Rhaegar's Knighthood


Ser Addam DarkBlood

Recommended Posts

Who Knighted Rhaegar Targaryen ? We only know that he was knighted at age 17. My theories are:

-The obvious one ,His Father.

-  His friend Ser Arthur Dayne , although the closeness in their age could be a problem.

- The Lord commander of the Kingsguard Ser Gerold Hightower.

What other theories you Guys Have ? and do you think GRRM will relay this Info in the coming books?

Good question, one that I've had too for a while. There is nothing that specifically states who knighted him. I personally lean towards Ser Willem Darry, the Maester at Arms of the Red Keep, the man to whom a young Rhaegar turned to when he first requested a sword and armor and decided that he had to become a warrior. 

 

A second possibility, that also has no direct affirmation in the text, is a parallel we see with a young Mad King and his preference to be knighted by his best friend who was already a knight, Tywin Lannister. Maybe Rhaegar also opted for that route and was knighted by his BFF, Arthur Dayne.
