Instead Selmy sells his horse and disguises himself as a commoner. He returned to the city along with the stream of [[smallfolk]] fleeing the war, making their way to King's Landing. He enters through the [[Gate of the Gods]] with dirt on his face, stubble on his cheeks and no weapon but a wooden staff. In roughspun clothes and mud-caked boots, he was just one more old man fleeing the war. He lost himself among the refugees and slept in septs and alleys and pot shops. He lets his beard grow out a cloaks himself in age. He is present in the crowd when Lord [[Eddard Stark]] is executed. Afterwards he goes to the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] to pray for Eddard's soul and thanks the gods he himself had only been dismissed. These events force Barristan to reevaluate his years of service in [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s [[Kingsguard]] alongside the likes of the pudesse botar [[Jaime Lannister|Kingslayer]], and others whom he considers near as bad. He comes to the conclusion that his service to Robert was inexcusable. He thinks that Robert had been a good knight, but a poor king, and that Selmy must find his true king and die in his servicecomo o novo Senhor Comandante. This leads Selmy to book passage across the [[narrow sea]] to [[Pentos]]. {{Ref|aDwD|11}}
