A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Egg attempts to break in Dunk's horse, after which the knight imparts a crucial skill to his newly appointed squire, strengthening his training. Later, a steward approaches with an offer that may safeguard the squire's future prospects and provide him with security.

The Squire is a programme presented in an episodic format, focusing on the life and duties of a young squire within a medieval setting. It follows the everyday challenges and learning moments that shape the apprentice’s path toward knighthood. In this particular episode, Egg makes an attempt to train Dunk’s horse, an effort that quickly demonstrates the practical hurdles of horsemanship. Observing the struggle, the knight steps in and imparts a crucial skill to his new squire, guiding him through the technique that will prove essential for his future responsibilities. Soon after the lesson, a steward approaches the squire with a proposition. The offer is positioned as a potential means of securing the squire’s future, suggesting a possible avenue for advancement beyond the immediate duties of his current role. These two sequences—first the hands‑on instruction from the knight and then the steward’s forward‑looking proposal—highlight the blend of mentorship and opportunity that defines the squire’s journey. Together they illustrate how practical training and strategic alliances intertwine to shape his prospects within the household.
