Not sure where this guy came from, but there's at least two of this kind running around my yard now.
Part of the Lewis Chessmen set
The Lewis Chessmen form a remarkable group of iconic objects within the world collection of the British Museum. They were probably made in Norway, about AD 1150- 1200. At this period, the Western Isles, where the chess pieces were buried, were part of the Kingdom of Norway, not Scotland. It seems likely they were buried for safe keeping on route to be traded in Ireland.
The chess pieces testify to the strong cultural and political connections between Britain and Scandinavia in the Middle Ages, and to the growing popularity within Europe of the game of chess, the origins of which lie in ancient India.
Of the 93 pieces known to us today, 11 pieces are in Edinburgh at the National Museum of Scotland, and 82 are in the British Museum. The chess pieces consist of elaborately worked walrus ivory and whales' teeth in the forms of seated kings and queens, bishops, knights on their mounts, standing warders and pawns in the shape of obelisks.
The chess pieces were found in the vicinity of Uig on the Isle of Lewis some time before 11 April 1831. The precise findspot seems to have been a sand dune where they may have been placed in a small, drystone chamber.
The assemblage was initially shown at the Scottish Antiquaries Society in Edinburgh which hoped to acquire it but was unsuccessful in its fundraising efforts. The dealer offering the hoard for sale, Mr T.A. Forrest, then approached the British Museum who acquired it between November 1831 and January 1832.

The Red Knight is #98 in my 100 Strangers Project. His name is John and he works at Medieval Times. We went there for our eleven year old's birthday. It was what he wanted. It is quite the event. We had a meal and then watched a jousting show. The Red Knight happened to be our knight that we cheered for through the story. Turns out, he was the WINNER as well, which made it all the more special for us. It made our son's birthday. John has been doing martial arts for years and he came to Medieval Times for his sixteenth birthday and decided that is what he wanted to do. When he turned eighteen, he went for a job. He had never ridden horses but was trained for that part of his job. I asked him if he liked working there and he said yes, though it is tiring at times (the show is very physical) but it is quite the unique job. John was a doll and I wish him the very best!

This knight prefers the use of his giant golden blade. It is a two handed weapon that causes more damage than other weapons and can only be wielded by certain races.
This is part of my Death Knights group. They are loosely based on the types of characters you see in World of Warcraft. That game sucked up almost 2 years of my life at one point! Here is the entire group: www.flickr.com/photos/29237490@N02/6877415194/
