The newest spinoff of HBO's once-juggernaut, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is set a century before the events of "Game of Thrones."

Its hero, Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), serves no lord, holds no glory and doesn’t even have a bar of soap to his name. Three horses, a rope to hold his long sword and his honor are the extent of his meager inheritance from the hedge knight he served until the man’s death.

The Vikings: Valhalla star and former rugby union player, 29, is Dunk in the new Westeros TV tale, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The series takes its name from a trilogy of George RR Martin novellas that spin off from the main A Song of Ice and Fire books.
