Would you say that the reason the three Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy wouldn’t surrender is that they believed that the infant they were guarding the was the king? How much of the sorry state of the Kingsguard in the main story can be laid at their feet due to their gallant, but ultimately pointless sacrifice?

I think so. And a fair bit, although you can’t absolve Robert of the responsibility for making some really poor choices due to inattention.
