Tournaments in the Middle ages

Overall

Medieval tournaments were gatherings where two knights at a time competed to be the winner.
Knights would fight for a lady or simply for entertainment.
Sometimes a knight would die from over exertion. Only rarely would they die from wounds.

Jousting

During a joust two knights mounted on horses would fight with long sticks and shields.
Their goal was to knock the other rider off his noble steed.
Jousting was banned from tournaments for a while because it was too easy to cheat.

Melee

Melee was a style of fighting using hand-held weapon such as swords, shields, bucklers, axes, spears, shovels....anything sharp or pointy.
Melee was on foot or mounted on a horse

much more deadly than you think ----------->
