"George RR Martin wants to write ten or twelve Dunk and Egg books." *Press x to doubt*

It is also interesting to mention that Rohanne is an ancestor of Jamie and Dunk is an ancestor of Brienne, so you could say they reunite in some way after so many years

Most of Rohannes husbands: died in battle or because of plauge 3rd husband: *CHICKEN BONE*

"Hahahahaha" -Lyonel "the laughing storm" Baratheon

I like it when a story has two likeable characters in conflict.

“The Author G.R.R.M. Has talked about writing ten or 12 more Dunk & Egg Novelas” I like the enthusiasm but let’s get get Winds of Winter first chief

“It’s too hot to die.” -Dunk For some reason, my favorite line of the story

This man chose a kiss over a horse? I pray I’m never that down bad in my life.

Rohanne is Quaithe, everyone that goes missing in the series is Quaithe of course. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

My favorite story of his. You actually left out my favorite part, where Dunk tries to take the blame for the injured peasant and cuts his own cheek with a blade to attempt to technically satisfy Rohane's demand for blood to resolve the conflict peacefully.

I liked when Egg and Eustace were debating the merits of the Blackfyre Rebellion with Egg saying "The sword was not the kingdom."

Unless it is already revealed in canon, the answer to any ASoIaF mystery is "It was Bloodraven." So who set the forest on fire? It was Bloodraven.

Rohanne's reputation as a "monster" reminds me of Tyrion when Oberyn and Ellia Martell visit Casterly Rock to see this devil in flesh, an imp with a tail but instead come to see a normal baby. "He's not a monster", he told Cersei "He's just a baby".

In a world where George R R Martin will never finish his books...we must be thankful for Alt shift X GoT episodes. Praise be.

In this episode of the Adventures of Dunk and Egg, the gang unintentionally plays matchmaker.

It's crazy that reading this story, with the 1vs1 battle in the river amidst the blazing forest for this random peasant land in the middle of nowhere, felt more intense than the entirety of the Game of Thrones season 8. 😂 I just got chills learning that Rohanne is the great grandmother of the Lannisters of GoT.

Never noticed Rohanne had such a interesting life love learning from this channel

8:06 Anakin 😂 “From my point of view the loyalists are evil!” Dunk: “Then you are lost!”

I wish George RR Martin aged like Baby Yoda.

"Maybe they inherited her political skill.. except for Jaime.. and for Cersei when she's drunk.. and Tyrion in the last three seasons of a strangely surreal TV adaptation"

Doesn't matter how long the video is, if I see ASX, I click.

Wow I never Rohanne was Tywins grandmother. . This gives completely new perspective to The Sworn Sword and present day Lannisters overall. Thanks altshiftx!

I can’t overstate how great the Dunk and Egg stories are. They enrich and are in turn enriched by the main Ice and Fire storyline. But with (generally) smaller stakes at play, we get to learn more about those that are not tied to Great Houses and even learn more of the common folk Sworn Sword is the best of the three because it’s the furthest away from larger Westerosi politics, able to focus wholly on its characters as they learn nuanced life lessons.

"Takes a lock of her hair" Dunk: chops of half a braid

I was watching your old vid on Bolt-On yesterday since I’ve been re-reading. Crazy how much you’ve improved and continue to. Love these all so much!!!!!

Like the theory about Rohanne planning everything from the jump BUT you forgot to include the part where Dunk had to slap some humility into Rohanne with Egg's boot to even get to that duel (she was just going to steamroll them with an army originally lol)

Its nice to the romantic tension between Rohanne and Dunk kind of comes alive later. Rohanne being Jaimes ancestor and Dunk being Briannes Ancestor. Is it coincidence or sometype of magical love bond for those two to come together

My favorite moment in this story is when Dunk mouthes “clout in the ear” at Egg, and Egg grins at him ! 😆 I love it !

GRRM: Here's my life's work, with a rich backstory full of characters and relationships yet to be told. D&D: Okay, hear me out. Cersei gets killed by a brick!

I've been waiting for this ever since I watched the first video

Every year or so I come back and rewatch your videos. This story is definitely my favorite of the three novellas staring dunk and egg

*Slaps* HOW CAN YOU SLAP- That came outta no where, lol.

