Jousting is a competitive sport in which two armored combatants engage in armed-but not necessarily lethal-combat both on horseback and on foot. In addition to the iconic lance competition, combatants often use weapons such as swords, daggers, and battle-axes in subsequent rounds. Though the sport was created for entertainment, it was also used to settle battles or wars
