CassDarry Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Just simply wondering which Hedge Knight or other lowborn Knight has impressed, on the main series?(not F&B or Dunks tales) Bronn is usually brought up or Lothar Brune...even Kettleblacks are impressive ok their own way. But I took a shine to Illfer the penniless, so I wondered what other readers thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aebram Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 For anyone (besides me) who wants to refresh their memory, there's a list of "Known hedge knights" in the wiki. However, I think it may be incomplete. It doesn't include Hyle Hunt, although he was sworn to Lord Tarly at some point, so maybe that's why he wasn't considered a hedge knight. For me, Hyle and Shadrich the Mad Mouse are two that come to mind as being clever and interesting. Also, Ser Arlan of Pennytree certainly had an influence on the story, because of how he raised and trained Dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Ser Tallad the Tall? Single-handedly wounds three gold cloaks before being overwhelmed by numbers despite being caught completely by surprise at his own arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I change my answer to Brienne of Tarth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is one of the ones I mentioned (Hyle Hunt, Shadrich the Mad Mouse, Arlan of Pennytree) highborn? Sorry, I missed that. But I would guess that, if a knight isn't landed, and isn't sworn in service to anyone, then he's a hedge knight. I don't think Brienne was knighted. But she certainly was honest, and brave, and had other virtues of a true knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Brienne of Tarth. She's clearly one of the series best fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am almost sure that she is not real hedge knight. After all by outliving her father she would inherit an island, small army almost certainly including at least some knights and even some warships.

The Commentator Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I like Ser Arlen. He’s competent enough and conducted himself as a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