“I would sooner be the dragon’s friend.” She tried the ring on her finger. It was too big even for her thumb. “Dragon or no, I must have Bennis of the Brown Shield.” “No.” “You are seven feet of stubborn.” “Less an inch.” She gave him back the ring. “I cannot return to Coldmoat empty-handed. They will say the Red Widow has lost her bite, that she was too weak to do justice, that she could not protect her smallfolk. You do not understand, ser.” “I might.” Better than you know. “I remember once some little lord in the stormlands took Ser Arlan into service, to help him fight some other little lord. When I asked the old man what they were fighting over, he said, ‘Nothing, lad. It’s just some pissing contest.’” Lady Rohanne gave him a shocked look, but could sustain it no more than half a heartbeat before it turned into a grin. “I have heard a thousand empty courtesies in my time, but you are the first knight who ever said pissing in my presence.” Her freckled face went somber. “Those pissing contests are how lords judge one another’s strength, and woe to any man who shows his weakness. A woman must needs piss twice as hard, if she hopes to rule. And if that woman should happen to be small… Lord Stackhouse covets my Horseshoe Hills, Ser Clifford Conklyn has an old claim to Leafy Lake, those dismal Durwells live by stealing cattle… and beneath mine own roof I have the Longinch. Every day I wake wondering if this might be the day he marries me by force.” Her hand curled tight around her braid, as hard as if it were a rope, and she was dangling over a precipice. “He wants to, I know. He holds back for fear of my wroth, just as Conklyn and Stackhouse and the Durwells tread carefully where the Red Widow is concerned. If any of them thought for a moment that I had turned weak and soft…” Dunk put the ring back on his finger, and drew his dagger. The widow’s eyes went wide at the sight of naked steel. “What are you doing?” she said. “Have you lost your wits ? There are a dozen crossbows trained on you.” “You wanted blood for blood.” He laid the dagger against his cheek. “They told you wrong. It wasn’t Bennis cut that digger, it was me.” He pressed the edge of the steel into his face, slashed downward. When he shook the blood off the blade, some spattered on her face. More freckles, he thought. “There, the Red Widow has her due. A cheek for a cheek.” “You are quite mad.” The smoke had filled her eyes with tears. “If you were better born, I’d marry you.”

NOBODY tells a story like George I swear. I've read a lot of genres and authors, and George still has that special touch that few others have.

i'm hoping this get adapted to a series

I can’t decide if I love the preparation behind alt shift x or the concise literary analysis of alt shwift x.

i know nothing about game of thrones but this guy is such a good storyteller that i can’t stop watching.

I love how you expanded on the story by giving us the additional context of what happens to Rohanne according to TWOIAF. Great video as always Mr. Schwi... I mean Shift.

Saw the thumbnail and clicked immediately. Absolutely makes my day to watch these. Can’t wait till you can cover Winds of winter. Keep up the great work!

“Martin said he wants to write 10 or 12 books”. Like that’s ever gonna happen😂

*"A man like tywin is born once in a thousand year"*

George has that magic touch when writing powerful female characters.

man gerold really got both sides of that lannister gene

Been a while since Ive seen a new GoT video. Glad to have ya back.

I highly recommend the audiobook of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. They are very well written stories and Harry Lloyd does a fantastic reading of the book.

So, there was…1) Tyland Lannister who supported Aegon II, then became Hand of Aegon III 2) Rohanne’s Lannister husband handing out gold to help elect Aegon V 3) Tywin, a former Hand, giving orders to kill baby Aegon and lastly 4) Tyrion, also once Hand, briefly part of “Aegon’s” crew in Essos. Hmm…Handsy Lannisters and Aegons have quite a history.

Love to see it alt you really been the goat the last 5 years+

Let's go!! Love these videos so much! You honestly get better and better with each one and exceed my expectations every time!

Egg's drawing is so adorable ❤

These video essays you're making are a feast for the eyes, ears, and mind. You really crystallize what makes this series/world so special to us. Credit also of course to Mike S Miller. I'm not a graphic novel guy but I think I've got to have these

The amount of analysis you fit in these videos is truly on another level. I love watching you breakdown a story

I'm so glad that you made videos on these 3 novellas. There's so much that just went over my head after reading them, but you sum them all up extremely well.

"But, Dunk is bitter... It would've been nice if Rohanne and Eustace had made peace BEFORE Dunk had nearly FUCKIN' DIED for them..." LOL

Was going to sleep, this shows up in my KZfaq front-page, instantly clicks

When story ended it felt like a normal adventure, but after learning about its implications on the future on main story it almost became soo much interesting. Thanks for making the video.

