5. The Kingsguard And Gold Cloaks Are The Same
Trending
This is frequently confusing because both organizations wear very similar uniforms. The Kingsguard wears all white and silver clothing in the books, including armor and belt buckles. In Game of Thrones, only their cloaks and armor designs visually distinguish them from the Gold Cloaks. Especially during battle scenes, it can be not easy to distinguish one from the other. Despite wearing similar clothing on the show, the Kingsguard and Gold Cloaks are entirely different. The Kingsguard traditionally consists of the seven best knights in Westeros, who are bound to defend the current king and their royal family. Every participant is committed for life and cannot possess property, sire offspring or marry. Becoming a member of the Kingsguard is seen as the greatest honor, and numerous famous knights have been enlisted throughout history. 'Gold Cloaks' is a nickname for the City Watch of King's Landing.
