Black Knights: Forbidden/Forgotten History
Who were the Black Knights really? The term Black Knights are often used in stories like King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Along with popular anime like Code Geass. Regardless of how the term is used in modern times. There is more to the Black Knights besides what is used in literature and today's pop culture. There is real history behind the Black Knights. A secret Order that has operated in the shadows in Europe since the Dark Ages. As much as it sounds like a conspiracy theory. There's more than what's in recorded history. Although, archaeologists and historians have limited information about the real Black Knights themselves. Since very little records about their existence have been found. It's safe to assume that many records of the Black Knights were lost to time, or destroyed. As if they were systematically erased from history. Why? What occurred in Medieval Europe hundreds of years ago have left countless questions and far too little answers. All we can do is try to understand the past as best we can.
