Team Black this, Team Green that!

You bolt awake at Ashford Meadow. It is 209 AC. You are Raymun Fossoway. The past does not matter, but the future honor of House Fossoway does. Your rotten cousin must be struck down.

Raymun Fossoway and Edmure Tully would make great friends.

The Revelation of Aegon V

He is mad, thought Dunk, but he is still a prince’s son, and he means to kill me. He might have prayed then, if he had known a prayer all the way through, but there was no time. There was hardly even time to be afraid. “Nothing more to say?” said Aerion. “You bore me, ser.” He poked at his bloody mouth again. “Get a hammer and break all his teeth out, Wate,” he commanded, “and then let’s cut him open and show him the color of his entrails.” “No!” a boy’s voice said. “Don’t hurt him!” Gods be good, the boy, the brave foolish boy, Dunk thought. He fought against the arms restraining him, but it was no good. “Hold your tongue, you stupid boy. Run away. They’ll hurt you!” “No they won’t.” Egg moved closer. “If they do, they’ll answer to my father. And my uncle as well. Let go of him, I said. Wate, Yorkel, you know me. Do as I say.” The hands holding his left arm were gone, and then the others. Dunk did not understand what was happening. The men-at-arms were backing away. One even knelt. Then the crowd parted for Raymun Fossoway. He had donned mail and helm, and his hand was on his sword. His cousin Ser Steffon, just behind him, had already bared his blade, and with them were a half-dozen men-at-arms with the red apple badge sewn on their breasts. Prince Aerion paid them no mind. “Impudent little wretch,” he said to Egg, spitting a mouthful of blood at the boy’s feet. “What happened to your hair?” “I cut it off, brother,” said Egg. “I didn’t want to look like you.”

self indulgent info dump about the hedge knight

I did this in a couple of hours and used the Hedge Knight as my only source for everything. If you see any mistakes please kindly correct me! This is mainly for me because I can't stop thinking about the Hedge Knight and want to do a project related to it, so here's everything I think I would need for it.

(contents: a [long] summary of the hedge knight, every named character, all of the tourney matches, the trial by 7 teams and deaths)

SUMMARY:

Ser Arlan of Pennytree, a hedge knight (or wandering knight), dies of a chill. His squire, Dunk is the only one who can bury him, and Dunk buries him facing the sunset, as he reflects on Ser Arlan's life. Dunk mourns the old man, yet continues taking their horses Thunder, Chestnut, and Sweetfoot, as well as Ser Arlan's sword and remaining money. He stops by an inn where he is near attacked by a drunk man, and where a bald boy called Egg demands to be his squire, but Dunk refuses because he did not want to ruin the boy's life. Dunk goes to the grand tourney at Ashford, hoping to earn some money, and Egg follows him. Dunk takes Egg as his squire, because of Egg's willpower.

At Ashford Dunk sells his horse, Sweetfoot, so that he can afford armor. He meets the cousins Ser Steffon Fossoway and his squire, Raymun Fossoway. However, he is not able to enter the lists for the tourney since no one can prove his knighthood; that is until the Hand of the King and heir to the throne Baelor Breakspear, vouches for him, after recalling how Ser Arlan broke 4 lances against him. However Prince Baelor's brother, Prince Maekar is dismissive of Dunk and is worried for his two missing sons, Prince Daeron and Prince Aegon. Dunk enters but only for the 3rd day, so he will have a better chance at winning.

On the 1st day, many jousts happen. The final joust is when Prince Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen, grandson of King Daeron, nephew of Prince Baelor, and son of Prince Maekar uses his lance to kill Ser Humfrey Hardyng's horse. It's dishonorable and Humfrey breaks his leg in the fall. Ser Humfrey is declared the champion. That night, Prince Aerion attacks the puppeteer (Tanselle "Too-Tall) that Dunk has a crush on, because her show involved a dragon (the crest of House Targaryen) getting killed. Egg calls Dunk, and Dunk beats up Prince Aerion. When Dunk gets seized by the guards, Egg reveals himself to be Prince Aerion's younger brother, Prince Aegon Targaryen.

