| Aug 16, 2016 at 10:05 | comment | added | Aegon | @user568458 I did not believe the stories were needed here as the question is about general rules not specific cases. I don't think Baelor's endorsement of Dunc or Glendon Flowers answer this question because Baelor endorsed Duncan after asking him pointed questions to ascertain his links to Ser Arlan of Pennytree (Which kinda proved he was the man's squire and Baelor thought it was plausible the old man knighted him) and Glendon Flowers' knighthood was confirmed right when he was trying to enter the wedding feast. So he did not ride the lists with doubtful status. | |

I'd have thought your question was answered by the cases of Dunc (questionable status and lack of evidence overlooked when the right Targ vouches for him) and Ball (questionable status and lack of evidence overlooked because he's seemingly in the right faction and the consensus among this crowd is that he's amusing not problematic)? | |
| Aug 16, 2016 at 9:56 | comment | added | Aegon | Also I have cited Tourney at Ashford as an example here :P | |

@user568458 Yup I have. See the last GRRM quote in my answer below and see The Reach is the heart of the chivalric tradition in the Seven Kingdoms, the place where knighthood is most universally esteemed, and therefore the place where the master of the games is most likely to devise and apply stringent rules. Ashford is in the Reach which is why they most jealously guard knightly privileges.

| Aug 16, 2016 at 9:52 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | Have you read The Hedge Knight? It includes a first-person account of a man dealing with the bureaucracy of trying to sign on to the lists at a tourney when his knightly status is uncertain. The Mystery Knight also has another in different (more complicated) circumstances. Bascially, like everything in ASOIAF, it's based on implied consensus of the powerful ("power resides where..." yadda yadda), every rule has a little flexibilty if the right people vouch for you. | |
