In the context of the game lore, one would assume Lord Gwyn faced many challengers to his authority and was able to maintain his dominance. In order to be a king, besides being strong you have to be very cunning and he most likely would know his faithful knights weaknesses and could use them to an advantage. Furthermore it is unlikely that Gwyn would let anyone he remotely considered a threat anywhere near him.
