This is another spin-off in the Westeros universe, set about a century earlier than Game of Thrones. Ser Duncan the Tall was a humble hedge (landless) knight whose strength, bravery and good nature brought him into contact, and eventually in favor, with the powerful families. He was said to be 6’11”, although the actor playing him is much shorter than that. Previous revelations have indicated that he is an ancestor of the giantess Brienne of Tarth, who played a major role in Game of Thrones, although their specific blood tie has not been revealed.
The original 1998 print source is called The Hedge Knight, one of the Tales of Dunk and Egg, three novellas that were published together about a decade ago as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. According to Wikipedia, The Hedge Knight was also issued as a six-part series of graphic novels.
The female nudity was disappointing – an insignificant character topless on her back for a second or two. I’m not even sure who this woman is. She has a line, so she’s probably credited. My best guess is Rowan Robinson, playing “Red,” given her hair color and the fact that all the other credited female characters seem to match other actresses.
En passant: “The House of Ashur” was not aired this week, for reasons unclear.
This is the only female nudity in the entire show lol. It’s already been confirmed. But don’t worry, you’ll see plenty of fully naked men on this show. America likes it.
