Lord Commander Benfry Smith announces the formation of a new body. The King's Men will be a small group of around 50-60 knights and men-at-arms. They will be responsible for providing palace security around the King's quarters as well as providing additional protection in battle. These men will be sworn directly to the King, through Benfry, and not to the Lord Regent through a simplified version of the Kingsguard oath. They will replace the goldcloaks in standing duty at the King's side.
They will be hand-picked and vetted prior to entry. To gain admittance, applicants must at least pass the following requirements:
Westerosi citizenship - no applicants from the Free Cities or beyond will be considered.
No heirs or sons of important ruling lords - this body is not about personal fame or glory
No criminals - those who have offended the laws of gods and men have already proven themselves incapable of holding a vow or obeying their liege lords.
