About Royal Knights
One big castle
Royal Knight's Castle (6090-1) dominates the range with 763 pieces, more than the next three sets combined. Around it sit Royal Drawbridge (6078-1, 259 pieces) and King's Carriage (6044-1, 127), all from 1995. Skeleton Surprise (6036-1, 74 pieces) adds an unexpected opponent, showing the royal knights up against skeletons rather than rival knights. In the Castle timeline, the range sits between Dragon Knights and Fright Knights, so it fits naturally into a mid-1990s collection alongside them.
Catapults and small boats
The later releases are small. Royal Knight's Catapult (1843-3) from 1996 has 47 pieces. Three boats with 21 pieces each round things off: Boat with Armour (1752-1) and Crossbow Boat (1804-1) from 1996, and Thunder Arrow Boat (2892-1) from 1998. They are easy to overlook but necessary for a complete collection. The parts lists on each set page help you confirm that a second-hand castle still has every piece, and What can I build? shows which of the smaller models you could put together today.
