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.
they also had jaime lannister who was known to be a badass sword fighter so, arugably, the mad king had the three best swordsman in the world as his kingsguard at that point ( and throughout history )
@@abrahamnotlincoln3439 no jaime was not that much great in mad king's reign. Jaime was young at that time
he came in his prime in Robert's reign
@@hiddendagger7291 fair enough
@@hiddendagger7291 jaime is described by barristen as the best natural swordsman until he saw someone I can't remember. Jaime took off the head of an outlaw and crossed swords with the smiling knight and held his own. Jaime was 16 and physically strong enough to win a melee so I'd say jaime was close to his prime at that time.
@@princesurein7275 Naw jaime's actuall prime was after roberts rebellion but like barristan said jaime is probably the best natural swordsman who has ever existed
Arthur Dayne will always be my favourite
Nah Duncan the Tall for me
Aemon the Dragonknight for me
Lol no one like Gwen Corbray for some reason
Duncan the Tall is the best.
Selmy for me
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.
@Jack McLean blood raven was not in kings guard
same barristton the bold
he protected mad king many times
great knights similar to all the stupid honorable men like Ned to the point of stupidity.
I like backstabbers because everyone only cares about their endgame nobody cares about the realm
@@hiddendagger7291 aemon wasnt bloodraven
Becaue he swore an O A T H
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!
I agree, Dunk is the best.
It is known
Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall. The truest knight of them all!
Yeah. Dunk the Lunk is the greatest knight in Westeros imo. Pure of heart. Strong of arm. Love the Dunk and Egg tales
“Was I out having a squat when Ser Eustace named you heir to Standfast!?”
“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!
What scene was this?
I believe the fever dream Ned has
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
Daemon Targaryen would fit with those but not Blackfyre
@@beyreli3988 I included him because I wanted an infamous “Prince” in my Dark Seven as a counterpart to Prince Aemon the Dragonknight. The ultimate rebel “Prince” fits perfectly to this concept. Both were peerless swordsmen, so that’s a bonus
It feels weird to hear SIR Joffrey
Joffrey dayne as well
Named pate and uses a spear. hmmmmm *Dark Souls*
Named Pate, hmmm is it the pig boy or is it the faceless man?
I thought the same think lol. GRRM ended up working with FromSoft on their new game Elden Ring. Perhaps he is a fan of Bloodsouls?
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.
'ever seen' is super subjective. Frankly speaking the loyalty and devotion jaeheries kingsguard had shown, I don't think any other kings guard demonstrated that level of friendship, loyalty and devotion. Jaeheries first 7 was also very kind humans. Not to mention those 7 almost declared war on the entire kingdom just to protect jaeheries.
They might've been three of the greatest fighters but Jaehaerys' kingsguard were definitely no slouches. They probably could have fought Aerys' kingsguard to a standstill. But I believe Aerys' kingsguard fought for him out of honor, not true loyalty. Jaehaerys' kingsguard were extremely loyal.
He literally got killed by his kingsguard.
GRRM literally said it himself that Jaehaerys’s Kingsguard was the best that any king had, every member was a legend, while Aerys’s had one of the best Kingsguard, half of its members were only legends, the rest top tier fighters but not not to the point of being legendary warriors.
@@baron6588 So legendary that I can't recall any of their names.
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.
Don’t forget Jaime who Barristan describes as the greatest swordsman he ever saw
I mean, yet again, they had Prince Lewyn Martell, Ser Oswell Whent, Ser Gerold Hightower, and Ser Darry. All of them above average fighters and knights. What I think people forget is, at the end of the day, these guys made the Kingsguard for a reason, and that by itself is a estimate to their skill (besides robert's kingsguard)
Lord Commander Ser Gerold Hightower, the White Bull, was considered a great warrior. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be considered the equal to Jaehaerys' kingsguard.
@@ColdSleep well George RR Martin said that it is like that so there is no need for discussion. Jaehaerys had overall the best kingsguard ever if you take all members together but the two best warriors of all time were Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne as he said. Remember that Gerald Hightower was killed by Ned and his companions while Arthur Dayne managed to fight the best of them simultaneously and only was killed by backstabbing and Barristan was his equal. They were all great but Barristan and Arthur were just multiple leagues above someone like Gerold Hightower or Oswell Whent. The two of them combined would probably be able to crush any other kingsguard except the one of King Jaehaerys
@@williamparabellum2787 of course. I'm just saying there is a difference even among top tier fighters and while King Jaehaerys kingsguard had the highest skill if you combine every member the two most skilled individuals were of course Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne
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
Sam Good sounds like Old Man Logan.
