     The best way is probably to send a knight of your own with superior
stats (a higher bar on the left of the shield).
     Other alternate ways are:
     1) Build up your leader to full stats and send him to meet the
        knight.
     2) If you can, swamp him in his own territory.  If you're lucky,
        a swamp square will appear under him.  If not, he will usually
        be delayed.
     3) If water is fatal, dig a hole around him (down to water level).

     He is a druid...all he does is create trees in his path.  However,
if his path goes through one of your castles, it will be destroyed.
     There is also a swamp monster that you may want to look out for.
he goes diagonally across the world leaving swamp behind.

     I haven't seen this happen.  They are probably just dying there.
Remember that you have to raise and lower the land to make it inhabitable
by your people.
