If movies have not lied to me (😜), knights’ tournaments are involve hacking, slashing, and jousting each other. How did they not kill each other using such weapons or speed on horses? And if it was actually dangerous, why did they participate?
In: 155
They were heavy armored and the jousting lance were of a soft wood. They would break very easily and the one who broke his lance on the opponent was awarded the winner.
Source: I read this in a museum in germany were many armors and tournament weapons were on display.
