Duke Knight

Duke Knights are promoted Lance Knights. This class is seen in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. In the former game they have much higher attack then paladins but slightly lower skill, and speed. They can use A-rank Lances.

In the latter game they were outclassed by paladins in every way because of a new weapon rank system, both classes having the same stat caps, and Dismounting. Despite or perhaps because of this Duke knights were far more common then paladins in Thracia 776.
