Ser Greg of House House Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'd go one step further and make them all eunuchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Blue Eyes Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Because chastity belts are a sexual fetish, not something that could be worn constantly without damage. And KGs with the knobs chafed off may take out their frustrations on somebody close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 To quote Mr Bell: "These are the hard hitting questions that makes us return to the forum" You know, some people take their vows seriously. There are even those in Westeros... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I always wondered if the KG members were frequent m****** Like how do they keep to those vows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe42m1 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Castration can lead to complications including death by infection. Not something you wanna do to the greatest and most loyal knights in the realm. I think the bigger issue is prohibiting them from having a woman (or man i guess) or child that could compromise their emotion or ability to do their job. Similar to the Night's Watch, some of them screw around but emotional attachments are the dangerous part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gneisenau Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Doesn't cutting off a man's make him weaker? I'm pretty cutting a man doesn't make them a man anyone in eyes of the people of Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Reaver Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 A vow isn't worth much if you physically are incapable of breaking it. It'd be like a mute swearing never to tell a secret. Not really worth all that much, since he can't! In order to demonstrate their devotion to the King, they are supposed to be abstinent. If they're eunuchs, they pretty much have to be, so why make the vow at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJR the PR of TaFW Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 i think it had some to do with they being "the best and most honorable knights in the kingdoms". wouldn't enforcing something like that place doubt in the the eyes of everyone else?

Schmendrick Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Before Robert's Rebellion, the KG were reputed to be shining bastions of righteousness, so no chastity belt needed. If it was ever brought up after Robert took over, I'm pretty sure the conversation would have gone something like this: Ser Random Dude: We should totally make the Kingsguard wear chastity belts! Cersei: No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRON BANK Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Most knights can live up to their vows so the belts would not be needed. However other knights like the vile kingslayer who has no love for gods or men, his ilk cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Raven Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The current crop of KG is hardly a shining example of knightliness. Though it would be interesting to know if the current knights are uncommonly corrupt or if previous squads were overly lionized and their misdeeds didn't make it into the White Book.

"Celibacy is a hands-on job." ;) Game Over we have a tie for winning post. :D Doesn't cutting off a man's make him weaker? So how badass would Belwas be if he did have one?
