Conquest games make a set of Medieval Knights in plastic that they claim

  Medieval period. In terms of English kings, that’s King Stephen to King John, 1135 to 1216 (not exactly an era of peace in English history !) This period covers numerous was between England (the Angevin Empire) and France, plenty of inter-baronial squabbling and feuding, and the Second and Third Crusades. The set is also fabulous if you want to re-create some of the golden era Hollywood costume dramas, as well – Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, and anything with Richard the Lionheart in.

I think they are probably more king John than king Stephen but just throwing another option your way.



Yes they look more King John to me also
