No, I'm basing my decisions off of first hand knowledge (as a reader), not off of what I've heard people mention about a guy who seems to have been killed by Howland Reed and has a cool sword

When Jamie Lannister, Barristan Selmy and Ned Stark call you the finest knight theyve ever seen then you're a motherfricking beast

I'm sure he was a beast, I was also choosing people who were at least alive at the start of the series

This seems to be a list of favorite fighters rather than a kingsguard. Not only would this bunch end up murdering you and each other within a year, but there is no way you could get Khal Fing Drogo on a Kingsguard

Khal drogo would get wrecked in westeros. There's a reason people wore armor. It's because it prevented their insides from turning into outsides......

Lol, whatever. I choose the best warriors. From a mount, I doubt there is any better than k drogo.

Carson's list is weak sauce.

Says you, you don't realize I'm the baddest mother fricker in the 7 kingdoms. So I doubt any would even dream about insulting me.

Obviously all are in their prime.

1. (Lord Commander) Ned Stark
2. Barriston Selmy
3. Arthur Dayne
4. The Red Viper
5. Syrio Forel
6. Aemon Targaryen
7. Thoros of Myr

I thought about Cregan Stark as a wildcard. Don't know much about him but Aemon "The Dragonknight" Targaryen claimed he never fought a finer swordsman.

What happened when unarmored mounted mongols faced the armored knights of Europe?

Yeah, all of the knights died.

Yoren was a recruiter for a reason..... Because he had a twisted back and a weak arm. Therefore he is at the nights watch where he belongs

However the kings guard spend the majority of their time on their feet. Their skill as light cavalry would not serve them well at all as a knight of the Kingsguard. It would serve as a hindrance and drogo would die and die early,

He was pretty damn good on his feet too as witnessed in his final fight. Now taking orders? He probably would have trouble with. lol

This is your list?

7. Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell


Again, if it was a "Favorite badasses" list, yours would be great. But a a Kingsguard unit, it's terrible

Very little loyalty, lots of people with outside motives and ambitions to rule. And a fricking man of many faces? What good is Jaqen H'ghar going to be as a kingsguard? His best attribute is pointless if he's running around in white cloaks all the time. He would be quite a bad arse lord of whispers however
