The largest and most dangerous during medieval times was the catalan company under Roger de Flor. It's amazing how powerful they were, razing everything in their path in the Med sea (Sicily, Balkans, Byzantium and the Ottoman turks)

The Famous white company at max numbered 9000 men. They started at around 200 archers.


Biggest probably was from Asia, considering you can hire whole fucking Steppe Nomad Tribes there. Babur for example, became a mercenary with 10,000 of his feudal personal troops following the seizure of his lands by Uzbeks.