Aerion wants to behead Dunk, and Maekar finds his son, Prince Daeron who was supposed to accompany Egg, and Prince Daeron says that a robber knight took him so his father would not be disappointed in him. Daeron withdraws his accusation and tells Dunk that he dreamed of Dunk with a dead dragon, and that Daeron's dreams come true. Dunk demands a trail by combat and Aerion demands a trail by seven. (Teams listed on the bottom of this post.)

Baelor Breakspear fought against the Kingsguard, since the Kingsguard are bound by their vows to never harm a member of the Royal Family. Aerion fought against Dunk, since Aerion was Dunk's main accuser. Daeron was unhorsed by Ser Robyn. Prince Baelor drove down one of the Kingsguard, and it is implied he also did so to another Kingsguard and his brother, Prince Maekar. Aerion unhorsed Dunk, however Dunk was able to beat Aerion using tactics he learned from Flea Bottom. Aerion withdrew his accusation.

Afterwards, Dunk is heavily injured and the two Humfreys are dead. After Prince Baelor's helmet was removed, his brains fell out and he died. When Dunk is healed he attends the funeral, and the new heir to the throne, Prince Valarr, Baelor's eldest son asks Dunk why his father died for a hedge knight. Prince Maekar revealed to Dunk he accidentally killed his brother, even though he loved his brother and expressed his sadness and regret. Maekar told Dunk he sent Aerion to Lys, and he offered Dunk a position in his household, but Dunk declined. Instead, Dunk asks to take Prince Aegon as his squire, and continue to live as a poor hedge knight, as long as he continued to use the nickname "Egg."

LYONEL BARATHEON

Lyonel Baratheon, known as the Laughing Storm, was the Lord of Storm's End and the head of House Baratheon during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen. Lyonel was a "swaggering giant of a man"; he is described as being a head taller than Ser Raymun Fossoway and almost as tall as Ser Duncan the Tall, who was measured at 6'11". In tourneys, Lyonel wore a cloth-of-gold surcoat bearing the crowned stag of his house, and had an antlered helm. He had the habit of laughing loudly of his opponents which earned him his nickname of "the Laughing Storm" and made him a great favorite of the smallfolk. Lyonel was considered one of the finest fighters of his day. Lyonel brought glory onto House Baratheon.

Lyonel was a leal supporter of King Aegon V Targaryen when he was Lord of Storm's End, so the king was pleased to arrange a betrothal of his eldest son and heir, Prince Duncan Targaryen, to Lord Lyonel's daughter.

Prince Duncan later broke that betrothal when he fell in love and married the commonborn Jenny of Oldstones. This enraged Lord Lyonel, who felt the honor of House Baratheon was insulted. He renounced his fealty to the Iron Throne and declared himself Storm King. A short rebellion followed, which ended when Lyonel yielded to Ser Duncan the Tall of the Kingsguard during a trial by battle. Prince Duncan renounced his claim to the throne, and King Aegon agreed to betroth his youngest daughter, Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, to Lyonel's heir, Ormund Baratheon. Aegon V sent Rhaelle to Storm's End as Lord Lyonel's cupbearer and companion to his lady wife.

Lyonel had at least one daughter. His relation to his heir and successor, Lord Ormund Baratheon, is currently unknown. As well as his relation to Gowen Baratheon, the third son of a Lord of Storm's End reigning roughly at the time when Lyonel was the heir to Storm's End.

Have your read Dunk and Egg stories (The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mysterious Knight) ? If you have, I would like to know what is your opinion in general and which story is your favorite? What about the characters, maybe top 5?

Personally, I love these short novels and prefer them even to the main series. The characters are so well written, and not just the main duo (and I adore them, especially Egg) but also the side characters, e. g. Bloodraven, Maekar, Baelor, Raymun Fossoway... Furthermore, they are making a TV show based on these stories and Dunk and Egg have already been cast. Idk if you've seen this, but if you have, what do you think about the actors they chose? To me they look perfect, just like I imagined them while reading.

Anyway, sorry if I ask too many questions 😅. Thanks in advance!

Hey bestie!! Omg you’re the same person who sent all those asks?? I LOVE YOU!! Would you like to choose an emoji so I can know who you are based on that?

Also, sorry to disappoint this time but I haven’t read any of these😭😭😭 I’m getting back into reading slowly but nowadays I’m either writing of studying so I don’t have time to read much:(

Could you send me the name of the authors as well so I can add these to my reading list?

