Line 6:
It received an odd [[Spin-Off]] in the early 2000s, titled [[Knights Kingdom 2]] - even though it had little to do with the Knight's Kingdom subtheme.
▲=== Eras and subthemes (often based on a respective faction) in chronological order : ===
* ''[[Fan Nickname|LEGOLAND Castle]]'' or just ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Castle]]'' (1978-1986) - [http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/castle/legolandcastle the original] showcased a generic medieval kingdom with sets revolving around generic medieval locations and events (e.g. castles, jousts, men-at-arms escorting wagons); as evidenced by the title, it is often distinguished from the subthemes that came after it by the "LEGOLAND" prefix (named after a common feature of LEGO box art from the 1980s and early 1990s)
* ''[http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/castle/crusaders Crusaders]'' (1987-1992) - the first somewhat more specific theme that evolved from the original, though still lacking a distinct faction with a distinct backstory or motivation
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* ''Castle'' (2007-2009) - intended as a return to the series typical style and as a [[Continuity Reboot]] of sorts, with a [[Captain Ersatz]] version of King Leo defending his kingdom from the undead armies of a dark ruler (the undead are represented by skeleton minifigs)

* [[Animal Motifs]] : The various heraldic creatures of the different factions. Wolves, lions, bulls, dragons, bats, you name it. A subversion were the Black Knights, who used a blue-coloured wyvern in their coat of arms, despite their name.
* [[The Archer]]: Many of the soldier minifigs. There were even sets with ballistae and other crossbow-derived siege engines, ''complete with operators''.
