The evidence that Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was never knighted

Viewers who’ve followed the show to this point will understand what Lyonel is talking about — Dunk is despondent over the death of Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), the heir to the Iron Throne of Westeros, who was mortally wounded while defending Dunk in a trial by combat. Lyonel is furious at Dunk’s response, insisting that Baelor “risked nothing” in the fight, since the men on the other side were his family members and Kingsguard “sworn to protect him.” Even though Baelor died from the beating he suffered in that fight, Lyonel still feels the prince’s participation was a sham, and that the gods punished him for it.
