@Quetzalcoatl Trant and Blount are Kings Guard but they're basically thugs in armor. Nothing special about them and they were merely assigned to the Kings Guard since they're from vassal houses under House Baratheon not for their skill. Jamie and Barristan were the only members left that were kingsguard because of their skill. The mad king had the greatest kings guard.

Wish they'd kept his full speech from the books. Sansa heard someone gasp. Ser Boros and Ser Meryn moved forward to confront him, but Ser Barristan froze them in place with a look that dripped contempt. "Have no fear, sers, your king is safe . . . no thanks to you. Even now, I could cut through the five of you as easy as a dagger cuts cheese. If you would serve under the Kingslayer, not a one of you is fit to wear the white." He flung his sword at the foot of the Iron Throne. "Here, boy. Melt it down and add it to the others, if you like. It will do you more good than the swords in the hands of these five. Perhaps Lord Stannis will chance to sit on it when he takes your throne."

All whilst being undetected. Selmy is the best fighter alive in westeros. After his famous rescue (single handedly) of king Aerys at Duskendale and also his killing of Maelys the Monstrous in single combat, a man whose size and ferocity is possibly moreso than the mountain as he had killed his cousin by twisting his head off.

Sir Selmy reaching for his sword silencing the laughter proved Cercei right about one thing. “Power is power.” Little finger may have had a nice witty comeback but Barristan would have cut down nearly everyone in the room and butchered Little Finger for his insult before being overwhelmed by numbers.

The man who was able to scare The Hound with a simple threat was taken out by a few thugs in an alley...great writing, D&D.

Haven't you seen his agility in his old age?....He approx. killed 12 sons and the 13th backstabbed him......which made him slow but still he killed 14 sons while he was on his knees.

@The Beast He was undefeatable in his prime.......Also he survived the battle of trident killing every valiant northern Knight...for which Ned told him I am glad we never met on the field...... Also look onto the fact that Ser Barristan was Robert's enemy on the trident....But Robert pardoned him and made him Lord commander of the kingsguard.....That shows how Honourable Selmy was....

@The Beast Let me tell you one thing The Mountain is a bad swordsman.....he is underrated only because of his ferocious strength.....and nothing else.....Selmy can gut him easily...... And why in seven hells should we compare a man who served 40 years being a kingsguard with a man who is not a good swordsman....

He still had so much to do in Game of Thrones but they killed him off in such an underwhelming and anticlimatic way. The actor actually talked about the fact that he was deeply disappointed, being one of the few actors who had actually read the books

Oh it's much worse than that. He expressed his concerns about being killed off too early and D&D being the egotistical twats that they are doubled down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_ai3eFpJpqaa8

The hall was filled with Kingsguard, Lannister soldiers and the city watch. Yet the room went silent when he drew his blade, that speaks for itself how great of a swordsman he was.

If the Hound grabs the hilt of his sword, with 5 kings guard standing in front of him along with the city watch, you know Selmy is an avengers level threat.

Incorrect! He’s obviously going to draw his sword if the king is threatened. Whether he be behind 5, 10, 15 guards in front of him! It’s his job to protect. It’s ok to be wrong though and come up with weird scenarios like the one you came up with. Maybe next time!

I love how Barristan just throws his sword on the ground and storms off. The second the room went silent from him drawing his sword he'd made his point. I'm sure he briefly considered fighting but he would not dishonor himself that way
