Tradition of London Medieval Knights toy soldiers in the classic 54mm gloss-painted English style. Of all the eras Tradition of London covers, this is the one their format was born for. Heraldry, polished armour, jupon and surcoat in heraldic colours, banners and pennons, and horses in barding — every element of medieval military display is built around the same visual logic that gloss-painted toy soldiers use. The result is the most decorative range in the entire Tradition of London catalogue.

The collection runs from the high medieval period through the late fifteenth century — Crusader knights, English and French knights of the Hundred Years' War, Wars of the Roses men-at-arms, archers and crossbowmen, mounted knights with lances and pennons, foot knights with poleaxes and two-handed swords. Tradition of London tends to focus on the named historical figures and the visually iconic units rather than generic medieval levies — Edward the Black Prince, Henry V, Joan of Arc, the great heraldic captains of the period, English longbowmen at Agincourt and Crécy.

These are 54mm gloss-painted pieces in the classic English toy soldier tradition — a different scale and finish from the 1/30 (60mm) matte-painted figures that dominate modern toy soldier ranges. There is essentially no comparable medieval range from W. Britain or King & Country at this scale and in this finish, which makes Tradition of London the default choice for collectors who want gloss medieval figures with proper heraldry.

Popular with collectors of medieval military history, the Hundred Years' War, the Crusades, Wars of the Roses, heraldic display pieces, and anyone who wants a single dramatic mounted knight as a centrepiece for a bookshelf or display cabinet.
