Mimi Hoshut of A Podcast of Ice and Fire has penned a marvelously thorough and revealing essay on the Tales of Dunk and Egg, covering what they tell us about the nature of knighthood, the Targaryens, the Blackfyre Rebellions, Dunk and Egg themselves, peripatetic storylines throughout A Song of Ice and Fire, Brienne, Summerhall, prophecy, and more. The whole thing is now available for free at Tower of the Hand, as a teaser for their ebook A Flight of Sorrows. Go read it, then go buy it.
