Medieval chess set history is certainly nowhere near as old as chess history itself. Where chess was
invented is unknown, but it is popularly (and now scientifically) believed that its origins date back to
600 AD India where it was invented by poor peasants who had no other form of entertainment. Other
theories suggest that it was invented somewhere in the Middle East or maybe even in China. Medieval
chess, that is chess played with chess pieces created in that era, is roughly 800 years old.
We can't say exactly when the first medieval chess set was made but the Isle of Lewis chess set may
be the first. Archaeologists estimate this particular chess set -- found in the 1800's -- to have been
created around 1200 AD.
If you're thinking about buying a chess set as a gift for yourself, or someone else, you can't go wrong
choosing a medieval chess set. Think about it this way, ever since Hollywood romanticized the
Medieval Era most people are not only very familiar with it but also are very intrigued and passionate
about it. After all, who hasn't heard of the "Knight in Shinning Armour "?
