The Nazis lost more men trying to take this Russian-held Stalingrad apartment block than they did when taking Paris. Volcanic irregularity? Odd erosion? Names of places absorbed into history and geography classes, the lines that defined them erased from maps, they are as far from us as the world of armored knights, tapestried courts, chivalry and jousts, shifting alliances and expedient betrayals that sustained them for centuries. But that world, the world of the knights, maintains its grip on our imaginations.

The mirror gleam of their armor, symbol of power and prestige in their lifetimes, survives as a looking glass that takes us back to their world — as it was, and as they wanted us to see it. I still have my Britains Ltd knights. Toy soldiers to most; military miniatures to the serious. They are veterans of many campaigns, sieges, tournaments. My kids played with them — and others, new ones, that came at Christmas and on birthdays. They introduced dragons — naturally — dinosaurs and pirates into the worlds they created, swaddling the knights in the impossibilities that are the very stuff of thousands of books and films.

How many times, heading to the Met, did I bribe them — so they would suffer through exhibitions I dragged them there to see — with the promise to end the day in the Arms and Armor wing?

1. Introduction

Maximilian certainly played with toy knights and gave them as gifts. Two can be found in the background of a woodcut by Hans Burgkmair in an unpublished epic titled the Weisskunig The White King , commissioned and overseen by Maximilian. The various kings, for example, are designated by colors, based on their heraldry. Alongside these, tournaments featured fierce, sometimes deadly Jousts of War, with and without tilts — the fences that separate contestants — as well as free tourneys and episodes of foot combat. Each had different rules and required different armor, weaponry and tactics.

Toys imitate, prefigure and prepare the young for tournaments; tournaments imitate, prefigure and prepare young knights for war. Play and war. War and play. Who was Maximilian? Born in Vienna in to Emperor Frederick III and Eleanor of Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire that had begun with Charlemagne in had become a network of political islands, each with its own local rulers and laws, over which the emperor had little if any actual authority.

Maximilian came into his title with no administrative experience and little money of his own. His father did make a good match for him, with Mary of Burgundy. Their marriage appears to have been much more than an expedient arrangement and her war chest got Maximilian off to a good start, expanding his brand and power right away. The Last Knight. Just the romance of the sound of it makes you think it has to be some sort of fictional construct, a legend, a story passed down in a Game of Thrones game of telephone.
