These distinctive looking knights are the Holy Roman Empire's elite warriors. Their armour is in the distinctive fluted Gothic style produced by the finest German armourers, and include the popular visored sallet helmet. Riding an armoured warhorse and wielding a lance and mace, Gothic knights have little to fear on the battlefield.
