Effigy of a Knight from London, England dated between 1340 - 1350 on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England
This fine carving of a knight wears a mixture of plate armour and mail as well as a sword. There is a fish on the shield that is a pike which links the knight with the de Lucy family as it is part of their coat of arms. The Middle English for pike was "Lucre" which is where they family's name comes from.
The family was one of the Norman families who followed William the Conqueror and settled in England. While they stayed mainly in England, some members of the family during this time joined the Baltic Crusades in Lithuania.

Night Watch - A City Wasn't a Place for Cavalry, for Heavens' Sake!
The major hated the map. It was the map of a city. A city wasn’t a place for cavalry, for heavens’ sake! Of course there had been casualties among the men. Three of them had been deaths. Even a cavalry helmet is not a lot of use against a ballistic cobblestone. And a trooper had been pulled off his horse in Dolly Sisters and, bluntly, mobbed to death. And that was tragic and terrible and, unfortunately, inevitable, once fools had decided to use cavalry in a city with as many alleys as Ankh-Morpork.
The major didn’t think of his superiors as fools, of course, since it would follow that everyone who obeyed them was a fool. He used the term ‘unwise’, and felt worried when he used it.
As for the rest of the casualties, three of them had been men knocked senseless by riding into hanging shop signs while pursuing... well, people, when it came down to it, because with the smoke and darkness who could tell who the real enemy was? The idiots had apparently assumed that anyone running away was the enemy. And they’d been the luckier idiots, because men who rode their horses into dark alleys which twisted this way and that and got narrower and narrower, and then realized that it had all gone quiet and their horse couldn’t turn round, well, they were men who learned how fast a man could run in cavalry boots...
