Knights are pieces introduced in Traders & Barbarians, for use with the scenario “Barbarian Attack”.

Note that design-wise, the knight overlaps with the concept of its counterpart in Cities & Knights; indeed, knights are only used when playing “Barbarian Attack” without Cities & Knights. The main difference between the two different versions is that the knights of Traders & Barbarians are undifferentiated by rank.

The concept of knights as game pieces (as opposed to Development Cards, as per the base game) is not new to Traders & Barbarians: a number of Catan-News scenarios also introduced knight pieces and were later adapted for use with Cities & Knights.
