Maekar is not heir at this stage. Baelor's sons and his older brothers are still above him. (indeed his brother Aerys reigns before Maekar)


** Finally, his acceptance of Prince Maekar's offer to let him take his son Aegon as his squire- on the condition that the two of them roam the country living the low life of a simple hedge knight and his common squire. When Maekar incredulously reminds Dunk that Egg is a prince of the blood, Dunk points out to the prince [[spoiler:and now heir to the throne]] that neither of his other two sons ever learned humility or decency, so maybe it's time to try things a different way. Maekar doesn't answer, but Dunk gets his way. (And if you know about the history of the series, you know Aegon V grows up to be a fair, honourable and beloved ruler, so Dunk ''knew'' what he was talking about.)

** The way Lady Webber's peasants feel confident in defying armed knights while on her business is one for her in extension. They are certain both that m'lady is scarier than a couple of idiots in armour and that she'll avenge any wrongs done to her leal servants.

* From "The Sworn Sword":
** Dunk attempting to settle the bad blood between Ser Eustace and Lady Webber by ''cutting his own face'' to repay Lady Webber for her man who was cut by Ser Bennis (to which a stunned Lady Webber admits that she would marry him if she could), then killing Ser Longinch in single combat to free her from his scheming and end the feud.
** Ser Eustace's lecture to Egg on the transitory nature of treason when history is WrittenByTheWinners. It's almost impossible to argue with him.

* From "The Hedge Knight", ''many'' moments relating to Dunk's Trial of Seven:
** The smallfolk all being on Dunk's side even though his opponents include [[spoiler:three princes of the blood and three members of the Kingsguard]] because he was "a knight who remembered his vows".
** [[spoiler:Baelor Breakspear himself, Hand of the King and heir to the Iron Throne,]] volunteering to be Dunk's final champion, even though it means going against [[spoiler:his own brother and two of his nephews]].
** Ser Humphrey Hardyng fighting at Dunk's side even though he already had a broken leg from his earlier clash with Aerion.
** Raymun Fossoway being knighted on the spot to take Dunk's cause [[spoiler:after his treacherous cousin Steffon betrays Dunk to fight for the other side]]. During the battle he [[spoiler:gave his cousin a few bruises to remember and afterwards went on to found the cadet branch of House Fossoway based on his repainted "green apple" banner which would grow to become the equals of the main "red apple" branch]].

* There are several great moments for Dunk in "The Mystery Knight," but chief among them?
** "I'm better with a sword" Dunk wasn't lying.
** "You lie. That's two."
