Daenerys in Astapor
Selected reading
Barristan Selmy earned the name the Bold as a boy, joined the Kingsguard at twenty three, and became one of Westeros's most respected knights. He fought for the Targaryens, survived the Defiance of Duskendale, and was wounded at the Trident before continuing to serve Robert Baratheon. The article follows his long career, his strict view of Kingsguard vows, and the choices that carry him into later service.
