Generally speaking, LEGO© had tight quality control over manufacturing tolerances when it came to making their bricks however when it was time to package them, things slipped through the cracks. As a result of one such crack, this set emerged as a bit of an odd ball. Clearly the boat and minifigs are styled in line with the Black Knights faction but obviously the shield is from the Black Falcons.
What gives? To be honest, when I was younger I never gave it a thought. It gave me some new minifigs I didn't have before, my first crossbow and another barrel. I think it's just an error (that's easily fixed) but to dream up an excuse, it could well have been a case of some disguised Black Falcon guys making off in a stolen boat. Anyway, it's small but it's neat and easily integrates into a water scene. I like it.
