Kingsguard
The Kingsguard is an elite group of seven knights who serve as the royal bodyguard of the King. Their duty is to protect the king and the royal family from harm at all times. The Kingsguard swear the most holy of vows to fulfill their sacred duty, and are meant to be the living exemplars of the pinnacle of knightly virtues. Like the brothers of the Night's Watch, members of the Kingsguard are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking a wife, or fathering children.
The Kingsguard is led by the Lord Commander. Under normal circumstances, the Lord Commander sits on the Small Council as the King's advisor in military matters.
