knights took part in tournaments such as jousting and wooing ladies in their time off
That competition is called jousting. The knights use lances to try to knock each other off their horses while riding towards each other at high speeds. It was a popular medieval sport and a symbol of chivalry and prowess.
Medieval knights would often display the armor they won jousting as a sign of their prowess and victories. Some knights might also repurpose the armor for future tournaments or battles.
Knights who demonstrated their fighting skills in contests were often called tournament knights. Tournaments were events where knights competed against each other in various combat activities to showcase their prowess and skill.
The armor worn for jousting is called a "suit of armor" or "jousting armor." It is designed to provide protection to the rider during the physical combat of the joust. This armor is typically heavier and more reinforced than regular armor to withstand the impact of the jousting lance.
Knights participated in mock battles known as jousting tournaments. These tournaments were popular in the Middle Ages and served as a way for knights to showcase their combat skills and prowess. Jousting tournaments were also a form of entertainment for nobles and commoners alike.
~ It took a knight about 30 minutes to get dissed into their full armour for jousting. ~ Knights met at about 60mph when jousting on horses. ~ Their armour weighed 20kg. ~ They had spiral stairs so that it was hard for the knights to get up in heavy armour and a heavy sword and shield whist fighting. ~ loldogs, ~ ;)
