The City Knight

King Edgar granted derelict land to thirteen knights on condition that they all perform three duels, one on land, one below ground and one on water.
These feats having been achieved the king gave the knights or cnihtengild certain rights over a piece of land from Aldgate to Bishopsgate in the north and to the Thames as far as a horseman riding into the river at low tide can throw a lance.

This sculpture is in Devonshire Square and really stands out among the surrounding buildings, I really like the blue jewels on the horses armour