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

The Hedge Knight graphic novel - could it work as a roadmap for HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

So, per reports, HBO's Dunk & Egg show is going to be 6 episodes. I've seen several people saying that's too long, it should be 4 episodes at most, a 2 hour movie at most, there will be too much filler, blah blah blah. Well let me tell you, that's not true!

In 2003, The Hedge Knight was adapted as a 6 issue comic book (later collected as a graphic novel), and I think its script, each issue ending in a cliffhanger or dun-dun-dunnn moment, would work perfectly for the show, and is very probably how they'll do it.

Potential spoilers under the cut, but first - is this not perfect casting and costuming? It so is.

Like I said, I think each issue could be the plot of each episode. So I'm just going to summarize these issues, I hope you've read the GN or the novella. (If not, go read it, go read all of Dunk & Egg, it's so good.)

#1 - Dunk buries Ser Arlan, decides to go to Ashford for the tourney, meets Egg and a weird drunk guy at an inn on the way, gets to Ashford, sets up camp in the forest (bathes naked in a stream), goes to the tourney field and sees Tanselle performing her puppet show, gets measured for armor he can't quite afford, gets back to his camp to find the weird little bald kid making dinner.

#2 - Dunk agrees Egg can be his squire, that night he sees the falling star, next morning goes to Ashford castle and gets told he needs to prove he's a knight to enter the tourney (or that Arlan was, since he says Arlan knighted him), meets Aerion (badly) but also the Kingsguard, sells his horse for armor money, talks to Tanselle and meets the Fossoways, then meets up with the young Dondarrion lord whose dad Arlan worked for and relates the House Dondarrion origin story (imagine them telling that via puppet imagery, ooh), gets told "yeah knowing that is no proof you're a knight, sucks to be you".

#3 - Dunk goes back to the castle, stumbles into Baelor and Maekar arguing about M's missing kids, Baelor remembers his epic joust with Arlan so yay Dunk can be in the tourney, Dunk and Egg talk to Tanselle about painting him a shield, they watch the opening of the tourney (lots of jousting and pageantry including Lyonel "the Laughing Storm" Baratheon), and the first day ends after Aerion deliberately kills that horse.

#4 - Dunk argues with Egg over how much of a douche Aerion is, more flirting with Tanselle, gossip with Raymun Fossoway about the Targaryens, Egg runs in to say Aerion's hurting Tanselle, Dunk beats up Aerion and almost gets murdered by Aerion's goons, Egg reveals himself to save Dunk, Dunk in prison, talks to Egg and Baelor, Baelor tells him he can be mutilated for striking a prince or ask for trial by combat, so "how good a knight are you, truly?"

#5 - Aerion says sure, trial by combat, but only a trial of seven, Dunk has to find 6 guys, talks to Raymun and Steffon Fossoway, Daeron apologizes and tells Dunk his dragon dream, shield reveal, next morning the smallfolk are all "a knight who remembered his vows", various guys show up to help Dunk and Raymun gets knighted, but Steffon Fossoway goes to Aerion's side so they're still missing a guy, "are there no true knights among you?", wait is that Valarr??? no it's Baelor in Valarr's armor omg

#6 - The trial of seven. You know how this ends. 😭 Then talking to Maekar, and Dunk and Egg ride off into the sunset together.

I hope that's convincing enough for the doubters! I can see a few points where something might be shifted from the end of one to the beginning of the other -- but on the whole I think the comic is an excellent roadmap for the show, and I hope this is the way they lay it out. Also ftr, the Sworn Sword graphic novel was also originally 6 issues so possibly season 2 ditto (unless they add an episode for the in between THK-TSS Dorne and Oldtown adventures that didn't actually appear in the novellas, idk). But the Mystery Knight was only released as one book, so who knows, they might go for more episodes when they get to that season.

Also, re taking inspiration from the comic, I really hope they adapt the Kingsguards' gold codpieces. Just because.

can you do dunk saying goodbye to raymun fossoway and thanking him? thank you!

FIC: Ripened Apple

For the prompt: Dunk saying goodbye to Raymun Fossoway and thanking him.

“I must bid farewell to Raymun,” Dunk said, while Egg was saddling the horses. And thank him too, for all that he did for me.

“You will not find him in the Fossoway’s pavilion, ser,” said Egg. “Ser Steffon is most wroth with his cousin for cracking his ribs during the trial of seven. He called Ser Raymun a crab apple, only fit to be thrown away and trampled underfoot.”

