Aemon the Dragonknight, he was the most honourable and Loyalty man of his time, he ended up protecting the unworthy king aegon, who everyone hated.

Arthur Dayne will always be my favourite

The mad king probably had the most bad ass kingsguard Barristan the bold and Arther Dayne the sword of the morning at the same time when they were both young. Now that is class.

I always loved the lore of the Kingsguard members...their stories make them so badass.

Ser Duncan the Tall is the best out of all. From Flea Bottom to the Kingsguard, WOW!

It feels weird to hear SIR Joffrey

“Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell. “But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.” “Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm. “We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold. i raise you this badass trio!

A “Dark Kingsguard” is a fun thought exercise. For example, my Dark Seven: Lord Commander Criston Cole the Kingmaker, Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer, Ser Gregor Clegane, The Smiling Knight, Lord Captain Victarion Greyjoy, Prince Daemon Blackfyre & Ser Aegor Rivers

I still think Aerys’ Kingsguard is the greatest. You had Arthur Dayne, Jaime Lannister and Barristan Selmy. 3 of the greatest fighters Westeros has ever seen.

Sam Good sounds like Old Man Logan.

I truly do hope that we learn more about Arthur Dayne in future books. He's so mysterious and so fascinating. I want to know what his other deeds were, who he was and even what he looks like

Named pate and uses a spear. hmmmmm *Dark Souls*

Jaehaerys had the best kingsguard: all seven members extremely skilled and the mad king had the best knights ever in his kingsguard: Barristan and Arthur. He didn't have the best kingsguard because probably the other 5 althought still badass weren't as good as Jaehaerys's 7 members.

Thank you man! I know so much about the lore already but I'm always happy to learn more - these hidden nuggets are a welcome addition. I wish you well in your future videos - good luck with your endevours:)

Lmaoooo Meryn Trant would defeat all of them with his eyes poked out

I really like the concept of the kingsguard and love the lore videos about them. keep it up.

I think Ser Criston Cole is best of all time. Many people cant see it because of hate as he was in team green but dude is a Freakin Beast on Battlefield with his weapon morningstar. He never lost any combat.

These guys seem so awesome. Kind of hoping the GRRM writes the White Book some day (after TWOW of course).

I was disappointed to see that, though you mentioned the attack on Queen Alysanne at Maidenpool, you didn't say anything about Jonquil Darke. She, too took part in the 'War for the White Cloaks' and acquitted herself well. Though she didn't win a place in the Kingsguard, after Maidenpool, Jaehaerys and Alysanne sought her out and she became the Queen's bodyguard, a Queensguard in all but name. She deserved a place on your list, too!

I'm a new sub but I binged alot of your videos! How do you not have more subscribers?

if I could choose seven knights from any time from my king's guard I would choose Arthur Dayne, Barrisstan Selmy, Joffrey Doggett, Samgood of sour hill, Duncan the tall, Aemon Targaryen, Brynden rivers and Brianne of tarth.

Dude you make some of my favorite GoT related videos. You and Talking Thrones I consider to be the best. Keep up the good work.

Stumbled across this channel, watched most of your videos and I just want to say you do a awesome job man. Keep it up!

Kingsguard for me are one of my favorite types of videos to watch. Love hearing about all the old badass members

The fact that all of the KIngs guard died before their king did just shows how good they are. Not even barriston selmy could protect his kings with his own life

Another great video! Keep it up!

This was one of your best videos

I think the fact that the coolest kingsguard members are those serving under bad kings (like the unworthy or mad king) sends the message that honor can be missused by those who wield it. Sure, Ser Authur Dayne or Aemon are cool and honorable, but they spent their life protecting those who abused power.

Its official guys - Jaehaerys' kingsguard > the Mad King's

Your channel is so good, i hope you will grow as big as other channels GoT like AltShiftX

Criston Cole in single combat

Hey WhyCreate, I just started watching your videos quite recently but I absolutely love them. I just wanted to throw out another video idea here. I think it would be super cool just to learn a little more about the islands and land around and in the Jade Sea. Keep up the great work!

Gerold Hightower Arthur Dayne, Dunk and Oswell when will always be my favourites

If you haven't yet, can you do a video about all of the Robert's bastard children. I know the book covers a lot more than the show and I know more than one is still alive. Thanks... Love the videos

I’d love to see a video of all the kings guard over the years of Westeros and there great deeds. Maybe you could do a series of videos on it

Great channel

The goat king had the goat kingsguard. Poetic. It's also crazy this one is considered greater than Aerys' kingsguard. Jaime, Barriston, and Arthur Dayne being on the same kingsguard is ridiculous

Great videos:)

"They might kill us but you will be the first to die m'lord, you have my word on that" How to be a gentleman and a fucking bad ass at the same time ;)

Please post more of kingsguard video!!!

