Haha, it's a bit puzzling

I think the album's wikipedia article stated that medieval imagery and themes was a fad at the time and that they may have been inspired by the likes of medieval themed Rick Wakeman, the keyboard player from the prog band Yes.

The romantic warrior imagery would seem more appropriate for a Gentle Giant album than a Return to Forever one, I think, but at least it makes for a beautiful LP cover!
