The High Seneschal

“So-called Hedge Knights travel the world in search of employment. Owning little but their arms, armor, and their horse, these landless nobles are shunned and disdained_except in times of war. With their blades for hire, and supplying their own equipment, nobles from all sides of the War of Five Kings can find a use for half dozen or so trained knights on the battlefield. That said, their equipment rarely matches that of true knights.”
