User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/Which reign is better: Uther's or Arthur's?/@comment-3012002-20130120111653/@comment-5102537-20130121005332

"On the subject of the knightings: Were the four men actually knighted under Camelot's laws? Arthur didn't have the authority to knight them and, if he didn't repeat the ceremony once he was crowned - not an option with Lancelot - would it matter that he did it at a time when, technically, he wasn't even Crown Prince, let alone King?"

That's a good question. I have no idea. I would assume that they were knighted "inofficially" - but probably, it was simply overlooked by the writers. If Arthur didn't repeat the ceremony, the knights basically weren't real knights. I still don't see the necessity of knighting them when they weren't at Camelot and while Uther was still removed from the throne and replaced by Morgana. This was just done for the sake of drama and romantical reasons to finally start the legend of the Round Table, despite the actual lack of logic and the plothole. I really would have loved to see Uther's reaction under different circumstances. When Arthur knighted his warriors and friends, he actually had given up on his father. Very weird.
