==Culture== There are [[Westeros]]i songs and stories, particularly those depicting honorable knights and chivalry, that are very popular amongst all strata of society. In particular, [[Sansa Stark]] is captivated by the concept of the true knight.{{ref|AGOT|29}} Different individuals have different conceptions of what makes a true knight. For example, while Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]] believed that hedge knights were the truest sort of knights, because they could fight for causes they believed in without being beholden to lords or other powers,{{Ref|THK}} Lord [[Gormon Peake]] believed the hedge knights who attended the [[wedding tourney at Whitewalls]] without invite were no true knights.{{Ref|TMK}} The same knight may be declared both a true knight and no true knight by different individuals. This is the case with Ser [[Duncan the Tall]], who is declared a true knight by several individuals,{{Ref|THK}}{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} but denounced as no true knight by Gormon Peake.{{Ref|TMK}} A true knight must fully embrace the oath of knighthood: {{Quote|In the name of [[Warrior (the Seven)|the Warrior]] I charge you to be brave. In the name of the [[Father (the Seven)|Father]] I charge you to be just. In the name of [[Mother (the Seven)|the Mother]] I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the [[Maiden (the Seven)|Maid]] I charge you to protect all women.{{Ref|THK}}}}
