Did the knights joust to the death?

Answer 1

They would probebly be a bit battered and bruised and a little bit poorer, they'd get drunk, make some new friends and either try and find the next tourney, go home, or join a nobleman's retinue.

They wouldnt feel dishonoured becuase there was nothing they should feel dishonoured about they simply lost.

Answer 2

Knights fought in the middle ages. In the first battle of the 100 years war, arrows from English longbows pierced the armor of French knights. That made the armor of knights useless in warfare. As a result, they had to put their armor away.

Answer 3

No, knights did not joust to the death. Jousting was a form of combat training and entertainment where knights would use lances to try to unseat their opponent from their horse. The goal was to unhorse the opponent, not to cause serious injury or death.

Answer 4

Jousting wasn't intended to be lethal, although accidents did happen. The scoring system was by hits scored, or by unseating a rider.
