Their leader was the Royal King. Their largest set was the Royal Knight's Castle (6090). This faction also introduced the fan favorite silver longsword, which is used by the Royal King. The Knights' Kingdom theme centered on a conflict involving the Lions, led by King Leo, and the Bulls, led by outlaw Cedric The Bull. This theme had many small sets with minifigures, and was the first Castle theme to feature two female minifigs, Queen Leonora and Princess Storm. The Lion shields were similar to those of the Royal Knights. The Lions castle was King Leo's Castle (6098), while the Bulls did not have a castle.

The discontinuation of Fright Knights also marked the end of the basic concept of the Castle theme from 1984 onwards, where the different subthemes also represented several factions that coexisted in a consistent environment and would often appear together in one set. The themes of the following years were self contained subthemes with different factions of their own that did not not have any connection to those of other subthemes.
