Stormland's Fury Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Oberyn is a knight, he offered to knight Qunetyn, it's just his title as Prince simply is above Ser so he uses that. The only reason Edmure and Brynden are called Ser is because they're not Lords (or Edmure wasn't when he was called Ser) Yeah forgot about that. They're so unclear about it at times, like not every noble seems to be a knight. Stannis has to be one too otherwise how could he have knighted Davos back then? But he's never pointed out to actually be a knight (nor his brothers). Although Renly clearly had a squire and Robert probably too. What's weird is that knights often are supposed to stand in the service of a lord, but there are several lords who also are knights. Which one is it? They still hold the same lands.

Greywind84 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Prince Baelor is an obvious choice, as is Dunk. And if you ignore the rebellion then Daemon Blackfyre is worth a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Any Lord or Prince can knight anyone, he doesnt necessarily have to br a knight Nope. A lord must needs to be a knight himself to do that. I think all three Baratheon brothers were knighted, Stannis because of Davos, Renly because of Loras, Robert because he loved this war business more than anything else in the world.

Stormland's Fury Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Robert because he loved this war business more than anything else in the world. That doesn't mean he's a knight We have to speculate that his brothers probably are knights too, hence it's probable he's as well. No one ever called Stannis Ser even before he became lord of Dragonstone though. Furthermore he denounced the Seven so if he was one does it still count?

C0bR Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Lol, you have to be able to ride a horse to be a true knight. He ain't young anymore. He is now focusing on defending women, children, honor and law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairGrowsBack Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'm a bit torn on good ol' Barry. I'm very fond of him and I think he's a fine man, but not stepping up during Aerys' atrocities wasn't very chivalrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Loras and Garlan for example don't serve their own father. They still are part of the Highgarden household. Usually it's the knights who hold their own lands and incomes and serve under a lord. (Garlan got his own now) If all the Baratheon brothers are knights and supposed to live at SE they don't serve and pay themselves. Within the ASoIaF universe the relations are a bit sketchy because usually a knight is of lower nobility but we have people from High nobility who are knights as well. It probably has its own rules but they are not that well established for the reader. Davos gaining knighthood and obtaining his own lands is what real knights would have been (then again he doesn't even seem to ride a horse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Breakspear Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Baelor Breakspear of course, championed the right cause - even against his own family. Duncan The Tall was also a very chivalrous knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
