Not quite. Unlike Tyrion, Dunk actually is being put on trial for something he actually did and Dunk is not from the lords of westeros family like tyrion

I was reading that Baelor Breakspear is half Martell, if true, that's a nice parallel to Oberyn fighting for Tyrion.

Here’s a theory I’ve been thinking about—
It feels strongly implied that Dunk was never properly knighted. His hesitation when knighting Raymun really stands out. There’s also that moment where Dunk mentions Ser Arlan wasn’t much for praying to Baelor, and the way Arlan just kind of shrugs during the scene—both hint that Arlan might not have known all the formal rites tied to the Seven.
That would explain why Dunk doesn’t know the official words, and why there’s this moral ambiguity around his status as a knight. Maybe Arlan did “knight” him, but it wasn’t done the traditional way.
It makes the contrast with Lyonel knighting Raymun even sharper—he uses all the correct words, showing a clear understanding of the ceremony. That parallel feels like a bit of ironic humor, very on-brand for the show.
And honestly, even if Dunk had known the proper words, his pause might’ve also come from not wanting to push Raymun into danger. The writing in that scene leaves just enough room for both possibilities, which is what makes it so good.
