeros, easing travel to and from the capital.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Boss Says Only 'Terminally Online Culture Warriors' Care About Controversies

In 2017, in the lead-up to the launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, developer Warhorse Studios was criticized by some online for not including people of color in the game. The studio defended this by claiming it was historically accurate that in early 15th-century Bohemia, especially in the countryside where the game was set, it was rare to see non-white people. Some scholars agreed, others weren't sure, and people online yelled about it, with some right-leaning gamers very invested in protecting the studio from the "woke agenda."
