Black Falcons (1984–1992)


In 1984, Lego released the first Castle sets that had more realistic castles, knights, and colors (such as grey castles rather than yellow) that more accurately depicted the Middle Ages compared to the Classic Castle sets from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The 1984 castle sets featured many newly introduced pieces and weapons. Examples are: one pieced horse (there were two types, a black horse and a white horse), horse saddles (with one clip to one side to hold a sword), new knight helmet visors (these visors could not open), feather plumes (there were three types in five colors: red, blue, yellow, white and black), waving flags, bow and arrows, and so on. From then on, many of these pieces would be included in future castle sets to come.

The Black Falcons, alongside with the Crusaders, were introduced. In 1984, the first Black Falcon's castle was . It came with six knights, two out of six knights being mounted on horses. Like the yellow castle, the set featured special hinge pieces that could open up the castle to take a look inside and get at the interior. The Black Falcons were also featured in other sets the same year such as and . In 1986, another Black Falcons castle was released called . The overall structure and size of the set was similar to the previous Black Falcons' castle, and included the same type of minifigures (including the two mounted knights). The main differences were that the set had the two defence towers in the front with more rounded (octagonal) corner pieces and the back had a small roofed structure with a yellow Tudor wall. This set was quite unique because it was the first set to include the octagonal corner pieces and the yellow Tudor wall, as well as the only set to have a blue Black Falcons flag. The Black Falcons appeared in other sets during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Examples are , , and . The last set to include Black Falcons was - although this set was part of the Black Knights, it had a Black Falcon swordsman and an archer. From then on, the Black Falcons line was put to an end. But in 2002, at the request of fans, Lego re-released the re-numbered (#10039) as a Lego Legend. This set was almost identical to the 1986 set: the horse saddles had two clips instead of one, and the shield ornament on the minifigures' breastplates was slightly different in shape.

Crusaders (1984–1992)


The initial release of the Crusaders theme began in 1984 with . This castle was one of the largest Lego Castle sets produced. Twelve Knights and four horses were included. The walls of the castle could be opened to play inside the castle. The castle itself had unusual architecture. The Crusaders were released the same year as the Black Falcons in 1984. They could be considered the rivals of the Black Falcons. Over the years, Crusaders were included in many sets along with the Black Falcons, Forestmen, and Black Knights. Examples include the in 1986, in 1988, and , a set that was the successor after the 1979 , in 1989 (ten years later). A unusual set was the in 1986, which was the only set to have the rare black short sword and a Crusader Flag.

The last Crusader castle released was in 1990. This was one of the first sets to feature the newly invented knight helmet visor and armor pieces. Crossbows and glow in the dark ghost were also new pieces introduced. King's Mountain Fortress was also the first Lego castle to be mounted on a raised baseplate. Two exclusive elements the set included was the only Crusader queen, and a black colored bird. A small Crusader set, appears to be the only Lego castle set to be released in 1991. Finally, the last Crusader set produced was released in 1992, another small Crusader set that included a knight pulling a treasure chest on a cart. After that, the Crusader series was put to a halt. It was not until 2001, when Lego re-released the well known re-numbered (#10000) as a Lego Legend, under popular demand. The set consisted of two Crusader knights, a mounted Black Falcon Knight, and an inn keeper, staying over at an inn. This set was the only structure to include red Tudor walls. One change in the reissue was the horse saddle had two clips instead of one. Since 1984, Lego Castle had horse saddles with a single clip (except the horse barding saddles) at one side until 1992 when that was changed to two clips.

Forestmen (1987–1990)


The Forestmen theme was introduced in 1987 when Lego Castle released the first Forestmen set . This set was a hideout that featured a large tree adjacent to a cave where the Forestmen lived. The interior of the set could be opened to see inside the cave and enabled more play. The set included six Forestmen minifigures, the most Forestmen minifigures in a single set. This set was also one of the first sets to have a brown colored horse. In 1988, the was released; it was a small tree hideout that housed two Forestmen. The following year, the , which was the largest Forestmen set, was released. This hideout was an abandoned castle covered with trees, vines and leaves, where it was surrounded by a moat. It included five Forestmen, and a Crusader paddling a raft. In 1990, the last original Forestmen hideout set, , was released. This set had a unique baseplate of a small stream printed on it with white dots marked on the studs to indicate where to place the pieces. The set featured an old tower and a large tree which were connected by a rope bridge that ran across the stream. This was the only set to include a Forestwoman minifigure. A few forestmen were included in other small non-Forestmen Castle sets, such as . After 1990, the series was discontinued. In 1996, a new Forestmen sub theme was released, called Dark Forest.

Black Knights (1988–1994)


The first well known Black Knights set released was the in 1988. This set marked the beginning of the Black Knights series. The enormous black castle was guarded by twelve knights, four of them mounted on horses. This was one of the first sets to include the horse armor piece or barding. Also, the triangular dragon shields were invented to represent the Black Knights. An interesting feature the castle had was it could be opened and closed using the special "hinge" pieces for more play in the interior. In 1989, three Black Knights were included in the set. Two more Black Knights sets were released in 1990, which were a town gate set that featured five knights along with a big catapult, and , a set that included a lone armored knight and a glow in the dark ghost. These two sets were one of the last Lego Castle sets to carry the Legoland banner. The two 1990 castle sets were re-released in 1992 with the Lego System banner on the boxes, but the instruction booklets of the sets, still had the Legoland banner. The only changes that were made to the 1992 re-release sets, were the horse saddles. The saddles were changed from one clip to two clips since 1992 was the year that introduced the altered Lego horse saddle.