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!
id love to see whycreate do a video on the queensguard, such interesting characters and events
Females always be mad at something
Lmaoooo
Meryn Trant would defeat all of them with his eyes poked out
Spectrent Meryn fuucckkkin Traantt ? Lol
@@cristoda21yonko any boy WHORE with a sword can beat three Meryn Trants. remember that
tHeWasTeDYouTh lol sure do.. love it and when he’s like the greatest swordsman didn’t have sword 😂😂
Spectrent I hate to say It but I can’t cant tell if this is a joke or something
Nice one! Luvly sarcasm. I know u know my grandma can kick Meryn fucking Trant's ass👌👍
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:)
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.
Criston is a rotten bastard but I cannot deny his fighting prowess.
dayne would kill him blindfolded
@@rishiranganath9249 probably
I really like the concept of the kingsguard and love the lore videos about them. keep it up.
These guys seem so awesome. Kind of hoping the GRRM writes the White Book some day (after TWOW of course).
Good idea
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.
Aemon as Lord Commander, Arthur Dayne, Baristan Selmy, Jaime Lannister, Duncan the Tall, The Hound and finally, The Mountain That Rides.
Almost too easy
Stumbled across this channel, watched most of your videos and I just want to say you do a awesome job man. Keep it up!
I'm a new sub but I binged alot of your videos! How do you not have more subscribers?
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.
Thank you :)
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
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.
Another great video! Keep it up!
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
Its official guys - Jaehaerys' kingsguard > the Mad King's
whycreate i do not think so. Do not reply
Miquel Canosa Santeularia you cant stop me
@@miquelcanosasanteularia1678 why don't you want us to reply?
jbot91 do not want a long discussion
@@miquelcanosasanteularia1678 then dont respond. it's debatable so you cant just deny it
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.
Antoine Vello Dunc wasn't that deadly..
@@seponsacoolya He didn't have to be. If you were about to get into a fight with 6 of your guys vs a guy the size of Hafthor Bjornsson or Andrew the Giant are you guys not going to have second thoughts?
Antoine Vello he's taller than those men, but nowhere near the "size" of those men, assuming it's 6-1 I still damn sure wouldn't WANT to fight him but I'm sure, we win, that being said 6v1 I'd choose him confidently and every single time oppose to 6v1 and the one is Aemon Barristan Arthur or Jaime
@@seponsacoolya See that's all I needed you to say. Even 6 v 1 you still damn sure wouldn't want to fight a 7 ft tall dude bedecked in armor even though with such bad odds chances are you and your guys are going to win. That's how the 50 men vs the kingsguard works, sure they could win, but no one wants to get slaughtered before they eventually win.
So Duncan doesn't need to be the S+ tier fighter that other members of the kingsguard were, he just needs to make a normal knight think "This dude might kill me and my friends," and I argue at 7ft tall even more people would think that.
Antoine Vello ...no... There's no IF in a 50v7 assuming there's no X factors involving position or weaponry, just a level field 50v7, the 50 wins, period. All I said is I wouldn't want to fight a 7footer but I'm damn sure not gonna back down to one especially when I have the odds, that's ME, now if assuming I'm an ill-informed uneducated serf or whatever that psychological effect could turn the tides in a lot of slanted battles...but unless I'm applying that hedge, it doesn't workout for Dunc, I don't WANT an issue with a 7ft giant but if the options are historically renowned killers, give me the giant every single time
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!
Thanks Cole! Unfortunately, aside from the names we know very little bout this region. My Yi Ti video covers any lore that's found here
@@whycreate thanks for responding, I will go watch that now
This was one of your best videos
Not one wes-tree-os slip
Your channel is so good, i hope you will grow as big as other channels GoT like AltShiftX
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.
Gerold Hightower Arthur Dayne, Dunk and Oswell when will always be my favourites
selmy?
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:)
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
Please post more of kingsguard video!!!
"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 ;)
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.
I'm not sure about that because supposedly Jaime Lannister was on Par with Barristan and Jaime himself admitted that he was nowhere close to as good as Arthur Dayne.
@@dhruv9744 Jaime on par with old Barristan, even more so he implied three people in all of Westeros could possibly beat him and many think Barristan is one of the three in even his old age. Prime Barristan was stated by the author pretty much equal with Dayne but Dayne has Dawn which rivals Valerian steel in term of edge and strength. Don't refer to the show alone.
A reply by GRRM when asked by fan who will win between Barristan and Dayne: i.imgur.com/NbDJG.jpg
Ser Meryn Trant is greater than all of them
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.
Criston Cole in single combat
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
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
Enough said bro , you just laid down a solid case for Barristan being the best kingsguard of all time.
Who is yours ?
