The kingdom of Knighton, or simply Knighton, is a proclaimed realm and country. Its capital is Knightonia, and it is governed by the Royal Family.

History[]

A long time ago, Knighton was an ungoverned land where monsters ran amok. This changed when a farmer named Augustin Halbert assembled the Order of the Eight that defeated the monsters, making Knighton a safer place. Augustin became the first king of Knighton, founding both the kingdom and the Halbert dynasty.[1]

At an unspecified point in time, Knighton would suffer several invasions by unknown forces.[2]

The Wizards' Council documented magic across the kingdom. Over 150 years prior to the present day[3], one of them, Monstrox, found a set of powerful but corrupting spells and threatened Knighton with these spells alongside his armies of monsters. Another wizard, Merlok, stopped his evil plans, turning Monstrox into the Book of Monsters where his Lava Monsters would be trapped and sealing the Forbidden Powers into the Rogul statues.

Jestro, a former jester of the royal court, became corrupted by the Book of Monsters and set out to destroy the kingdom with the Lava Monsters. Now, the society is plagued by battles with these creatures. Later on, Jestro fought alongside the Stone Monsters, and soon, Monstrox would have his own army of CyberBiters.

Society[]

Knighton resembles a medieval society, but is distinguished by its many technological advancements. Social classes, such as nobles, merchants and commoners, are still present. Mechanical creations such as Squirebots help the citizens live their daily lives.

Not all regions of the kingdom enjoy equal welfare: while Auremville is notable for its riches, and most Knighton citizens seem to be at least content with their living conditions, poverty-stricken towns such as Nothing Hill are also present.

English[4] is the most wide-spread spoken language in the kingdom. However, the denizens of Knighton are only known to use a script drastically different from the Latin one.

The kingdom uses Knighton gold, as well as silver and copper coins, as currency.[5]

Government and protection[]

Knighton's government appears to be an absolute monarchy, ruled by the King and Queen, as well as children of royalty such as princesses. Other government officials, such as ministers, don't appear nor get mentioned, as such it's unknown if they exist in the kingdom. It is protected by knights and Squirebots. Most prominently, the Nexo Knights help save the kingdom, operating from the Fortrex. A Knights' Academy is also known to exist, where these knights graduated from, and where children are trained to become knights.

Trivia[]

  • Knighton is the only country to appear in the Nexo Knights franchise.
  • It shares its name with a real-life town located near the Wales-England border. Whether the similarity is intentional or coincidental is unknown. However this fact was brought up in a Lego Life magazine in a section concerning the series.[citation needed]
