What Nationality Are the Knights?

[Mally]

The Japanese need no investigation on where they're from, neither do the Vikings. The Knights, on the other hand, are more ambigious. Are they French Knights? German? English? A combination of all 3?

[Muh macht die Kuh]

vikings most likely from denmark or surrounding countries

knights prolly a mix of what you said. (since knights in this timeline where all more or less combined through catholic church

[TitaniteKnight]

We'll have to wait till they reveal more knight heroes besides the warden and then speculate based on their respective armor design and weapon design.

Im going with that the faction as a whole is based off all three but since there are customization items, designs may end being that some will lean closer to something of english designs, while others leaning more towards that of french or german designs. There will likely be people who will be able to tell what resembles which.

English and French.

They are probably a cross between English and French nights. That would give them some more freedom with designs and weapons.

"Knights" were mostly from western Europe.

William Marshal (famous English knight) is probably the one most modern knight characters are based on.

Not to sound picky, but actually, the vikings had settlements and, coming with it, cultural spreading and diversification from the shores of America to Central Russia, 300 km east of nowadays Moscow.. ;-)

My Mother is from Denmark and we have an ancient Norse surname; Mørck, A deriative from Old Norse myrkr ‘dark’.

But, just so you know, this game takes place in a completely different world (In case the whole Knights Vs Vikings Vs Samurai, didn't quite get the message across). So I personally don't think there's any nationality to be real in this game.

considering lions on tabard I'd rather say they are inspired from english ones, also the helmet is nothing like the usual french ones.

also the various "classes" are inspired from knights of various period from XII to XIV century, thus clearly no frank "knights", as long as franks ever had some knights...
