But then there's of course the non-militant guy who got rewarded big time - LF and Harrenhal. Sellswords get knighted after Blackwater. People seem to receive land as prizes after they have proved their worth in one way or another, like Clegane and his dogs saving their lord. Perhaps there are restrictions on who can buy lands from a lord, maybe just the neighboring lords or something. On the other hand Jaak gave an example where actual money-for-land transaction has taken place, so it has to be possible some way. You need to do something pretty great to receive a piece of land as an award. You can sort of buy land and titles, but not with money, at least not directly. That's basically what I was thinking when I read the thread title. When does someone get the right to a title? Lordships have to be given anyway like Rodrick Stark giving House Mormont Bear Island, Manderlys who somehow got control of a very powerful piece of land in the North even though they were a Southern House etc. Technically, it can all be done under the table under the guise of service. Can't you technically get a Lordship for services rendered? Let's say you want to buy land but you also want to be a Lord.
