Fresh insights into the development of the tournament as an
opportunity for social display. The period from the thirteenth to
the sixteenth century witnessed a rapid development of the
tournament. Alongside the original tourney - a mass battle fought
between opposing armies of knights with minimal and rudimentary
regulation - new forms of chivalric military contests emerged, in
which entertainment featured alongside the necessity of practice
for war. The joust featured individual combats, with increasingly
elaborate rules and variations in form and accompanying pageantry,
while the passage of arms placed tournaments within theatrical and
allegorical formats. This volume brings together the latest
research on the late medieval tournament, demonstrating how such
events, particularly at the courts of France, Burgundy, England and
the German principalities, were increasingly integrated in wider
festivities, ceremonies and diplomatic negotiations. Published in
association with the Royal Armouries, it will appeal to all those
interested in chivalric culture and medieval warfare.
