If you're a soldier of fortune that someone is willing to pay you're not going to be some idiot that can barely wield a sword. Case and Point, The Swiss Guard. Mercenaries were usually warriors who fought for a profit. Many of them were skilled fighters, but many more were just drunkards with axes. However, they were not uncommon during the Dark Ages and Medivial times. Many kings hired a dozen skilled mercenaries or more to be their guards.
