Since the year 500 a.D., there can be thought to have a continuous line of themes, at least one for each century, in exception for the IX century (801-900), in which I couldn't think of something characteristic (in terms of a simple view (...)).

In brackets, themes that there isn't in Playmobil collections in any kind of representation. Can only be made by customization.

*Though there's no specific collection for the Crusades, there is a quite vast Medieval collection by Playmobil, which can be thought as enough to accept the period to be considered as well covered.

**I am not sure about the date of the architecture of the framework house style, whether from 700-800s, from the 1100s, or from the 1300s. No clue for the moment. (I can be reasonably sure that it isn't from much before the 700s, nor its origin from later than the 1300s, though it was used long after the 1300s ...); for this reason I didn't mention the previous castles, though I may like them better than this (...).
