George RR Martin explique le titre provisoire de "
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – The Hedge Knight" pour la série préquelle qui est basée sur une série de romans centrés sur le futur
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard nommé
Ser Duncan the Tall, et son écuyer connu sous le nom d'
Egg, série de livres surnommés "
Dunk & Egg" :
“The working title will be A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. Whether that will be the final title, I can’t say for sure… beyond saying that no, it won’t be called Takes of Dunk & Egg or The Adventures of Dunk & Egg or Dunk & Egg.
I love Dunk, and I love Egg, and I know that fans refer to my novellas as ‘the Dunk & Egg stories,’ sure, but there are millions of people out there who do not know the stories and the title needs to intrigue them too.
If you don’t know the characters, Dunk & Egg sounds like a sitcom. Laverne & Shirley. Abbott & Costello. Beavis & Butthead. So, no. We want ‘knight’ in the title. Knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories.”
