Crusader Knights
Crusader Knights were medieval warriors who took vows to protect Christian pilgrims and territories during the Crusades, a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims from the 11th to 13th centuries. Clad in armor and often mounted on horseback, they combined military skill with religious devotion. Knights followed strict codes of conduct, including loyalty, bravery, and piety. Their primary goal was to reclaim Jerusalem and other holy lands. Beyond combat, they also established castles, supported local communities, and played significant roles in medieval society and warfare.
