Daeron II Targaryen is the king during A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , ruling from the Iron Throne at the time Dunk and Egg’s story takes place.

Who is king during A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

• The reigning monarch is Daeron II Targaryen , also known in the lore as “Daeron the Good.”

• He is the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and sits on the Iron Throne during the events of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

• In the show’s setup, Daeron himself does not travel to the Ashford tourney; instead, his sons (including Baelor and Maekar) and members of the Kingsguard appear there, which is why you mostly hear about him rather than see him.

Quick in-universe context

• The story is set about a century before Game of Thrones , when the Targaryen dynasty still rules Westeros.

• Daeron II’s eldest son, Prince Baelor, is crown prince, and Maekar Targaryen (Egg’s father) is another of his sons, both present around the Ashford events.

• The more famous “Egg” (Aegon Targaryen) who travels with Ser Duncan will much later become King Aegon V Targaryen, but that is after Daeron II’s reign and after the period covered by A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Mini timeline (very high level)

• During A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms : Daeron II Targaryen is king.

• Years later: His descendant Aegon V (“Egg”) eventually takes the throne, with Ser Duncan the Tall serving in his Kingsguard.

So if you’re watching or reading and wondering “who is king right now?” during A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , the answer is Daeron II Targaryen, ruling from King’s Landing while his sons and the Kingsguard attend the Ashford tourney.

TL;DR: The king during A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is Daeron II Targaryen, a Targaryen ruler remembered for a relatively peaceful and diplomatic reign.
