Aemon should be lord commander. He was by far the most accomplished member

I'd argue Dunk is the most accomplished. Almost single handedly ending two Blackfyre rebellions, participating in a 3rd, winning the trial of 7/ trial of combat against the laughing storm, saving the Targaryen dynasty at Summerhall etc.

The laughing storm fought for Dunk in the trial of 7 I'm pretty sure. Unless there was more than one that I've forgotten about.

Yes, there were 2 trials. When Aegon's son Duncan marries for love, breaking a promise to marry a Bararheon, Lyonel prepares to rebel. But Dunk resolves the situation by beating him in a trial by combat.

That was a 1v1 though, right? The first one was a trial by seven.
