By 49 AC the young king Jaehaerys still had five vacant spots in the Kingsguard to fill. During the Golden Wedding of his mother Queen Regent Alyssa Velaryon and Hand of the King Lord Rogar Baratheon, it was decided to fill the remaining five slots by a test of arms since knights from all over the realms had come to attend the nuptials, Jaehaerys agreed, but with a twist, the knights must fight on foot not the joust, for foes seldom strike a king via horseback.[1]

The wild melee's and bloody duels that followed were dubbed by maesters as the War for the White Cloaks with hundreds of knights competing for the honor of serving in the Kingsguard.[1]
