Did you know?
Knights were elite mounted warriors of medieval Europe, trained from youth in horsemanship, combat, and chivalric code. The mounted pose—one of power and mobility—defined knighthood across centuries, from the High Middle Ages through the Renaissance. Such warriors served nobility, fought in crusades and dynastic wars, and became central figures in literature and legend.
