"From the moment we meet Ser Duncan the Tall in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it's clear that one thing matters to him more than anything else: honor. He's dead-set on becoming an esteemed knight, so he enters the lists at Ashford Meadow, but not before getting someone to vouch for him by asking around nicely. Unfortunately, this honor is his weakness as well."
"When Dunk sees Aerion Targaryen attack Tanselle during her puppet show, his dedication to protecting the innocent (and standing up for the girl he's enamored with) causes him to leap to her defense and assault the prince. But in the latest episode, Dunk's dedication to chivalry may have just revealed one of the biggest questions surrounding Dunk's past: was he ever really made a knight in the first place?"
Ser Duncan the Tall prioritizes honor above all and seeks to become an esteemed knight, entering the lists at Ashford Meadow after securing someone to vouch for him. Dunk impulsively defends Tanselle from Aerion Targaryen during a puppet show, striking the prince out of chivalric duty and affection. Flashbacks depict Dunk squiring for Ser Arlan Pennytree but omit any witnessed knighting, and Ser Arlan's behavior raises doubt about a formal elevation. Episode 4 places Dunk in a trial of seven, forcing him to recruit six allies amid betrayals, including Ser Steffon Fossoway switching sides for personal gain.
