Ser Arthur, played by Luke Roberts, is seen with Ser Gerold Hightower in a flashback when Bran Stark sees into the past. Ser Arthur and Ser Gerold are guarding the Tower of Joy in Dorne at the end of Robert’s Rebellion. Ser Arthur and Ser Gerold prevent Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell from entering the tower. Ser Arthur is shown to be cordial to Eddard, but refuses to tell him where his sister is. Ser Arthur and Ser Gerold fight against the northmen to protect the tower. Ser Arthur easily holds his own against the northmen (cutting down numerous of them with two swords), and is able to disarm Eddard before he is killed by Howland Reed when the crannogman sneaks up behind him and stabs him in the back of the neck before he can deliver a blow to Eddard. Ser Arthur is gravely wounded, but survives until Eddard delivers the killing blow, killing the legendary Sword of the Morning.

  5. I saw a video of Skallagrim breaking this fight down. For a movie fight it's pretty realistic, but Arthur won this because of the incompetence of his opponents, not because of his skill. xD

  8. I have yet to see a comment about how a young Ned held his own against a seasoned (and top 3 swordsmen in history) Ser Arthur Dayne and his TWO swords.
    90% of other knights would have been finished within 3 seconds of fighting Dayne.

  18. Dayne lets go of his sword in the end, and kneels before ned, I never saw that before. He probably was indicating to Ned to finish him with his own sword and give him a knight's death.

  24. it would have been better if the sword of the morning, the actual perfect knight, had more than just this scene, and if ned stark had been weilding ice, an actual greatsword (distinctive fighting style, because you come within 2 foot, you leave in two peices)
