Knights of Avalon

 

Plantagenet

The Plantagenet range of knights of Agincourt was designed and produced by John Braithwaite from about 1985. The paint finish is a varnished matt, which give it a rather nice soft appearance.

Later models were called Knights in Combat and consisted of twenty figures with barded horse and five with unbarded mounts, plus fourteen foot figures. More information on Plantagenet may be found in Peter Greenhills Heraldic Miniature Knights.
