An excerpt from A Game of Thrones, during a flashback sequence.
______________________________________________
“I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them.
“We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered.
“Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell.
“When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.”
“Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit on the Iron Throne and our false brother would burn in seven hells.”
“I came down on Storm's End to lift the siege,” Ned told them, and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. I was certain you would be among them.”
“Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne.
“Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I thought you might have sailed with him.”
“Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell.
“But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.”
“Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm.
“We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold.
Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three.
“And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light.
“No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.”

Supposedly, Arthur Dayne could have beaten all 6 other members of the Kingsguard with one hand whilst taking a piss with his right. Mr. Martin himself says he could have defeated even Barristan Selmy with Dawn giving him the edge. Otherwise, they would have been virtually equal in skill.

i still dont understand why Rhegar would have 3 of the most important members of his fathers kingsguard(who were really needed at the Trident and Kings Landing) protect 1 girl. I mean i understand that he loved Lyanna but he couldve just guards from house martell or from his own house.

That's why there are people who believe that Jon Snow is actually the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar. Some even think he might have married Lyanna polygamously, and this holds some substance… three members of the Kingsguard to protect one girl, even if he loved her, makes little sense, but to protect both her and their coming child does, especially if that child would be a legitimate one.

But did Rhaegar even care about his other two children? He should've known that if he died they would've been in danger?
