  • The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard is the leader of the Kingsguard, appointed by the king himself. The king usually appoints a new Lord Commander from one of the current serving members of the Kingsguard, though there may have been exceptional cases in which a knight was instantly appointed to the Kingsguard as well as the position of Lord Commander. The position was presumably founded, along with the Kingsguard itself, by King Aegon I Targaryen, Aegon the Conqueror, who conquered and united the Seven Kingdoms three hundred years before the War of the Five Kings.

abstract
  • The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard is the leader of the Kingsguard, appointed by the king himself. The king usually appoints a new Lord Commander from one of the current serving members of the Kingsguard, though there may have been exceptional cases in which a knight was instantly appointed to the Kingsguard as well as the position of Lord Commander. The Lord Commander wears the same uniform armor as the regular members of the Kingsguard, with no difference in appearance or regalia. Given that there are only seven Kingsguard members at any one time, including the Lord Commander himself, it is usually an easy matter to keep track of their identities at court and on the battlefield. The position was presumably founded, along with the Kingsguard itself, by King Aegon I Targaryen, Aegon the Conqueror, who conquered and united the Seven Kingdoms three hundred years before the War of the Five Kings. The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard also holds a seat on the king's Small Council by virtue of his office. His role on the council is to give military advice on land-based warfare (separate from the Master of Ships, who handles naval affairs).
