Kingsguard

"I swear to ward the king with all my strength, and give my blood for his. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall guard his secrets, obey his commands, ride at his side, and defend his name and honor."
―Oath of the Kingsguard.
The Kingsguard is an elite group of six knights who are one of the most skilled warriors in all of the Nine Kingdoms. They serve as the royal bodyguards to the king. Their duty is to protect the king and the royal family from harm at all times. The Kingsguard swears the most holy of vows to fulfill their sacred duty in the footsteps of their predecessors, the "Crownsguard", and - in theory - are meant to be the living exemplars of the pinnacle of knightly virtues. Members of the Kingsguard are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking wives, or fathering children.
The Kingsguard was founded by King Alfonso Royne, popularly known as "Alfonso the Last" in 242 CE. The Kingsguard wore signature all-charcoal and silver ivory cloaks, and gold armor with yellow enameling. For this reason they were called the "Gold Cloaks". During the York Reign, the Kingsguard wore signature all-white cloaks and fine silver armor, for this reason, they were called the "White Cloaks", or the "White Swords". 
The deeds of every knight that has served in the Crownsguard is kept in a large book called the "The Book of Brothers". The book is stored in the Orysfort Garrison, the Seat and Barracks of the Kingsguard. It is the responsibility of the current Lord Commander to keep all entries updated.
The Kingsguard is led by the Lord Commander, currently Ser . The Lord Commander appears to have no marks on his armor to distinguish him from other members. Under normal circumstances, the Lord Commander sits on the Royal Council as the King's advisor in military matters. However, Barristan Selmy did not sit on King Petruccio's Royal Council due to Ser Daemon's previous allegiance to the switch of Rulers of the Second Dynasty.
