Editing Knight (section)

==History==
Knighthood likely has its roots in [[Andal]] culture<ref name=yetmorequestions/> due to its association with the [[Faith of the Seven]], which was brought to [[Westeros]] with the [[coming of the Andals]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}} Legends of the [[Reach]] claim chivalry was brought by the First Knight, [[John the Oak]], however.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Garth Greenhand}} The military success of mounted knights and their [[steel]] [[armament]] proved vital to the [[Andals]]' conquest of most of Westeros.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}} Knighthood holds less cultural significance in areas of Westeros that are less assimilated to Andal culture, such as the [[north]] and the [[Iron Islands]], though there are knights from these regions.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}}
