What's going on there? <br /><br />Both he and Jaime to me were amazing Kingsguards and neither of them were cut and dried characters.

I don't think the Kingsguard are given much attention on the show, which is understandable since they have limited time, but in the books with Jaime you get more about them.

The Kingsguard are definitely put into some pretty difficult, morally ambiguous situations at times.

You can see history repeating itself in wanting to stop the King raping his wife and what Brienne was saved from later. Does that make him in some ways more honourable than the knights he so admires? Possibly. I do agree that he gets the rough end of the deal. Nobody cared about the end of the Mad King but Jaime is still mocked for killing him.
