Bodyguard Betrayal: Jaime Lannister, Mandon Moore and Mervyn Flowers are the best known.The marring of the office was caused by several reasons, namely the continuation of Jaime " The Kingslayer" Lannister's membership, Barristan Selmy's lack of influence in either the Small Council or the King's policies note Selmy being the only member to meet enough criteria to actively make both the grade and decisions about who else could, officially, ostensibly avoiding any semblance of a screening before the candidates are sworn into office, and the kingsguard being used for political dealings and even being sold off to cover the crown's debts.Aerys II's Kingsguard were thought of as one of the greatest Kingsguards ever (three of them took on seven men and killed five when Ned tried to rescue his sister at the Tower of Joy, and were also confident that had they been at the Trident with Rhaegar, Robert would have been defeated) but nowadays most of them are thugs and mediocre fighters that are only on the Kingsguard for political reasons. In practice, this hasn't been true as often as many kings wished it were. Badass Crew: Ideally, the members of the Kingsguard are the absolute best knights in all of Westeros, both martially and morally.Although started by the Targaryen dynasty, it has since become seen as an essential part of Westerosi culture, and the rebel Baratheon dynasty retained it after deposing the Targaryens likewise, several rival claimants for the Iron Throne, most notably Renly Baratheon and Daenerys Targaryen, have established their own versions of the Kingsguard as a way of building legitimacy. Members of the Kingsguard, by virtue of being members, are considered the de facto finest knights in the realm, and all of them are at least Master Swordsmen whether they are Knights In Shining Armor is another question. They were founded by Aegon the Conqueror at the insistence of Queen Visenya, who modeled their vows on those of the Night's Watch, and consist of seven knights who swear themselves to bachelorhood, celibacy and duty, serve for life, and wear pure white when on duty. An institution from Westeros, the Kingsguard exists to guard the king and the other members of the royal family, as well as anyone else close enough to the king for him to extend them their protection.
