Among the responders to Gregory's call were three of Europe's greatest kings: the Western emperor, Frederick Barbarossa; Philip Augustus, king of France; and Richard I, the Lion-hearted, king of England. Frederick, nearly seventy, set out overland with an army of one hundred thousand, of which fifty thousand were on horseback.

The kids toys are 1/6 scale and all have moveable body parts and everything can be taken off or put back on.
