During the middle ages a knight was a fighting man, covered in multiple layers of armour, and stronger than today’s muscled tankers. In this interpretation, the knight is represented as a cockerel; the symbol of political force. He is on his war horse, and prepares to ransack a captured city. There is nothing in his way to stop him. Armed only with a lance, and unencumbered by the typical heavy armour, shield or helmet, his weapons are fear and intimidation.
