A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Egg’s Prophecy Explained

Throughout the series, the true identity of young Egg remained a mystery, but this episode confirmed what many viewers had guessed: he is one of the lost sons of Prince Maekar Targaryen I. He was forced to reveal himself when Aerion attempted to harm Dunk for protecting Tanselle the Tall. Before this reveal, Dunk and Egg encountered a mysterious fortune-teller whose words deeply disturbed Egg. Though A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has generally been seen as a story focused on action rather than magic, this prophecy suggests there’s more to the tale than meets the eye.
