The Maiden's Men are a sellsword company in the Free Cities.[1] They are recorded as having an unsavory reputation.[2]

History

During his exile from Westeros, Ser Orryn Baratheon traveled from Tyrosh to Myr, where he signed on with the Maiden's Men. He was killed soon afterwards in the Disputed Lands during a battle with the Men of Valor.[2]

After the defeat at the Battle of the Redgrass Field in the First Blackfyre Rebellion, those lords and knights who went into exile with Ser Aegor Rivers began to sign on to sellsword companies, such as the Maiden's Men. This would cause Aegor to make his own company, the Golden Company.[1]

The Tattered Prince was once a member of the company prior to founding the Windblown.[3]
