I think part of the fun of the story is that we as readers cannot be sure whether Dunk is telling the truth. And does it really matter? Dunk is a nice guy and he deserves his knighthood ;) | |

| Jul 1, 2014 at 14:32 | comment | added | Andres F. | The only way you can counter this would be by showing an example where someone is knighted by another knight, and his knighthood doesn't "stick" on grounds other than "I don't believe the knight actually knighted you". Otherwise, you have no basis to doubt on the face of pretty convincing evidence. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 14:30 | comment | added | Andres F. | I'd say it's a representative example, since Dunk actually convinced royalty (Prince Baelor) and other knights of renown, not a random bunch of Sers. I understand you not trusting what the wiki says (they are pretty clear on the matter, but what are their sources?). However, this example shows the knighthood always "sticks". The only point of contention is whether you witnessed the knighting and/or believe it actually happened. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 13:41 | comment | added | einpoklum | That's one fortunate example. The question is whether you can assume that's enough. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 11:44 | comment | added | Andres F. | No, where did you get that idea? Being knighted by a knight always "sticks". Ser Duncan's knighthood "stuck", and all people had was his word that Ser Arlan had knighted him. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 10:30 | comment | added | einpoklum | Well, apparently not. That is, you can be knighted, but it won't 'stick'. | |
