The title is a reference to the title bestowed on Brienne of Tarth after Jaime Lannister knights her and to the [[Tales of Dunk and Egg|collection of stories of the same name]] by [[George R. R. Martin]], the author of the ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' novels on which ''Game of Thrones'' is based.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://heavy.com/entertainment/2019/04/game-of-thrones-got-season-8-episode-2-title-knight-of-seven-kingdoms/|title=‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 Episode 2 Title Explained: The Secret Meaning of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’|last=Dwilson|first=Stephanie Dube|date=April 22, 2019|website=Heavy.com|language=en|access-date=April 29, 2019}}</ref>
==Plot==
Daenerys and Sansa both contemplate the fate of Jaime Lannister, who reveals Cersei was lying about sending her army. They let Jaime fight for them after Brienne vouches for him. Jaime speaks with Bran and apologizes for trying to kill him ("[[Winter Is Coming#In the North|Winter Is Coming]]"), but Bran holds no anger. Meanwhile, Daenerys is angry at Tyrion for believing Cersei, but is mollified by Jorah.
Sansa and Daenerys attempt to clear the air between them based on their mutual love of Jon, but Daenerys doesn't have an answer when Sansa asks about the fate of the North once Daenerys takes the Iron Throne. Theon returns wishing to fight for the Starks. Tormund, Beric, and Edd arrive and tell Jon that the Army of the Dead will arrive before the following morning.
At the war council, Bran persuades them to let him act as bait to lure the Night King, who wishes to kill him. Theon volunteers to defend Bran with the Ironborn, and Jon and Daenerys plan to ambush the Night King when he reveals himself to destroy him.
Arya talks to the Hound, and asks him why he came North since he only fought for himself, and he retorts that he had fought for her ("[[The Children (Game of Thrones)#In the Vale|The Children]]"). Arya then visits Gendry. He reveals he is a bastard of [[Robert Baratheon]]. Wanting to lose her virginity before the battle, Arya seduces and sleeps with Gendry.
Tyrion, Jaime, Brienne, Podrick, Davos, and Tormund gather in the meeting hall to drink before the battle. The conversation turns to why women cannot be knighted; in response to Tormund's remark that he would knight Brienne without hesitation, Jaime knights an emotional Brienne.
Jorah fails at attempting to stop Lyanna Mormont from fighting in the battle. Sam approaches Jorah and gives him House Tarly's Valyrian sword Heartsbane, out of gratitude for the influence Jorah's father [[Jeor Mormont|Jeor]] had on him.
Daenerys visits Jon in the crypts and he reveals his true parentage to Daenerys but Daenerys is skeptical about the reliability of the information. They are interrupted by horn blasts signalling the approach of the Army of the Dead.
==Production==
===Writing===
The episode was written by "series veteran" [[Bryan Cogman]].<ref name="synopsis">{{cite web |url=https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/season-8/2-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms/synopsis |title=A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms |publisher=HBO |accessdate=April 21, 2019}}</ref> This was his eleventh and final script of the series overall. For him "the biggest challenge was not writing a Wikipedia page."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/2019/04/21/game-of-thrones-bryan-cogman-knight-seven-kingdoms-interview/|title='Game of Thrones' writer breaks down 'play-like' season 8, episode 2's big scenes|website=EW.com|language=en|access-date=April 23, 2019}}</ref> The episode adapts material from the unpublished novels ''[[The Winds of Winter]]'' and ''A Dream of Spring'', along with original material not published in [[George R. R. Martin]]'s novels.
===Filming===
The episode was directed by [[David Nutter]], his second of three episodes this season. The outdoor Winterfell scenes were filmed at sets in [[Moneyglass]] and [[Magheramorne]] in [[Northern Ireland]], with indoor scenes filmed at [[Paint Hall]] studios in [[Belfast]].<ref>[https://heavy.com/entertainment/2019/04/game-of-thrones-season-8-location-where-filmed-got/ "‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 Locations: Where Is GoT Filmed?"]. [[Heavy.com]]. April 14, 2019.</ref> Executive producers [[David Benioff]] and [[D. B. Weiss]] let [[Maisie Williams]] decide how much of her body to show on camera during her sex scene; she didn't believe that Arya's nakedness was central to the narrative, and she "kept [herself] pretty private."
