War for the White Cloaks
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
By 49 AC the young King Jaehaerys still had five vacant spots in the Kingsguard to fill. During the Golden Wedding of Queen Regent Alyssa Velaryon and Lord Rogar Baratheon, it was decided to fill the remaining five slots by a test of arms since knights from all over the realm 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.

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 honour of serving in the Kingsguard.[1]