Dunk frowned. Knights from junior branches of noble houses did not have it as tough as hedge knights, to be sure, but their position was a delicate one. If they’re not careful, Ser Arlan once said, they could end up as hedge knights as well.

Three good men dead, to save the life of one hedge knight, and now Raymun … what would become of him? Dunk wondered, stricken with guilt.

me and the boys getting ready for our trial of seven

[warsofasoiaf]

When do you think Raymun Fossoway was granted land to start House Fossoway of New Barrel? It seems that the green-apple Fossoways are even more powerful than the red-apple Fossoways during current times. Jana Tyrell is married to Jon Fossoway and Gunthor Hightower is married to Jeyne Fossoway, both of the green-apple. Perhaps Garlan's wife Leonette is of the red, but I doubt it.

I’d imagine that in recognition of his bravery, King Daeron II ordered a fief be granted to Raymun, probably the cause being championed by Egg or an adult courtier on Egg’s behalf.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

House Words Wednesdays: House Fossoway of New Barrel

Welcome to House Words Wednesdays! Each week, I take a House without known canon or semi-canon words and present what I think could make sense as that House’s motto. You’re free to suggest more as well, if your favored House has not yet been suggested; take a look at this link to see what has already been suggested, and shoot me an ask through Tumblr if you have another House you’d like to see done.

House Fossoway of New Barrel is a noble House of the Reach, sworn bannermen of the Tyrells of Highgarden. Despite their ancient reacher blood, however - claiming descent from Garth Greenhand’s mythic son Foss the Archer - the Fossoways of New Barrel are not an old reacher House. Indeed, House Fossoway of New Barrel arose only in the last century, the family’s origins captured in “The Hedge Knight”. In 209 AC, Raymun Fossoway was simply a minor member of House Fossoway of Cider Hall, squire to his cousin Ser Steffon Fossoway. While Steffon made empty boasts about aiding Dunk during his trial by combat, and eventually sided with Prince Aerion, Raymun stuck by Dunk’s side, even having Lyonel Baratheon knight him so he could be one of Dunk’s champions (after, of course, Dunk refused to do it). In testament to breaking with his cousin, Raymun adopted a personal sigil - a green apple, instead of the red apple of the Cider Hall Fossoways, since the false Steffon had claimed Raymun was “not ripe yet”.

It’s unclear what exactly happened to Raymun and his descendants thereafter (or, more precisely, how they went from a Fossoway of Cider Hall with a personal sigil to House Fossoway of New Barrel). My headcanon is that during the Third Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Raymun fought under the royalist flag, and that after the war was won, Prince Aegon used the cachet he had won in battle to convince his father and King Aerys to redistribute some of the pro-Blackfyre reacher lands (since the Blackfyres had found much support in the Reach during the First Blackfyre Rebellion) to his old ally Ser Raymun Fossoway, making him a landed knight. Certainly, the green apple Fossoways were exalted enough by the middle of the third century AC that Mace Tyrell’s sister Janna married Ser Jon Fossoway, head of the green-apple Fossoway branch; too, Gunthor Hightower, third son of the Old Man of Oldtown, is wed to Lady Jeyne of the New Barrel Fossoways. 

For the green apple Fossoway words, I decided on Ripened by Trial. Steffon Fossoway had joked that his cousin was “not ripe yet” to delay knighting him, but at the trial combat the newly minted Ser Raymun turned the joke into his personal symbol; he might still not have been ripe yet, he claimed, but “better green than wormy”, as he declared to Dunk. For Ser Raymun, the trial allowed him to come into his own, not merely giving him the opportunity for knighthood but the chance to prove that he understood the true meaning of knighthood better than his “ripe” but false cousin. Of course, if I’m correct, then House Fossoway of New Barrel also came into its own as a separate dynasty in a great trial - that is, the Third Blackfyre Rebellion. Proving his bravery and loyalty to the Targaryen dynasty, Ser Raymun may well have seen his new line “ripened” into a noble House in its own right, with its own lands and castle distinct from its Cider Hall origins. The red apple Fossoways might boast that they have “A Taste of Glory”, but the green apple Fossoways would with their words show that they would earn their glory through hard struggle.
