Summary

Ser Erryk and Ser Arryk are not only one of the most tragic tales in Westeros history and two of the most famous knights in the history of the Kingsguard, but a perfect encapsulation of the Dance of the Dragons itself. Not to mention they were 2 of the first characters created for the Dance, mentioned before even Rhaenyra and Aegon! This episode has the twins’ full history, their mentions and influence on ASOIAF characters, parallels to other twins, and quite a lot more. Bonus Eps & More - ⁠www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠

2:15.6	A pair of twins in the Kings Guard are perhaps remembered best of all.
2:20.8	Unlike most of the others, they did their duty. They kept their honor at a time when so few others did, but that duty led them directly to tragedy and that fatal combination is why they are so well remembered and will continue to be and why they are a perfect encapsulation of the dance itself.
2:37.0	Most people in the fandom seem to agree that House the Dragon did them justice.
