First Legion
The chivalry of France rode with King Francis I against the Holy Roman Empire's forces at the Battle of Pavia. A heavy armored cavalry charge was still a premiere weapon on the battlefield. This French knight sits his high cantled saddle with the ease of long use. The seat is made so that the shock of driving home a mounted lance charge does not unseat the rider. He carries a lance, which focuses all the tremendous kinetic energy of the charge into tiny point capable of punching through ring mail or plate cuirass like paper. First Legion designed this mounted knight so that his visor can be raised or lowered.
