Storytelling
The Renaissance period had its undoubted protagonists: Knights. These legendary heroes evolved from the iron-masked soldiers of the Middle Ages to the idolized figures of higher nobility. Throughout Europe, they were known as Knights, Sirs, Musketeers, or Guardians and were portrayed as ideal men. With their own code of honor, knighthood's ideals of virtue were immortalized in history through Renaissance literature and romance.
The Chessmen
The figures are crafted to reflect the evolution of the Knight into a noble, elegant guardian and protector during the Renaissance period. To become a knight, one had to be trained in hunting, traveling, and familiarizing themselves with horses and warfare. At the age of 20, they were knighted at a special ceremony, given their swords, and sworn to use them only for sacred and fair purposes.
