Sworn Sword

A Sworn Shield or Sworn Sword is a knight, sellsword, or a similar warrior who makes an oath to serve an individual by contract, often as a bodyguard, soldier, or champion.
== Duties ==
Many lords and lordlings keep a retinue of knights and Sworn Swords in their service, including at court. Sworn swords can fight in their lord's host during wartime.
The Kingsguard are a specialized and most prestigious type of sworn shield, sworn to the King of the Andals, Talmar, and Easternlings. However, an individual Kingsguard may be appointed the sworn shield of another member of the royal family, and a non-Kingsguard may also serve as the king's sworn shield.
