A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Finale Confirms Major Game of Thrones Theory

In Season 1, Episode 6 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, titled “The Morrow,” it’s made clear that Ser Arlan of Pennytree never officially made Dunk a knight. This means Dunk isn’t a true knight throughout the series. While this detail doesn’t significantly alter the plot of either The Hedge Knight or the show, it does confirm a fan theory that’s been around for 28 years, with George R.R. Martin’s involvement. Crucially, it reveals that the knight Jaime Lannister admired and Brienne of Tarth is a descendant of achieved his legendary status through deception.
