11th-Early 12th century European ("Frankish") Knights -- Normans, Germans, French, First Crusaders, Later Lombards, etc.
Frankish warlord with traditional club of command painted by
Raven Painting.
The Central and Western Europeans who the Byzantines called "Franks" had by the eleventh century established a reputation as fiercely charging, headstrong cavalry that made them sought-after mercenaries and feared adversaries. Whether they were slaughtering each other, conquering England, seizing Jerusalem for Christ or encroaching on the land of the Slavs, they were always at war. By the Eleventh Century, the Italian Lombards, and other Italian mounted nobility, were largely similar.
The tactics of these knights were often more flexible than has been acknowledged, and they were able to use their spear for throwing or thrusting overhead in addition to charging with it couched. Our models represent this variety of tactics, and also provide for fighting with their strong straight sword.
