Richard the Lion Hearted and the great Crusades come alive in this vibrant silver and gold set of chivalrous chessmen. Kings, queens, knights, castles, and crowns, these are all elements of the Medieval times. Todays chessmen were given these names by Europeans who probably were unable to pronounce the original Persian names for the pieces. The different chess pieces offer a snap shot of medieval life with its feudal system, ceremonies, wars, and grandeur. Get a taste of this noble life with our beautifully made Medieval chessmen!
