In KCD2, Henry is knighted?

[Daniel Burke]

Hello, am I right?

That's what I understood from the trailer.

[Crowbar]

By the end of the first one his dad Sir Radzig is openly claiming Henry as his son. So its not unreasonable for that to carry over to the second game. ( i do like when the guard comes in and is confused on how to address Henry).

[emreyigit1967]

Well, he bloody well ought to be, and not because of his father.

It was very rare but not unheard-of for peasants to be knighted. By the end of KC:D1 he has unfathomable prowess in all arms, is a competent rider and hunter, is rich and also extremely erudite. He has more than the necessary qualifications and all he needs is a feudal contract which any sensible lord should be happy to give him.

In fact, I calculate that Henry post-Pribyslavitz is so wealthy that he is positively baronial. That, however, is a different matter. His grandson perhaps, unless Henry marries very well.

Who knows?

He's already a squire post first game.

From the Wiki Article of the actual person:
"Racek Kobyla of Dvorce (also Dvojic, Dvojitz, or Dwoygicz;[1] died 2 February 1416) was a Bohemian landowner, hetman of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, and burgrave of Vyšehrad during the Late Middle Ages.
...
He is first mentioned in 1403 as being the overseer of silver mining in the settlement of Stříbrná Skalice."
Sounds like lesser Noble at best to me and as i heard, KDC2 takes place just a few Days after 1. So Henry just was recognized as Son of Kobyla and doesnt have any Titles. Hes still is just the Son of a lesser Noble.

I distinctly remember he was at least a squire, oh well, maybe it's a long time.

If he is formally recognised as the son of a lesser noble, bend sinister or not, making him a knight should present no difficulties whatsoever. But is a hetman a lesser noble?

Unrelated, but amusing that Wikipedia speculates the title hetman might possibly derive from the Tatars.

I had to go and watch a youtube video for that scene. It's been a long time since my previous playthrough, and in my present I'm barely a quarter of the way through the main storyline. Thank you. :)

IF someone is around that actually has the right to do it, that is. I´m far from being an expert,
but i think Henry didnt even meet someone until this point, that would have been able to righfully make him a knight.

He is the son of Sir Radzig Kobyla who was a Burgrave. Although was not his legitimate I don't think Sir Radzig had any other heirs so Henry could have his father's title after he died? I think the law would have said an illegitimate son would not inherit the title I would expect Henry to do so.

So, if Sir Radzig is alive then no title, if he is dead then yes, same title. A Burgrave was basically in charge of somewhere like Rattay.

A knight would have been more of a military title. Hans Capon being followed around by a knight might have been about all Henry would have been, might not include land etc.

Radzig was a commoner that became a hetman. He was not really a noble. His position was non-hereditary.

Thanks. Good to know.

It wasnt, but this position was actually not too shabby. At Raceks time, Hetman was the second highest military commander after the king himself.

Nop, doesn't happen. Unfortunately.

What you got to understand is that henry is a cuck charachter in this game. He doesnt grow, he doesnt improve his status, he endures, physical, emotional and public abuse. Same as arthur morgan from rdr2. And you if you are playing this game. Its called a struggle session, look it up.

[Daniel Burke]

Yeah that's sad. People are knighted for much less than that.
