Knights' Kingdom was a short-lived subtheme of Castle from 2000. It featured the conflict between King Leo's kingdom and Cedric the Bull.

A second theme also called Knights' Kingdom was released in 2004, but there was no connection between these two sub-themes other than the general medieval-like setting and a conflict between good and evil.

Description Edit

The Knights' Kingdom line of 2000 signaled a return to a more traditional interpretation of European-style castles after the end of the oriental-themed Ninja. The Knights were led by King Leo. The king and his forces were pitted against an army of barbarian invaders commanded by Cedric the Bull. The royal faction owned just one castle, while the Bulls did not have a castle but instead a wide variety of siege engines.

This was the first Castle theme that featured a complete royal family with King Leo, his wife, Queen Leonora, and his daughter, Princess Storm, who wanted to be a knight. King Leo's castle and grounds were decorated with new carved lion head bricks and ornate stained glass window pieces, while Cedric's fearsome battle machines were equipped with spring-loaded projectile launchers.

The minifigures of this theme were elaborately designed and featured many new torso pieces, faces, more realistic helmets and armour pieces. The buildings, however, had a rather simplified design, which was also seen in other themes of that era, e.g. in Town Jr., a building style later called Juniorization.

The Sets in the later wave each featured a chromed piece of armor or weaponry. The intent was to collect all four sets to equip a Silver Knight with the special pieces. Set 4818 also included a black dragon, a last vestige of the (evidently vanquished) Fright Knights.
