King Maegor's laws, or Maegor's laws, forbid holy men in Seven Kingdoms from being able to bear arms. It was by Maegor the Cruel’s decree that the Faith laid down its swords three hundred years ago.

Origins

Historically, two military orders, collectively known as the Faith Militant, made trouble for the nobles and royalty of the Seven Kingdoms.

When the Faith Militant uprising began, King Aenys I Targaryen was unable to deal with the crisis and much of the responsibility of handling the revolt fell on his half-brother Maegor’s shoulders. In order to put down the revolt Maegor enacted laws forbidding Holy men from being able to bear arms.
