@@HyPnOsS1933 Good chance there was but they'd likely be part of a Frankish or Flemish group. More likely they'd be involved with the Northern Crusades. Digging in Danish history I noticed the Fries/Dutch cooperated a lot with the Danes on trade and military. Since the Danes liked to start fights or get involved in a war there was plenty of opportunities to work together. This relationship went on for centuries although they had a couple relatively small "family" fights between them. A lot depended on who was in charge, like every other group in the world.

Thank you for writing about Nuno Álvares Pereira. I didn't know this interesting historical figure. Unfortunately, I know little about the history of Portugal, although I like Portuguese wine very much... You encouraged me to learn more. As I see Nuno Álvares Pereira is not only a hero of Portugal, but also a saint of the Catholic Church as a example for those who fight not to forget compassion and just peace. I'm curious that he lived at the same time as the most popular Polish knight Zawisza Czarny (I'm writing from Poland) The turn of the 14th and 15th centuries was probably the best time of European knighthood. Zawisza was a participant and winner of many tournaments (in Perpignan he defeated the champion from Aragon). He took part in one of the greatest battles of the Middle Ages at Grunwald (1410), where Poles and Lithuanians broke the power of Teutonic Knights. As a diplomat he distinguished himself in the Council of Constance, when he defended the Kingdom of Poland against the Teutonic slander. He was one of the few who defended Jan Hus there, but later he fought against the Hussites. Zawisza died at the hands of the Ottoman Janissaries, protecting the retreat of King Sigismund of Luxembourg in the Battle of Golubac(present-day Serbia) in 1428

Loved your list as all these badasses indeed enjoyed a great reputation as knights but damn...... if historical videos like these aren't a testament that the French lost the cultural war....... lol. I thought it was well documented (medieval chronicles all over Europe, in Turkey of all places included) that the french knight was the posterboy of the medieval knight. Despite being renowned for their excessive pride and stubbornness, french knights and the french heavy cavalry were generally viewed as the greatest in medieval Europe by their contemporaries. - Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard who throughout the centuries since his death has been known as "the knight without fear and beyond reproach". Considered the greatest french knight ever and one of if not the greatest to have ever lived. He is also rated by military historians as one of the greatest cavalry leaders of all time. As a knight, that dude is in his own league. - Geoffroi de Charny (the guy who literally wrote the "Book of Chivalry") was considered one of the greatest knights of his era - Hugues de Payens (first Grand Master of the Knights Templar) was considered the greatest knight of his age - Bertrand du Guesclin (who is generally compared to William Marshal by historians) was considered one of the greatest knights of his era.

The man who in life was know as the knight above reproach and without fear or to his friends simply the good knight.
Alot of great houses started as Knights. If you get recognized in a major battle, esp by the king or his immediate family, it could turn your life around quick. Granted title n lands. Then you marry someone a little higher then you as far as status. Your sons do the same, n by 3 to 5 generations you have a well established house. N the bonds they created by having some sons going to other great houses as kids to learn how to be a knight n warfare. N if by that you were childhood friends with a cousin or little brother of a royal family n then they become king, they bring you along for the ride. So fascinating
They are so many Great Medieval Knights.

William Marshal is #1 for me. His life would make a good television series. He was accused of bedding the Young King Henry's queen, and offered to prove his innocence in trial by combat against 3 other knights. He was only asked to serve Richard the Lionheart after sparing Richard's life who was in open rebellion against his father, whom William served. He always chose his allegiance on the path of honor and chivalry. I would like to see his life depicted.

You say Richard I would have been no 1 if kings had been included, on what basis do you rate greatness? Richard was a traitor, antagonised his allies on crusade and was a pretty inept king. In addition William Marshall faced him in battle and killed Richards Horse, when he could have just as easily killed Richard because he was too honorable to kill a son of his king. Not much doubt in my mind which of the two was the greatest.

The story about William unhorsing Richard comes from William and nowhere else. It's a tall tale, most likely, but ultimately unconfirmed self-aggrandizement from an old man dictating to his squire. On the other hand, Richard's greatness is attested by his enemies. Richard didn't antagonize his allies on crusade, but he did have to deal with traitors like Philip II and Leopold of Austria, who were far lesser men than he and self-focused cowards at best. The truly honorable men of the crusade - the Templars, the Hospitallers, James of Avesnes, Henri of Champagne, Geoffrey of Lusignan, Humphrey of Toron and the rank and file men all respected Richard deeply. Richard inspired undying loyalty in his men, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with them in battle, unlike Philip II (a coward). He was an undeniably great man and a great king, and anyone who doubts this is simply ignorant of the facts. Read John Gillingham's biography, Richard the Lionheart. Better yet, read Saladin's chronicler Ibn Shaddad's The Rare and Excellent History of Saladin. Some of the most striking evidence of Richard's greatness comes from Saracen chroniclers.

The King again showed his personal bravery and martial prowess, leading fifty-four knights, a few hundred infantrymen, and about 2,000 Genoese and Pisan crossbowmen into battle.[9][10] The Muslim army began to panic at the sudden offensive launched by Richard's newly arrived force; they feared it was just the advanced element of a much larger army coming to relieve Jaffa. The English king fought in person at the forefront of his attack, and Saladin's men were routed. Many of the Christian prisoners who had surrendered earlier also seized their arms and resumed combat, for their captors were in such disarray that they were unable to stop them.
