Sellswords are professional mercenary soldiers. I don't lend it out to friends as a favor." ― Bronn While mercenaries are often referred to as "sellswords" as a catch-all term, this is strictly speaking only one of three different subdivisions of mercenaries: sellswords, freeriders, and sellsails. These sellsword armies often switch sides or abandon their employer when they realize that their patron is losing a battle or when the enemy offers them better coin. While this may be sometimes the case, in truth a large extent of the day to day combat in real wars in both Westeros and Essos is fought by hired sellswords, often companies of sellswords, fighting only for money.

Songs of chivalry and romance often portray war as a glamorous series of duels between knights in shining armor: fighting for love, honor and homeland. Knights tend to look down on sellswords, due to their usually low-birth and their reputation as rogues. A sellsword that has significantly distinguished himself in combat may even be rewarded by being dubbed a knight, though this is uncommon. Provided that he survives that long, a veteran sellsword may become a highly skilled fighter. Thus even a mercenary that is initially low-born and without expensive training will gain a great amount of combat experience ("hands on" training) throughout his career. However, even sellswords who receive no "formal" training make a living by engaging in combat on a regular basis. They are often professional soldiers, moving from one temporary contract to the next, though particularly poor-quality sellswords might just be a gang of untrained thugs. The quality and reputation of sellswords ranges across a very wide spectrum. They are most commonly known by the term " sellsword", as they sell their services with a sword. Ī mercenary is an independent soldier who has no official allegiance to any lord or country, but who instead hires out his services for payment.

Jorah Mormont: " They can be trusted to kill you, if they're well-paid." - Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jorah Mormont discuss mercenaries.
