The Fortune Teller’s Predictions About Dunk & Egg Explained (It Sets Up 1 of the Biggest Game of Thrones Mysteries)

This episode will be most remembered for revealing Egg’s true identity: he is actually Aegon Targaryen, the son of Prince Maekar and brother to Aerion, Daeron, and Aemon. However, before the reveal, the episode hints at his lineage when Dunk and Egg have their fortunes told by a woman at Ashford Meadow. The reading begins positively, but quickly becomes unsettling.

The Blackfyre Rebellion in Game of Thrones, Explained

In Season 1, Episode 3, titled “The Squire,” Egg performs a song detailing the First Blackfyre Rebellion, though the show simply refers to it as the “Blackfyre Rebellion” since the second one hasn’t occurred yet. The song recounts the story of his father and uncle, who fought against Daemon I Blackfyre, the illegitimate half-brother of their King, Daeron II. This rebellion helps explain the tense relationship between Baelor and Maekar, and future episodes in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will explore the consequences faced by those who supported Daemon Blackfyre.