In 1992, Lego introduced the that was originally called Dungeon Master's Castle until 1994, when the name was changed. The castle was mounted on a baseplate. This particular set could be considered to be one of the best Black Knights castles ever released. This magnificent set included ten knights, a Wolfpack renegade prisoner, and a glow in the dark ghost. Like Black Monarch's Castle, it included the horse armor or barding piece. But the differences the Black Knights Castle had were two out of the four mounted knights had helmet visors, armor pieces and new dragon plumes available in four different colors (just like the feather plumes). The oval shield with a red and blue dragon printed, was also one of the new pieces introduced. The older dragon triangular shield was still used in the set. This set was the first major castle to have minifigures with facial hair, mustache and beard faces rather than only having the usual plain, grin face.

Two other main Black Knights sets were released the same year as the Black Knights Castle in 1992. They were the (the biggest Lego Castle boat ever released in the 1990s and was also the last set to include Black Falcon figures) and , a small set that included a single, full armored knight, along with accessories. The Black Knights series continued until 1994 when they were replaced by the Royal Knights in 1995. One of the last Black Knights sets released was in 1993, a miniset that included a knight who manned a tiny catapult. It was re-released in 1998.

Dragon Masters (1993–1995)

The Dragon Masters collection was released in August 1993. Majisto the Wizard and his glow in the dark wand were introduced to the Castle series. This was the first time for Lego Castle to have a fantasy theme. The powerful wizard controlled the fearsome fire breathing dragons that could fly with their red wings. The green dragons were another new element to the series. Majisto also commanded his own army of Dragon Master knights. These knights had newly designed faces. The Dragon Masters consisted of magic and mythical themes. The largest Dragon Masters set was . Other main sets were and . The total number of Dragons included in the Dragon Masters sets were only three.

In Europe and Asia, a total of seven Dragon Masters sets were released in 1993. But in North America, only four sets were released that same year. The remaining three sets, ,, and were released in 1994. One possible reason why this occurred was because in 1994, no new castle sets were planned to be released. Therefore, it was decided that these sets would fill in the gap. Other smaller Dragon Masters sets were released in 1994, such as and but they were only mini castle sets. The last Dragon Masters set was that featured Majisto carrying his favorite wand and traveling with a cart (loaded with a treasure chest), in 1995. This marked the end of the Dragon Masters reign. But the Dragon Masters sets inspired other castle sets to have magic and fantasy themes such as the Fright Knights.

Characters

This is a list of the characters in the Knights’ Kingdom line.

  • Lord Vladek: (Spring 2004-Fall 2004, 2005–2006) He was the adviser to King Mathias, but he put him in a dungeon and claimed the King had gone missing, and that a tournament would be held to determine the new king. He entered, and planned to use the power of the Book of Morcia to win and become king. However, the four Hero Knights found Mathias and defeated Vladek. Some time after, Vladek fled, and found himself in the lost kingdom of Ankoria, where he regained power by creating the Vladmask, and took over the kingdom. It was here he adopted the title of “Lord Vladek”. He threated to use the Vladmask to destroy Morcia, but Sir Jayko destroyed the Vladmask and stopped him. Vladek has a dark visage, with burning embers for eyes and a mouth set in a permanent grimace. When his Vladmask is not on, he can cause fear in even the most stalwart of the Hero Knights. His emblem is the scorpion, and it is set into his shield for all to know. Vladek's sword is of the darkest coal, sinister and deadly. Vladek is an oddity among the Knights’ Kingdom series kits, in that he is the one of the very few figures to have only one movable arm via a dial on their back. This is supposedly because of his skill with the sword, and disdain of the shield. Vladek's sword is perfectly capable of deflecting all arms that can be brought to bear, and it is rumored he can split an arrow in mid air.now Vladek has a new black and silver armor,red cape,and Sorcerers Sword which is capable of deflecting boulders,and creating things out of ruins.

Story: Lord Vladek has returned seeking the power of the Mistlands Tower, so that he can take over Morcia. This time he has hired an army of Rogue Knights instead of his usual Shadow Knights. The Rogue Knights are led by Dracus and his lieutenant, Weapons Master Karzon. In Morcia, Jayko, now King after defeating Vladek, hears about Vladek's return and his army of rogue knights, and how he's after the power of the Mistlands Tower. After hearing this, King Jayko teams up with two newly trained knights, Sir Kentis and Sir Adric, who must help King Jayko defend the tower from Lord Vladek and his army of Rogue Knights. In the end, "The Shield of Ages" is reforged by the mysterious Blacksmith (who is hinted as being the first king of Morcia, Orlan), the Shield is used to imprison Lord Vladek in an orb on top of the tower, the Rogue Knights get trapped in a dungeon, and Morcia is saved.

Castle (2007–present)

Released in May, 2007, the new Lego Castle line features a human faction led by a good king fighting against the opposing undead skeleton
Skeleton

In biology, a skeleton is a rigid framework that provides protection and structure in many types of animal, particularly those of the phylum Chordata and of the superphylum Ecdysozoa....
 faction ruled by an evil necromancer. The human faction bears the emblem of a crown, leading to being nicknamed by collectors as the "Crown Knights". Their main color scheme is dark blue, light blue and gold. The undead faction has the emblem of a skull, and the army consists almost entirely of undead skeletons, mostly the normal white kind but also featuring a new black variant. Their color scheme consists of dark red and black. In 2008, Lego Castle introduced sets with trolls, giant trolls, and dwarves to add to the medieval fantasy theme. Elves have been rumored and published in the summer 2008 magazine, but nothing has been proven yet.
