Question 93

Select all that apply. Which statements about medieval tournaments are correct?

  1. They gave knights practice in fighting between campaignsBonne réponse
  2. A tournament was simply another name for a battle in a war
  3. The joust was the whole of a tournament, and nothing else took place
  4. They were public occasions at which reputations could be madeBonne réponse
  5. The joust, in which two riders charged with lances, was one event within themBonne réponse

Explication

Tournaments kept fighting skills sharp when no campaign was under way and drew spectators, so success in them brought a knight both training and standing among his peers. Equating the mounted charge with the whole meeting fails because such gatherings also included fights between groups and other contests, with the single combat being one item on the programme.
