A quaint possibility....

[Dustin]

This possibility has struck me, hard.... I'm not talking about the KK and KKII Lion Knights, but the others.;the Royal Knights. Look particularly at the Royal King's torso. It has the same pattern as the modern day Lion Knight torso, even the lion is there. This draws me to believe, with full assurance, that the New Lion Knights are reincarnations of old Lion Knights mixed together.

Another possibility- They could be the Crusaders. The old set "King's Castle" bears a superficial resemblance to the modern-day 7946 "King's Castle."

That's a romantic idea, I had the same thought about the crown knights a while back, that they could of been the successors (or survivors) of the classic castle sets.

If they were the Crusaders I always thought they would of been made up of all the Lion factions and the body's with the crossed axes could would of been soldiers from the other factions that would of possibly been Crown or the other knight's featured from the classic sets '375'. This theory would be because they are on a crusade they would have to wear the same or similar colours, then when they finished the crusade they went back home to all the other factions that came out after.

That's my take on it and the castle does look very similar to '6080' maybe on the crusade they were inspired and build it to a similar specification as '7946' which would of been the original.

Wow! I love your theory.
