Stands to reason, Knight were officers of the kingdom.

[Paladin means Knight in Scotish, his name was never revealed on the show, remember the knight on his holster?]
I always thought it was a Mercenary Knight. That would fit the concept of the show.
He was also great in the Charlton Heston Dark Age epic - The War Lord!
Except in one episode, he teamed up with a bad guy to go up against a worse guy, and they stole all his money.
I dislike hollywood and it’s 95% progg actors and watch very few movies. But I have probably seen The Shootist 15 times. What a great movie.
Interesting, especially since my wife lived next door to him for 4 months back around 1995 in Palm Springs. Met him several times.
Might have been a look a like that took his name. Impersonators do that.

Someone should correct Wikipedia if true!
I read in Webster’s one definition of a Paladin is “a leading champion of a cause”.
Gene Roddenberry wrote some of the first episodes.
I read that Richard Boone helped write the title song.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_Gun_%E2%80%93_Will_Travel
About 10% of the episodes were written by Gene Roddenberry!
Boone said of his [later] Hec Ramsey character, "Same thing, only fatter"
Like Bronco Bama...
Yes he did, I mostly try and pay attention to the credits in those old shows.Paladin, gunsmoke,rawhide were all done by CBS, lot of the same writers , actors and directors in the mid to late 50’s.
One of his last movies was the cheesy flick “The Last Dinosaur”.
