"The Fight For The Holy Land"
Just over a thousand years after the birth of Christ, during the second half of the 11th Century, three very different cultures began to move directly towards a violent confrontation whose echoes still resound in the world today. Then, as in modern times, Jerusalem, the city of prophets and the birthplace of these three major religions, was the centre of a mighty struggle that was to continue for more than two centuries… ‘The Crusades’.
Back in 2006, King & Country began to introduce some of its most colourful and dramatic figures yet depicting the epic battles between the Crusading armies of Western Christendom and their rapidly expanding foes in the Muslim World. In the years since 2006, K&C has released a broad range of fighting figures, both mounted and on foot, that illustrate the different styles of warfare conducted during ‘The Crusades’ and the various types of soldiers utilized to fight those battles. Among the most important and valued were the archers of both armies.
Released in FEBRUARY 2022.