*watches season 8* Duncan: Oak and iron, guard me well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Tales of Dunk and Egg, they are a breath of fresh air compared to the main books and more wholesome. I'd in some ways prefer to see these novellas completed over the main series (I doubt GRRM will actually finish ASOIAF), would be nice to have one of his Westeros based tales tell a completed narrative.

I love the Dunk and Egg stories. They give me this Don Quixote vibe of exploration and adventures. If anyone is aware of any other similar novels, please feel free to recommend them!

Hey, Alt is the man!! Every second of this video is well made!! Keep it up, mate!!!

Love how the video ends on 20:20 , Maybe Alt Shift X giving us hints of how the world will end 👀.

Thank you for covering D&E. Your vids always help me reframe the story and I feel I can enjoy the story even more with the new viewpoint. Please do book 3!!

I get a distinct feeling he's never going to finish A Song of Ice and Fire.

Thank you so much for doing The Sworn Sword, I'll be waiting for episode 3 of this mini-series!

LORD SHIFT! glad to hear your soothing & informative voice once again

Wow. I just finished listening to the audiobook of this series for the third time in a row last night (Harry Lloyd AKA Viserys does such an astounding job), so I hopped onto KZfaq to relisten to Alt Shift X’s review of The Hedge Knight. I fell asleep to it and was thinking I really hope he does all three. I had no idea this was already out. Merry Christmas to me

Please do part three!!!

Great coverage as always, it's simply a pleasure to watch your videos

Beautifully narrated as always, Alt

Never clicked so quick... and I read this book😂

I hadn’t caught on Rohanne’s family tree. Thanks! I always felt like the Sworn Sword was the weaker of the 3 stories, because the other 2 are so badass and directly tied into much greater events. Thank you for spelling out its importance to me!

Thank you for a new video Alt Shift X!

Please please please, more of this. I love listening to you summarize stories like this 😍

Have you ever thought of doing one of these videos on the Mistborn Series? I really enjoy your explanations

I was not aware of Rohanne's story after the Sworn Sword. Fascinating. Really looking forward to your video on the Mystery Knight. That will have to include a lot of conspiracy details...

So awesome!! The extra how Rohan is related to Jamee and cersai was brilliant!! ❤

Thanks for the summary. Excellent as usual!

Another excellent analysis, as one could expect from this channel. I'd like to add my 2 cents on the fact that Ser Bennis gets away with what he stole, when he tied up Stoops and his wife. I like that George opted not to have him detained and pay for his crimes, but rather show that shady people often escape justice, much like they would in real life. Perhaps they will cross paths in future stories, but I prefer this as a last encounter. It would imply that once Egg is King, the reward on Ser Bennis's head will make his life of banditry and outlawry much more difficult. With cutthroats hunting him behind every bush, his brown pants would match nicely with his shield! Thanks for sharing the video.

Shifty is back!!!

Excellent, as always. Thanks so much for your work.

Excellent analysis as always

Ah, politics in Westeros. Season 8 kind of forgot about politics in Westeros.

He doesn't sulk, he's being routh.

I've watched this so many times, great work!

Glad to see you’re back to making videos, love this channel been a subscriber for a while, I hope you do the third dunk and egg story as well.

I find it so hard to believe Egg would go mad and burn down Summerhall to hatch dragons. I really hope it turns out he got manipulated by a R'hllor priestess into doing it. We see Dunk get manipulated in the 2nd and 3rd stories, maybe Egg's hedge squire experience made him more susceptible.

GRRM plans to write so many books he needs to live at least for another 2000 years

So glad you´re covering AKotSK.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS

I wish they would of adapted these books into a tv show.

"And for Cersei, when she's drunk (Which is all of book 4)" Lol so true

It’s been while since I’ve been here... love you Alt Shift X, the best channel in KZfaq ❤️

My word, yet another splendidly made video, X. I, unfortunately, am one of the readers who misses a lot of the details, so every one of your videos is much appreciated!

i love dunk. my favorite line from him in the book was " KNACK 2 BABEEEEY"

I’d like to say that the episode you did on The Hedge Knight led me to buy the book (tkot7k) and all the graphic novels. Your work is dope, brother.

Thank you so much for your videos man, you're amazing and your content is beautiful.

Love all these videos amazing work

The X over Bloodraven’s eye is my favorite part.

"how can she slap?!?!" hahahaha i love it!

This has suddenly become one of my favourite channels on KZfaq