6:24 when i read this in the book, it gave me chills
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
Mane shit gonna be lit prolly in a few months DjjdjdJdjdjd🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
House ofthedragon is about the dance of the dragon, it wouldnt have Jaeharys
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
Pate is particularly interesting. His spear fighting would suggest that he's Dornish, but his name is more common outside of Dorne. He is young so he wouldn't have been in loads of battles to gain experience, and he seems to be a commoner (or at very least a hedge knight) so its unclear where he would have got his training from.
@@thisguyhere5837My personal headcanon is that he’s a bastard born between parents from both sides of the Dornish Marches, one from Dorne and one from either the Reach or Stormlands.
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
Jaehaerys reign was too good 😂
Boros Blount would kill all these guys using only his one arm
😂😂
Agent K well yes but its unfair to count boros blount he’s basically a dragon
@@dhruv9744 I don't know, the woodcock my have him beat lol
Jaeherys and Tywyn became my favorite characters.
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.
In the 8th season Gandalf appears and with him he has his grandson Atreyu Rider of the last luckdragon
that's better than what we actually got
Fuck. The mad King's roster was ABSOLUTELY stacked.
He should have had Karl fookin Tanner on the Kingsguard...
...He's a fookin LEGEND!
What about 2 greatest kingsguard members of all time Prince Aemon the dragon knight and ser Ryam Redwyne
Ser Criston Cole was an absolute beast in a fight he probably could have beaten them all.
He is one of the best Kingsgaurd. His weapon the morningstar is cool
I doubt he could beat Arthur or Selmy.
@@BruceWayne-fj9bm while I agree that Arthur would win he would definitely take a beating. Selmy would be a tough fight but I believe Cole would overpower him with his raw strength and tenacity.
Criston prime vs Jaimie prime i think Jaimie will eat Criston alive lmao
@@christophervicknair545 would ser crispy beat Arthur if he’s fighting with dawn?
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 Kingsguard is my favorite
“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.”
Was thier any kingsgard from the north as they didnt follow the traditions of the andals?
Yoh gotta go with jaehaerys having the best kingsguard since the author said so
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.
Duncan the Tall is my favorite I know he not the best but he tries to be true Knight.
Idk why people hate on Maegor so much-he literally protected his brother as hand.
His military experience was good, his diplomatic skills weren't that good, not to mention all the wives he had.
@@sonofjack6286 he was a wonderful hand
Barristan the Bold is my favourite.
The most legendary kingsguard-Aemon the Dragonknight
The strongest kingsguard-Arthur Dayne
Barry the Bold! BARRY THE BOLD!!
wait ! Mild Mannered Pate from Dark Souls 2 was a kings guard always keeping secrets
GOOD I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT!
Why create do a video about who is the best kingsguard in mad king aerys reign.
Arthur Dayne.Done.No video needed
@@dhruv9744 yeah we know but everyone should know and why . Its will be fun telling how deadly ser Arthur Dayne . There's some who believe baristan selmy
In the entirety of GoT history who is considered the best swordsman.
arthur dayne maybe
In all the stories, w/ all the characters it, only one commented on the issue. That character says Daemon Blackfyre is the greatest swordsman ever. He claims Daemon could best any Sword of the Morning or even Prince Aemon the Dragonknight.
Samgood the toothless my mane!!! But my favorite is the dragon knight
MY PERSONAL kings guard
:Prince Aemon the Dragon Knight (LordCom)
:Ser Duncan The Tall
:Ser Arthur Dayne
:Ser Criston Cole

:Ser Berristan selmy

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
No mention of Ryam Redwyne ?
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.
Sword of the morning enough said .
what if pate was an unsullied or a remnant of empire of the dawns lockstep legions
prince aemon tha dragon knight
and barristton the bold are best
these two have best feats
If Arthur Dayne had survived, Jon Targaryen would sit the Iron Throne and the Night King would’ve stayed beyond the wall
I think youve misinterpreted some stuff, Aegon had his own kingsguard squad as well
Aemon the dragonknight all the way! 👊🐉
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
not to counter george but these guys cant hold a candle to the mad kings guard
facts
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.
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.
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 😒
The guy who uses 2 swords is the best
6:30 where was Vermithor and Silverwing?
Probably in some sort of dragon stables on Dragonstone.
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.
The best kingsguard where the dragons them selfs no ?? Lmao !
Love your videos but man....either get a better mic or speak a bit slower/clearer. I find myself scrolling back on the video or try to decipher the auto-generated captions. Anyways keep up the good work.
Sounds like you have lisp or something. Something else I think would be helpful is put a text/picture of any or all characters/places you talk about. Not trying to be rude or anything. Just hoping my criticisms could help you improve your videos on easily adjusted issues and help your channel grow. Best of luck to you
What about sir Redwyne?
Aerys probably had the best kingsguard in terms of fighting ability, Jaeherys had the best kingsguard in terms of Loyalty to the death.
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.
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.
I love you, you must know that, ok?
