The castles themselves or all the sets? They seem to borrow from the entire
range of the middle ages. The early castles have a 1100-1300 look to them.
Plate armor and visored helms means we are straying into the 1300-1500
period. Nasals on helmets are pre-1100. Robin Hood/Forestmen if they are
supposed to be contemporary with Richard Coeur de Lion would be very late
1100s. The Kettle helm appeared around 1300.
The Fright Knight's sets are firmly set in the Hollywood Era, and the current
Knight's Kingdom are in the smaller Hollywood Era known as the Disneyland
Offramp. Ninja is the 1600's more or less in Japan: kind of the Tokagawa
Shogunate meets the Kurosawa Shogunate. The Bulls are definitely the Post-
Jordan Era.
