🏹 The History of Jousting – A Medieval Sport of Honor & Warfare

Jousting, or "tilting," originated as a military training exercise for knights in the Middle Ages. What started as battlefield preparation evolved into a spectacular sporting event celebrated by royalty and noble families.

🔹 Origins in 1066 – The first recorded jousting tournaments took place after the Norman Conquest of England.
🔹 Royal Tournaments – By the 12th century, jousting became a formal competition, often held to celebrate royal weddings, peace treaties, or military victories.
🔹 The Rise of Jousting Armor – As jousting evolved, knights began wearing full plate armor, complete with helmets, breastplates, and colorful coats of arms.
🔹 Famous Royal Jousting Accidents

  • King Henry VIII of England suffered a severe leg injury during a jousting match in 1536.
  • King Henry II of France was fatally injured in a jousting tournament in 1559 after a broken lance pierced his eye.

As the 15th and 16th centuries saw the rise of gunpowder warfare, jousting shifted from battlefield training to entertainment. It became a popular courtly sport, with tournaments often featuring choreographed battles, elaborate pageantry, and medieval feasting—much like the Arizona Renaissance Festival or Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament today!


🔢 How Jousting Was Scored

Jousting wasn’t just about brute strength—it was a calculated game of skill and precision. Knights were awarded points based on their lance strikes:

Full Knockdown – The highest score for unseating an opponent from their horse.
Lance Break on Breastplate (Cuirass) – Awarded for a powerful, direct hit.
Lance Strike with No Break – The lowest points, given for a glancing blow.
Penalties – Points were deducted for striking the opponent’s horse.
