as far as i was ever able to tell, all Pandions were also nobles. You must remember that Kurik was utterly, uttlerly opposed to being knighted, saying he was a commoner and knights lost all their brains with their 'Sir' titles.
It was only Kurik and his sons that were considered for Pandion knighthood due to Kurik's exemplary service - a Squirehood which was as much hereditary as Sparhawk's to the Elenian Throne - and therefore just as noble if not titled as such. Squire Kurik sounds almost noble...
