In the 14th and early 15th century bands of mercenaries, whose contracts with their masters had expired, were the scourge of medieval Kingdom of Dericania. In the late 1430s, unemployed Derian mercenaries pillaged across southern Dericania. Eventually some were recruited by southern mercenary captains who hired them out to the royal companies raised by order of the local princes, who it seems regarded them as a major impediment to peaceful rule. They extorted protection money from local peasants as well as exacting tolls from passing merchants and holding local important people for ransom. | In the 14th and early 15th century bands of mercenaries, whose contracts with their masters had expired, were the scourge of medieval Kingdom of Dericania.
