Hedge knights are so named because most of their worldly wealth is in their arms and horses and they generally must sleep outdoors, under a hedge.

Less scrupulous hedge knights put their martial training to use by resorting to banditry.
Sellswords

Knights
2000 gold for 100 Knights
In reality, skill at arms is the most important aspect of knighthood. Knights are expected to fight whenever there is a need for them. They traditionally fight as heavy cavalry, wearing plate armor and fighting from horseback with lance, sword and shield. Some knights choose to fight with other weapons such as axes, hammers, and spears as well. They own at least one horse, and typically own two: a fierce warhorse and a milder horse for daily riding.
Special Units
Northern Cavalry
2000 gold for 500 Northern Cavalry
Because few Northerners worship the Seven, they rarely choose to become knights. However, the warrior tradition of the North is very similar to that of knighthood. Heavy cavalrymen in the North serve a nearly identical function to knights in the South, and are considered knights in all but name. Available only to northmen
Mountain Clans
1000 gold for 1000 Clansmen
They are a poor people with poor quality of weapons and armor, they subsist by raiding local villages, small groups of travelers and will attack even the Lord of the Eyrie if he is not properly protected.

The Unsullied
500,000 gold for 10,000 Unsullied
The Unsullied are eunuch slave soldiers, trained from a young age in Astapor to unquestioning obedience and martial prowess. They are used as guards all over the Free Cities. They are sold by the century or the thousand. They make excellent guards, do not loot and will never rape.
They were most famously used in the Battle of Qohor, where three thousand Unsullied held back a Dothraki khalasar over fifty thousand strong. Only 600 of the Unsullied survived, having killed 12,000 of the Dothraki. To honor the Unsullied, the Dothraki rode in before the Unsullied line, throwing their cut braids down in front of them.
Ironborn
1500 gold for 1000 Ironborn men
The Ironborn, also known as the Ironmen are the natives of the Iron Islands off the west coast of Westeros. The Ironmen are fierce men of the sea, and their naval supremacy was once unmatched, their dark legacy of raids and pillage of the hinterlands of the western and southern regions granting them, to this day, a fearsome reputation as the "terror of the seas". Ironborn women may fight as well as a man, and may crew a longship or even captain their own ships. It is said that the sea gives them the appetites of a man. Available only to Ironislanders
Goldcloaks
1000 gold for 500 Gold cloacks
The City Watch wear cloaks, usually made of heavy wool, dyed gold. Their ringmail, boots, and gloves are black. The officers (such as the captains of the gates into the city) wear black breastplates ornamented with four golden disks. They can be used as guards, foot soldiers or in some cases, as mounted lancers. Nonetheless, the watchmen are not true soldiers, and their discipline in a pitched battle shows this fact. The Gold Cloaks use iron cudgels and spears topped by black iron heads. Available only to the King
