Dunk has trouble rounding up six allies to fight in the trial of seven against Aerion and his six. Ser Lyonel Baratheon sees this hesitation and Dunk lets him knight Raymun instead, providing even further evidence that Dunk feels unequipped. After burying Ser Arlan, Dunk wonders if he should find another knight to squire for, which wouldn’t make sense if he was newly-knighted. Dunk has more honor than Aerion Targaryen and Ser Steffon Fossoway could ever dream of having, and that’s what really makes a knight, not a ceremony. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is now streaming on HBO Max.
