−	In the books, it is Boros Blount the one who carries out Joffrey's orders to undress and beat [[Sansa Stark]] instead of Ser Meryn. He's also absent during the Battle of the Blackwater, having been dismissed for cowardice after yielding Prince [[Tommen]] to Tyrion's agents when the Prince is smuggled out of King's Landing to protect his life from the impending attack by Stannis Baratheon. However, he is reinstated to the Kingsguard by [[Tywin Lannister]] upon his return as Hand of the King, to fill the vacancy left by [[the Hound]] when he deserted. Jaime thinks that his sister should have never dismissed Boros, but their father only compounded the shame by reinstating him.	+	In the books, it is Boros Blount who carries out Joffrey's orders to undress and beat [[Sansa Stark]] instead of Ser Meryn.

−	Following Joffrey's death by poisoning, Jaime makes Boros the offical food taster for King Tommen, as he deems him unfit to do anything else. Boros considers this a shameful post for a knight of the Kingsguard, grabs the hilt of his sword and says angrily "You should be the food taster, it seems to me. What else is a cripple good for?". Jaime smiles and challenges Boros to fight him, although he is aware that even fat, aging and ordinary swordman like Boros can hack him into bloody pieces. Luckily for Jaime, Boros is too coward to accept the challenge. He spits at Jaime's feet and storms outside, but complies in this new role.	+	Following Joffrey's death by poisoning, Jaime makes Boros the offical food taster for King Tommen, as he deems him unfit to do anything else.

−	In the [[Trial of Tyrion Lannister]], Boros testifies after Meryn Trant, repeating what Meryn said. Whatever mislike Boros may harbors toward Cersei for dismissing him from the Kingsguard, he says the words she wants all the same.	+	In the [[Trial of Tyrion Lannister|trial of Tyrion Lannister]], Boros testifies after Meryn Trant, repeating what Meryn said.

	Sansa thinks that Boros Blount is "the worst of the Kingsguard, an ugly man with a foul temper, all scowls and jowls", which is quite an accurate description of him.
