How to watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
UK viewers can watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms exclusively via Sky and NOW TV.
It’ll air on Sky Atlantic, but you can catch up on-demand – or, in episode 4’s case, stream it early before its linear broadcast.
Similarly, US viewers can watch the show as it airs on HBO or stream the series on HBO Max.
What happened in episode 3?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 3 ended on a shocker: Egg was revealed to be Aerion’s brother, Aegon V Targaryen.
Before we got there, Dunk and Egg watched some jousting… and it went very wrong. Aerion deliberately killed Ser Humfrey Hardyng’s horse, enraging the crowd.
A fortune teller also told Egg that he would perish in a fire, and all those who knew him would “rejoice”.
Towards the end of the episode, Tanselle put on a local performance that featured a dragon being slain. Aerion, who sees himself as a dragon in human form, saw this as treason. So, he ordered his men to destroy her stall, and he broke her fingers.
Dunk couldn’t control himself. He attacked the prince, who then told his guards to knock out all of Dunk’s teeth. Thankfully, Egg stopped them.
“You impudent little rat. What’s happened to your hair?” Aerion asked. “I cut it off, brother. I didn’t want to look like you,” Egg replied.
