Medieval tournaments evolved from the military games of the Roman Empire. The first tournaments that were called by that name, which had a new, medieval, character, happened some time around 940 or 950. But it was not until about 1050 or so that the tournaments took on the form we would recognize, with knights jousting and so on. The critical issue here might have been the inventions of the stirrup and arched saddle, without which jousting is really not possible.
