Does Robert keeping Jaime and Selmy in the Kingsguard make any sense? You can argue political reasons for Jaime and a show of continuity for Selmy, but in the end how wise is it to keep bodyguards of a former king you’ve toppled? I know Selmy was a loyal knight but I would tend to think of him as an outlier

Kingsguard are supposed to be loyal to the institution, not the man, so no I don’t think that’s a problem. More of a problem to have a kingslayer, I would think.
