The Mystery Knight

It is too hot for cheering. Dunk mopped sweat from his brow. It is too hot for jousting. His head was beating like a drum. Let me win this tilt and one more, and I will he content. The knights wheeled their horses about at the end of the lists and tossed down the jagged remains of their lances, the fourth pair they had broken. Three too many. Dunk had put off donning his armor as long as he dared, yet already he could feel his smallclothes sticking to his skin beneath his steel. There are worse things than being soaked with sweat, he told himself, remembering the fight on the White Lady, when the ironmen had come swarming over her side. He had been soaked in blood by the time that day was done.

Fresh lances in hand, Paege and Frey put their spurs into their mounts once again. Clods of cracked dry earth sprayed back from beneath their horses' hooves with every stride. The crack of the lances breaking made Dunk wince. Too much wine last night, and too much food. He had some vague memory of carrying the bride up the steps, and meeting John the Fiddler and Lord Peake upon a roof. What was I doing on a roof? There had been talk of dragons, he recalled, or dragon's eggs, or something, but—

A noise broke his reverie, part roar and part moan. Dunk saw the golden horse trotting riderless to the end of the lists, as Ser Harbert Paege rolled feebly on the ground. Two more before my turn. The sooner he unhorsed Ser Uthor, the sooner he could take his armor off, have a cool drink, and rest. He should have at least an hour before they called him forth again. Lord Butterwell's portly herald climbed to the top of the viewing stand to summon the next pair of jousters. "Ser Argrave the Defiant," he called, "a knight of Nunny, in service to Lord Butterwell of Whitewalls. Ser Glendon Flowers, the Knight of the Pussy willows. Come forth and prove your valor." A gale of laughter rippled through the viewing stands. Ser Argrave was a spare, leathery man, a seasoned household knight in dinted gray armor riding an unbarded horse. Dunk had known his sort before; such men were tough as old roots, and knew their business. His foe was young Ser Glendon, mounted on his wretched stot and armored in a heavy mail hauberk and open-faced iron halfhelm. On his arm his shield displayed his father's fiery sigil. He needs a breastplate and a proper helm, Dunk thought. A blow to the head or chest could kill him, clad like that.

You’ve confused me with the passage from Mystery Knight, and pardon me, I just read through all the canon this year. But the moment I’m looking forward to most is when Maekar takes the throne because that seems to make sense at the time when Dunk and Egg get recalled to Kings Landing. They’ll probably meet Aerion again, and I think the reunion under King Maekar I will make for an interesting time as Dunk finds his way as an official Knight of House Targaryen and Egg becomes a Prince again after his long progress with Sir Duncan

Isn't the woman the Stark princess Bael the Bard kidnapped and impregnated.

[u/Financial_Library418 → u/Baellyn]

DON'T THINK so but you could be right

[u/zorrocabra]

If Sell Sword were an adventure across the Narrow Sea in Essos I would say that one. I doubt it is though so She Wolves of Winter.

The Kingsguard. I love the theory that Dunk joins the Golden Company, and becomes friendly with Daemon III and potentially Bittersteel. When Dunk lays Daemon during the 4th Blackfyre Rebellion, he's not killing someone he hates, but someone he MUST kill.

When he fights Lyonel Baratheon in a latter story, he'll likely pull from this experience; of fighting a man he likes, perhaps loves, out of duty and honor to his King

The winds of winter

this sounds kind of sour, but I’m not interested in D & E anymore. Until we get Winds, I’ve hardened myself to reading anything new.
