Check out Pangaea PG04 - 1/6th scale French Crusader General - Balian 12-inch action figure

The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade in 1095 with the stated goal of restoring Christian access to the Holy Land leading to an intermittent 200-year struggle. Crusade is a modern term derived from the French croisade and Spanish cruzada and by 1750, the various forms of the word "crusade" had established themselves in English, French, and German. When a crusader swore a vow (a votus) to be fulfilled on successfully reaching Jerusalem they were granted a cloth cross (crux) to be sewn into their clothes. This "taking of the cross", the crux, eventually became associated with the entire journey. They saw themselves as undertaking an iter, a journey, or a peregrinatio, an armed pilgrimage.