No feats, just once that 50 guys wouldn't take on 7 and the statement from a biased source that they were the greatest kingsguard. 50 guys would very rightly question if they could take on Barristan and Arthur Dayne (with Dawn) alone. I'm also pretty sure despite not readily knowing all of Aegon V's kingsguard any one where Duncan the Tall is the Lord Commander probably isn't anything to be fucked with, I actually think 60-70 guys would think twice when the Kingsguard is headed up by a 7ft giant of a man.

Can you please do a video on Larys Strong "The Clubfoot", due to my liking of Littlefinger and characters of his ilk, Strong stood out to me as very interesting. Thank you.

Thinking about the fact that the Mad King had Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy in his prime, and Jaime Lannister on his Kingsguard. Considering these three are like three of the five most talented knights ever I mean god damn

Jaehaerys reign was too good 😂

Barristan The Bold the greatest of all, may served the longest and has the most impressive feats. He was on par with Arthur Dayne skill wise, the only slight advantage according to GRRM is his sword; Dawn. Give Barristan a Valerian steel sword, and he is unbeatable in his prime in 1 on 1, and Dayne loses his advantage, and draw is more likely between the two.

Boros Blount would kill all these guys using only his one arm

6:24 when i read this in the book, it gave me chills

Barristan went full 007 to save the mad king at duskendale to save the mad king as well as Ended the last blackfyre rebellion and much more. We don't know Duncs full story yet either. Dunc faced the laughing storm in a trial by combat and won, not to mention he died saving what he could of the royal family at summer hall. The dragon knight was a badass too, but its hard to be more badass than Barristan, Grrm said they were basically equal until you add in dawn. Barristan hands down the greatest

6:26 man i love the names in that story, here's pate the woodcock! loyal to Dickon steelbutt and under the banner of Woolcunt the brave. To this day he still remember his growing years when he was just a little page under the rule of SoftChode the Unerrected comonly known in the street of the Cockland's main cities as the Semi-knight and called the Wood of the morning by his enemies...These days were the good old days... days where he could still admire the beauty of the love of his life to be!!! Lady Deepcrack of the house Smellyfishcunthoe who had always been praised by everyone as a very generous house who produced many beautiful daughters and a single heir: Sir Boner Waters, who was later legitimized by his father, having only a single bastard and no male true heirs that was the only way he found to keep his family together under a male lead after his death... wich would come sooner than expected when Sir Coitus Humongous errected the long and thick shaft of his pointy spear and shoved it really deep into Smellyfishcunthoe's backside, blood pooring from his newly acquired slit, Smellyfishcunthoe cursed the name of Coitus with his dying breath, asking his guards to cut him down and piss on his corpse to avenge him. Ohhh i love the stories of this fantasy world!! A song of cocks and cunts.

I got F&B for Christmas and am stuck to it. Two things that stick out to me so far is I think that visenya used some sort of blood magic to create maegor since by all accounts she was most likely barren but out of nowhere gets pregnant and also maegor himself can't have a kid that isn't deformed so it reminds me of khal drogo still being alive because of blood magic but is a vegetable. Also I like the rule of exception that Jaehaerys created for the targaryens towards the faith which allows them to continue their incest

Jaehaerys' story will always be my favorite among the Targaryens and his kingsguard was indeed the greatest. I really hope we got House of the dragon soon so I can see this badass story play out

Jaeherys and Tywyn became my favorite characters.

In the 8th season Gandalf appears and with him he has his grandson Atreyu Rider of the last luckdragon

Pate the Woodcock and Samgood are very cool. I remember thinking that when I first read Fire and Blood. This is my favorite kings guard, even over Arthur Dayne and those guys

My grandfather got Fire and Blood but didn’t bring it with him because it was large and probably wouldn’t fit in his suitcase. We later saw it in a store while I was looking at Kingdom of Ash.

Do video about the princess who stole balerion. The one who died so badly that septon barth and the maester who treated her. Wouldn't talk about what happened to her. Maybe a speculation video. Please thanks

The Kingsguard is my favorite

Idk why people hate on Maegor so much-he literally protected his brother as hand.

Fuck. The mad King's roster was ABSOLUTELY stacked.

“So many vows... they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or the other.”

Ser Criston Cole was an absolute beast in a fight he probably could have beaten them all.

Was thier any kingsgard from the north as they didnt follow the traditions of the andals?

