I think that Hrestol opened heroquesting to the knights (men of all, or whatever current canon calls them).
Historically, there were two reasons to create the knight caste - getting the armed forces onto horseback (which IIRC was a lord's caste privilege) and getting warriors able to wrestle the individual magic from the Pendali. In a way, Hrestol created a caste of heroquesters.
