"The Trial of Seven quite literally pits brother against brother to fatal results. HBO After Aerion requests a Trial of Seven to settle his dispute with Ser Duncan, heir to the Iron Throne Prince Baelor Targaryen shocks everyone by taking Dunk's side instead of his nephew Aerion's. Baleor has an advantage, as the Kingsguard are unable to harm him, but he is still facing off against his nephews Aerion and Daeron, his brother Maekar, and Ser Steffon Fossoway."
"While Dunk manages to defeat Aerion and get him to withdraw his accusation, his allies are beaten down badly, with Lord Humfrey Beesbury and Lord Humfrey Hardying both succumbing to their injuries. When Dunk is finally brought off the field by Raymun and Steely Pate, he's approached by Baelor, who tells him he's the kind of knight the realm needs. He then requests Raymun's help in taking off his helm, revealing a gruesome injury to the back of his skull,"
Ser Duncan the Tall begins as an unremarkable, large knight described as "thick as a castle wall and slow as an aurochs." By Episode 5 his actions precipitate a major shift in Targaryen succession. Aerion demands a Trial of Seven, and Prince Baelor unexpectedly supports Dunk against Aerion. Dunk defeats Aerion, but several allies suffer grave injuries. Baelor reveals a severe skull wound after asking Raymun to remove his helm and then dies shortly after. Baelor's death removes the first-in-line heir, elevating his son Prince Valarr and changing the line of succession toward Egg's eventual claim.
