If it's the knight who gave you your spurs, so much the better (only a knight can make a knight, but it doesn't HAVE to be the king)...So when the King eventually offers to accept your fealty, can you still remain loyal to the first guy?

This actually comes up in history on occasion-- and what a fun way to test honor and alignment...If you're up for a read, Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror deals with the life story of a knight of France during the fourteenth century-- what with the Black Death and the Hundred Years' War and  all the other fun stuff...</blockquote>