He should have had Karl fookin Tanner on the Kingsguard... ...He's a fookin LEGEND!

Yoh gotta go with jaehaerys having the best kingsguard since the author said so

In the entirety of GoT history who is considered the best swordsman.

What about 2 greatest kingsguard members of all time Prince Aemon the dragon knight and ser Ryam Redwyne

My Kingsguard rosters of all time: Ser Rickard Thorne, Ser Barristan Selmy the Bold, Ser Duncan the Tall, Ser Criston Cole the Kingmaker, Sandor Clegane, Ser Aemon the Dragonknight, Ser Samgood of Sour Hill.

The most legendary kingsguard-Aemon the Dragonknight The strongest kingsguard-Arthur Dayne

Barry the Bold! BARRY THE BOLD!!

Like to make the case that Ares had the most noble and cool kings guards of all the kings. Look at the names of the houses alone, Lannister, Hightower, Dayne, Dorry, Whent, Martell, Selmy. Connections to those houses alone could over throw a king. On top of this was the talent, Barston the bold, Auther Dayne sword of the morning, and Jamie Lannister the child prodigy. Ill take that vs any other kings guard in the history of this lore.

Barristan the Bold is my favourite.

No mention of Ryam Redwyne ?

Duncan the Tall is my favorite I know he not the best but he tries to be true Knight.

wait ! Mild Mannered Pate from Dark Souls 2 was a kings guard always keeping secrets

Maegor was a neccessary evil for the Targaryens if it wasn't for him the greatest King in all of Westeros would've never ascended to the Iron Throne he is the Young King, the Conciliator Jaehaerys first of his name Targaryen

MY PERSONAL kings guard :Prince Aemon the Dragon Knight (LordCom) :Ser Duncan The Tall :Ser Arthur Dayne :Ser Criston Cole Ser Brienne of Tarth :Lord Lynol Baratheon :Ser Berristan selmy

Why create do a video about who is the best kingsguard in mad king aerys reign.

6:30 where was Vermithor and Silverwing?

not to counter george but these guys cant hold a candle to the mad kings guard

If Arthur Dayne had survived, Jon Targaryen would sit the Iron Throne and the Night King would’ve stayed beyond the wall

In mad king reign u can't count jaime as great kings guard bcoz at that time he was young and not that much strong he came in his prime in Robert's reign

I think youve misinterpreted some stuff, Aegon had his own kingsguard squad as well

Aemon the dragonknight all the way! 👊🐉

Sword of the morning enough said .

my seven would be Sandor Clegane Gregor Clegane Arthur Dayne as lord commander Brienne of Tarth Jon snow Jaime Lannister with both hands and Daario Naharis pretty much unbeatable kingsguard.

Anyone else feel like Jahaerys was only normal because his mom was a velaryon? I kinda noticed in the Targaryen ancestry that the generation birthed from a non brother/sister incestuous marriage were less crazy than the offspring of King Uncle Daddy.

prince aemon tha dragon knight and barristton the bold are best these two have best feats

Samgood the toothless my mane!!! But my favorite is the dragon knight

The guy who uses 2 swords is the best

What about sir Redwyne?

GRR already said it. Ser Arthur Dayne is the greatest to ever wield a sword with Dawn, no one can beat him. But with 1 sword, Ser Barristan can stand toe to toe. But I'll take Ser Barristan over him cause of his achievements. Not the accolades.

what if pate was an unsullied or a remnant of empire of the dawns lockstep legions

I think rhaena was the most beautiful women in all Targaryen history

Aerys probably had the best kingsguard in terms of fighting ability, Jaeherys had the best kingsguard in terms of Loyalty to the death.

i wish grrm stops procrastinating and gives us winds of winter, fire and blood 2, a knight of seven kingdoms 2 and finally a dream of spring 😒

Arthur Dayne is probably the best warrior ever followed by Barristan the Bold then maybe Jaime Lannister. But Jahaerys 7 together were the best kingsguard. There's many great knights in the history of the realm. Bold Jon Roxton. Lyn Corbray. Unwin Peake. Lyonel Baratheon. Daemon Targaryen.

Still believe mad king had better kingsgaurd. Ser Arthur, Ser Barriston and Ser Jaime could have easily cut down at least 35-40 before they die.

Idk I think the mad king still has them beat. Three knights on it where described as the best swordsman ever. The others are all extremely skilled as well.

Its sad how samgood died only from a disease

If i had the ability to choose a kingsgaurd from Westeros Arthur Dayne Barristan Selmy Qhuorin halfhand Daemon Targarian The hound Duncan the Tall Oberyn Martell