===Music===
The episode features a song called "[[Jenny's Song]]", sung by Podrick while many of the characters were drinking by the fire before the upcoming battle. The first line of the song appeared in the book ''[[A Storm of Swords]]''; the writers wrote the rest of the lyrics while series composer [[Ramin Djawadi]] set it to music. Another version of the song, titled "Jenny of Oldstones", was sung by the band [[Florence and the Machine]] and played over the ending credits.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.polygon.com/game-of-thrones/2019/4/21/18510121/game-of-thrones-jennys-song-full-lyrics-podrick-theory-season-8-episode-2|title=Podrick’s song has ties to the books and a Game of Thrones prophecy|first=Austen|last=Goslin|work=Polygon|date=April 21, 2019|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}</ref>

The episode received largely positive reviews from critics and acclaim from many longtime commentators of the series.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/1120491086986788867|title=‘Stephen King's Twitter Account|publisher=Twitter|first=Stephen|last=King|date=April 22, 2019|accessdate=April 23, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/04/game-of-thrones-dunk-egg-jaime-brienne-books.html|title=‘Why ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Means So Much to Game of Thrones Book Readers|publisher=Vulture|first=Sean|last=CollinsWh|date=April 22, 2019|accessdate=April 24, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=‘Game of Thrones’ Delivers One of Its All-Time-Best Episodes With "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/game-of-thrones-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-review/ |date=April 22, 2019 |accessdate=May 14, 2019 |publisher=[[/Film]]}}</ref> It has an 87% rating on the [[review aggregator]] site [[Rotten Tomatoes]] based on 94 reviews, with an average rating of 8.12/10. The site's critics' consensus states: "What 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' lacks in forward narrative momentum it makes up for in cryptic callbacks, intimate moments, and the promise of imminent battle – though some fans may find their patience tested.

Jeremy Egner of ''[[The New York Times]]'' believed that the episode did a good job with building up the story before the eventual climax at Winterfell and wrote, "In this last week before the big White Walker clash and the presumable carnage and loss of beloved characters it will entail, it was a reminder that the things we do for love can be heroic, too."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/21/arts/television/game-of-thrones-review.html|title=‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8, Episode 2 Recap: The Things We Do for Love|publisher=The New York Times|first=Jeremy|last=Egner|date=April 21, 2019|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}</ref> David Sims of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' suggested that "audiences didn't need most of last week's dire episode," adding that smooshing the episodes together would result in "a good hour of fan service," before the potential death of some of the characters in the next episode.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/04/game-thrones-season-8-episode-2-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-review/587635/|title=Game of Thrones: The One Where Everyone Contemplates Imminent Death|publisher=The Atlantic|first=David|last=Sims|date=April 21, 2019|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}</ref> Alyssa Rosenberg of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' believed that the episode did a good job of distinguishing between the two sides of the upcoming battle by showing "the warm bodies and warmer conversations between our tragically, beautifully human characters." Rosenberg went on to analyze that the apocalyptic situation facing the characters served as a meta commentary for the impending end of the series, writing, "It’s a sly note to those of us who have spent a decade or longer with George R.R. Martin’s characters, an admonition that even when this hugely absorbing series ends in a few weeks, its best moments will live on in those of us who have loved it and challenged it. And in the hands of writer and co-executive producer Bryan Cogman — who has always, to my mind, better understood what made “Game of Thrones” wonderful than even the men who created and ran the darn thing" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/22/game-thrones-season-episode-review-rightful-queen/?noredirect=on|title=‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8, Episode 2 review: ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’|publisher=The Washington Post|first=Alyssa|last=Rosenberg|date=April 21, 2019|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}</ref> Author [[Stephen King]] shared praise about the episode on [[Twitter]], writing "As a long-time storyteller, I'm in awe of how perfectly the minds behind this show brought all the major characters together at Winterfell. They made it look easy. Constant Readers, it is not."<ref name="auto"/>
Among the negative reviews, Liz Shannon Miller of ''[[IndieWire]]'' criticized the pace of the episode and unnecessary confrontations between the characters and added, "The issues surrounding "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" would be lesser if a) Episode 1 hadn't also been so devoted to moving pieces into place and b) Season 8 wasn't going to be only six episodes."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2019/04/game-of-thrones-review-season-8-episode-2-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-spoilers-1202060757/|title=‘Game of Thrones’ Review: The Final Season Keeps Stalling in a Frustrating ‘Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’|publisher=IndieWire|first=Liz Shannon|last=Miller|date=April 21, 2019|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}</ref>
