Given the time period of the KC it would be possible to have Zawisza the Black, knight and friend to Polish and Hungarian kings, as a NPC.
For those who are not familiar with Zawisza the Black it is enough to say that he was one of the greatest if not the greatest knight in late 14th and early 15th century, a true example of knightly virtues and quite a badass. Wikipedia will not tell you much about him but you might find some other sources.
