Knights Errant is a fantasy webcomic that, in the author's words, "details the lengths to which Wilfrid, a once exalted member of society, will go to reclaim favor with the courts". Namely, joining the "Errant Knights", a mercenary band known for actually having a code of honor. They are led by the young (and handsome) knight Oswald.

So far it's been rather comedic, and a little slashy.

Can be found here.

Tropes used in Knights Errant (webcomic) include:

Alt Text
Art Shift: Wilfrid, sometimes. For example.
Badass Gay: They're mercenaries. Who also have mansex.
Bishie Sparkle: Happens with war imagery happening in the background
Bunny Ears Lawyer: Wilfrid's really good at killing, but it's hard to deny that he's a bit of a ditz.
Deadpan Snarker: Kadeen fits this trope pretty well, particularly in his fight with Anton.
Character Name Alias: Wilfrid uses the name Amir when asked by Kadeen.
The Comically Serious: A lot of the non-Wilfrid humor comes from the other strait-laced characters being put in awkward situations.
Costume Porn: Seems to be based on Renaissance Italy.
Dissonant Serenity: Wilfrid tends to take murder in stride, if not outright enjoy it.
Expecting Someone Taller: Oswald.
Field of Blades: "The king liked the Errant Knights best because their swords weren't stupid looking"
Grim Up North: Before the Aster-Morgarian empire declared war on Vetal, the only jobs available to mercs were in the north.
High Fantasy
How We Got Here: The story starts with Oswald and Wilfrid in jail, then flashbacks to four years prior.
Luminescent Blush: One right on page 11
The Magnificent: "Wilfrid The Heartless"
Moment Killer: A particularly funny one pulled by Amir.
Only a Flesh Wound: Averted with Kadeen.
Pretty Boy: Oswald.
Sad Clown: Kadeen believes Amir to be one.
Scars Are Forever: Quite a few characters. Considering most of them are mercenaries, it's not surprising.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Wilfrid admits to suffering from PTSD, due to being forced to eat his loyal horse.
Shout-Out: Occasionally in the Alt Text.
That Came Out Wrong:

"The remains of your manhood will be safe in my grasp--wait. That sounds kinda bad--"

War Is Glorious: Discussed by Wilfrid.
