Knights at Tournament Paperback - 1992

by Christopher Gravett; Angus McBride (Illustrator)


From the publisher

Like all warrior classes throughout history medieval knights engaged in military games, partly in preparation for war and partly for pure sport. From their often brutal origins in the 10th century to the gaudy pageantry and eventual decline of the 15th and 16th centuries, tournaments were the centre of the knightly life. The image of the armoured and surcoated knight on his caparisoned charger remains the epitome of the chivalric ideal. Christopher Gravett explores the history of the tournament from its chaotic beginnings to its more formal, 'civilised' incarnation, describing the various 'events' and equipment which came into use.

First line

visitors or 'venans' were the Earl of Lancaster and 14 knights. At this affair the king jousted wearing the arms of Sir Thomas Bradestone.
