  1. The "Great Companies" reminds me of the second Norse Siege of Paris. Unlike the previous attack many decades before, these men had no leader and the mob formed around a small company of Norse intending on a quick punitive raid on Paris. The mayor of Paris came out to negotiate and asked "Who is your King." The reply was "We are all Kings." Same behavior, different era.

  2. The real mystery is why so many states chose to hire security contractors when reservist armies and nationalist armies were already in use in some places.
