In the newest episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/a>, Lyonel Baratheon foreshadows a major upcoming story \u2014 but if it happens, it probably won\u2019t be until Season 10. The Song of Ice and Fire franchise is no stranger to foreshadowing. Both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon use subtle instances of it to tease larger events. (In fact, Game of Thrones does so as early as its pilot episode, with its dead stag and direwolf hinting at Robert Baratheon\u2019s and Ned Stark\u2019s fates.) <\/p>\n

And judging by A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1, Episode 4<\/a>, the spinoff series is following its predecessors\u2019 leads. It\u2019s well ahead of the game, too, alluding to something that won\u2019t happen for many seasons. It\u2019s easy to miss. However, when Lyonel Baratheon shows up to help Ser Duncan the Tall in his trial of seven<\/a>, he utters a line that sets up a confrontation between the pair many years later. Warning: SPOILERS ahead for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 and where the series will go, based on George R.R. Martin\u2019s The World of Ice and Fire. <\/p>\n

Lyonel Baratheon Just Teased His Upcoming Duel With Dunk<\/p>\n

As Dunk gathers men to fight alongside him in his trial of seven, Lyonel Baratheon shows up with an air of excitement about taking on Prince Aerion\u2019s team. After revealing that Egg is the one who fetched him, he tells Dunk, \u201cI wasn\u2019t about to miss a chance to bloody up the Kingsguard in their pretty white gowns.\u201d Since House Targaryen<\/a> is currently in power in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms \u2014 and several princes will be on the opposing side \u2014 it\u2019s no surprise that they\u2019ll be facing members of the Kingsguard as well.<\/p>\n

And while the Laughing Storm\u2019s sentiment proves he likes a challenge, it serves another purpose: it quietly foreshadows a later duel referenced in George R.R. Martin\u2019s The World of Ice and Fire. Over 30 years after A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/a>, when Egg sits on the Iron Throne, the king arranges to have his heir marry Lyonel\u2019s daughter. Similar to Robb Stark, the prince goes back on this and weds a commoner. And in response, Lyonel launches a rebellion against the throne, which only ends when he faces Ser Dunk in a trial by combat and yields to him.<\/p>\n

At this point in time (237 AC), Dunk is the Lord Commander of Egg\u2019s Kingsguard, so Lyonel will get another opportunity to face one if its members \u2014 though it won\u2019t go as he hopes. It\u2019ll make for a tense confrontation on-screen, however, even if we\u2019re forced to wait for it. <\/p>\n

Lyonel & Dunk Likely Won\u2019t Face Each Other Until A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 10<\/p>\n

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms showrunner Ira Parker recently outlined a massive 15-season plan for the Game of Thrones spinoff<\/a>, which would pick up at different points of Dunk\u2019s and Egg\u2019s lives. The first few seasons would release relatively close to one another, adapting Egg\u2019s time as Dunk\u2019s squire in Martin\u2019s current three novellas. Then, Parker would like to make more seasons years later, as the stars get older. He told Esquire<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope George keeps writing these. The truth is\u2014and I\u2019ve pitched this to HBO with a couple very polite eye rolls\u2014I want to do four or five now with Egg as a kid. Then, I want to come back in ten years and do four or five more seasons\u2026 And with real Dexter [Ansell] and real Peter, just the age that they are at that point. Then, we\u2019ll come back ten years after that and do well, Egg the adult. So, it would be over the course of their lifetime. And mine too.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an ambitious plan, and if it actually happens, it could bring Dunk\u2019s showdown with Lyonel to the screen. Based on this breakdown, however, it wouldn\u2019t happen until somewhere between Seasons 9 and 11. It would be early into Egg\u2019s reign, but it would still need to wait until the outings when he\u2019s an adult and running the Seven Kingdoms. Lyonel\u2019s Episode 4 line is a fun way to reference it, though, even if the spinoff never gets to that. It\u2019s clear the people behind A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms know their lore, and that in itself is promising.<\/p>\n
