"The Hedge Knight" is a short story written by GRRM that was published in Legends, a collection of fantasy short stories edited by Robert Silverberg. The story takes place 89 to 112 years before A Game of Thrones, and tells the story of Duncan, a young hedge knight competing in a tourney at Ashford. GRRM wrote a sequel to the story, also starring Dunk, called "The Sworn Sword," which was published in Silverberg's second anthology, Legends 2.

GRRM has confirmed that he will continue writing the Dunk & Egg tales, though no official publication information is available yet.
