| has gloss | eng: A black knight is a soldier or knight who either is not in service to a certain liege or does not want his liege, or himself, to be known and so does not have any heraldic standards or has painted them over with black paint. A good and well equipped soldier without a certain fealty was a wild card, or someone who you didn't know what would happen, and a group of them could be a big problem for kings. Usually, a black knight is given a bad light, as a solider who has covered up his standards to not be found out where they came from. |

| has gloss | fin: Musta ritari on käsitteenä itsenäinen ritari tai sotilas, joka ei taistele missään seurassa. Heraldisessa mielessä musta ritari on tunnukseton tai tunnuksensa peittänyt ritari. Eräänlainen freelance-sotilas. Koska mustilla ritareilla ei ollut suvun kunniaa ja omaisuutta suojeltavanaan, he muodostivat villin kortin taistelukentällä, eivätkä aina noudattaneet ritarien kunniakoodia. Tämä on saattanut olla taustana mustien ritareiden huonolle maineelle. |
