As per a request from a Lady to ransom her son, a Lord, who do I see? I went to our King, to the Ransom guy and traveler in the taverns and a captured Lord of that faction and asked. No options came up in the dialog.

I don't think it's at all possible to pay for his release, you have to break him out of prison. Find out where he is (it's mentioned in the quest info), find the jailor, talk to him and demand his keys, knock him out when he refuses, then get in and talk to the lord.
You can either tell him to help you fight off the remaining guards (he'll follow your commands) or tell him to stay put, in which case he'll wait patiently by the door (which is not necessarily safer, as he might be left exposed to archers etc). If the lord gets knocked out of combat you'll fail the attempt, but you can always try again.
It helps if, prior to entering the town/castle, you pay the villagers of a nearby village to start a fire as a distraction (choose the 200g option), this will lure a few guards away for a few hours.
Also, make sure you save before attempting the quest, sometimes it bugs out and the lord will turn hostile to you, forcing you to knock him off or worse, he might two-shot you out before you can react. Restarting the game will fix it, but if your last save was 2 hours ago, well..

Thanks, too much risk for the reward. I waited until the sides declared peace, the Lord went free and I got the girl, the Lord's sister and we wedded.You can either tell him to help you fight off the remaining guards (he'll follow your commands) or tell him to stay put, in which case he'll wait patiently by the door (which is not necessarily safer, as he might be left exposed to archers etc).

Not really. Once you're well-equiped and you bribe the village, it's not that hard to rescue the lord - and you get a great relationship boost with both the prisoner and the quest-giver, a few thousand denars and a lot of experience points. Very useful, especially in early- to mid-game.Pages:

Mount & Blade seriesYou can ransom common prisoners (soldiers, bandits, etc.) for 50-300 denars. Kingdoms will often offer to ransom any captured lords in your possession for anywhere between 1,500-5,000 denars, while leaders (kings, queens, etc.) go for much higher prices (even 80,000 denars at times).
As selling prisoners to Ransom Brokers can be a highly profitable enterprise, especially early to mid game, there are a number of ways to increase the number of captured prisoners. One way to do so is simply to order your troops to use blunt weapons to knock the enemy out. Another way is to recruit Manhunters to your army, since they exclusively use bludgeoning weapons and can be upgraded to potent light cavalry, though this can be difficult as the only way to acquire them is to recruit them from prisoners. Finally, one shouldn't ignore the possibility of equipping a bludgeoning weapon and hunting down prize enemies personally.
Noble prisonersEdit
Common prisoners can be handed over in taverns to wandering Ransom Brokers, however, lords can not be ransomed this way. You have two other options with lords: you can hold onto them and wait for their kingdom to offer a reward, or sometimes a competing kingdom will offer to take them off your hands when talking to their lords or leader. If you don't hand them over to someone else, you will most likely receive repeated events over time requesting that the captured noble be returned to their native kingdom for a price. If the offer is rejected, the player's reputation with the nation in question will decrease, as will their honor. Oftentimes, the request will be repeated, occasionally with a higher price.
Amnesia dark descent enemies. It may be in your interest to keep lords as prisoners for as long as possible, an opposing nation can only have as many armies as they have lords. So if the player captures 7 out of 40 lords, only 33 armies could possibly be in play on the opposing side at any one time.
Galley slavesEdit
In the Nordic city of Tihr there is almost always an NPC named Ramun the Slave Trader who resides there and acts as a Ransom Broker, but only pays 50 denars per captive, regardless of rank. As only the bottom tier of soldiers and bandits can be ransomed for a lower price than this, it is generally considered a waste of money and prisoners. Ramun can be found in With Fire & Sword too, but the ransom cost, although it changes from soldier to soldier, doesn't change in practice (13 thalers per soldier sold). Furthermore, the theoretical price he gives isn't analogous to the soldier's experience (for example, a Rebel costs 160 thalers while an Armored Cossack costs 51 thalers).
No nobles may be sold as slaves.
