Historical Information

The Livonian Knights (Latvian-Estonian), depicted in the Zvezda 8016 set, belonged to the Order of the Brothers of the Sword, whose activity spanned the period of the Northern Crusades (13th century). They were an important military force of the Livonian Kingdom, taking part in numerous campaigns against Baltic tribes and pagan neighbors. Typical uses for the formations represented in the set include battles in present-day Latvia and Estonia – for example, at the Battle on Lake Peipus in 1242, where the knights fought against the forces of Alexander Nevsky.
