Hi Steve just had a quick question, the Golden Company always reminded me of the Flight of the Earls and the Wild Geese, I was wondering if there are any other historical examples of exiles forming mercenary groups that parallell the Golden Company? Cheers!

GRRM has an even closer parallel to the Wild Geese in the Company of the Rose, founded by men and women from the North who refused to accept Torrhen Stark’s submission to House Targaryen.
