knighting the knight

Once it has become possible for someone to spontaneously just become a magical knight, without spell slinging, or a ceremony, or perhaps most vital of all, an oath of allegiance. . . 

What happens when  someone tries to knight someone who is spontaneously one?  Perhaps without knowledge.

It won't happen too often, most of them are of a social class to never be considered, but one heroine will be.  Perhaps that she has, unbeknownst to everyone, an ability to break spells will affect matters.  I think it's going to be spectacular at a distance, and turn her position from horrible to disastrous.  

Still, it might be best to determine what will happen without such a convenient power.  If the power they try to give the would-be knight is too incompatible with the knight's character, the spell just burns out.  I think a slightly more vigorous response would work better.

Hmm.  Perhaps knighting someone twice in the past revealed a similar result.  Accusations will fly.
