Gendry wondered if it truly counted if one was knighted by a bastard king who had no more right to sit the Iron Throne than Gendry did, which was not at all. He had little opinion on Lord Baelish, for as much as he might get mentioned, Sansa never had anything ill t say of him. But the thought of knighting was fixed in his mind so that he scarcely heard about Mya loving another.

"I was knighted by an outlaw. I didn't even ask for it." He frowned. "I don't think anyone truly believed me when I told them I was a knight, back at the Crossroads." Certainly that bear of a woman hadn't. If he had ever had the idea to play at tourneys, Gendry rather suspected he'd have never been permitted.
