While a house may supplement its forces with hedge knights, it does not mean they are willing to offer that knight a full position into the house.Knights are still considered the premier warriors of the battlefield. They are mounted and usually well armed and armored. More so than a typical sworn sword. Except for in the North, most Lords were knights first. Hence there is a stigma against Hedge Knights. A commoner could be raised to a Knight. But for a hedge knight to be raised to a lord is almost unheard of.So most knights are of some noble status in one way or another. Either distant relatives to a noble house. Or something like that.Another thing is that most Hedge Knights are also testing the house to see if they fit into to it. While a House Knight has the backing and power of a house, he doesn't have to obey the oath. In fact most don't.A Hedge Knight only has two things his word and reputation. As I said before most take there oath very serious because what they say and do speaks for there reputation. It takes time for a hedge knight to be offered a position into a house. Hopefully I have made this situaiton a little more clear. Hence why they have a Social Status of 0.</blockquote>
