Do the theories all suppose that Dunk's offspring were sired before he joined the Kingsguard?

I am guessing Dunk eventually found his Dornish puppet girl and that his offspring will have Dornish connections.
Starfall keeps coming to me in relation to Dunk due to the falling star over an Elm tree on his shield. I know it is not an exact replica of the sigil of Starfall, but the symbolism is there. Starfall is very close to Dorne. We have almost no history on Starfall from what I can find, and I think its name may ultimately have something to do with Dunk's sigil. The history of the Dayne's does not go back very far either.

There may have been a bastard from Dunk that was legitimized.

FWIW this is from the House Dayne ASOIAF Wiki:

quote:
House Dayne has ruled Starfall for centuries, taking part in many battles between Dorne and the Reach. In particular, they have been killing Oakhearts for thousands of years.

That seems to suggest that the Daynes pre-date Dunk.

I do think he sired before the Kingsguard though. He seems like the type to take those vows seriously and Aegon V wasn't named King until he was in his thirties.
