A medieval lance is a long, pointed weapon used primarily by cavalry during the Middle Ages. Designed for mounted combat, it typically measures between 10 to 14 feet in length and features a wooden shaft with a metal tip for penetrating armor. Lances were often employed in jousting tournaments as well as in battle, where they allowed knights to charge at enemies with significant force. Their design evolved over time to enhance both reach and effectiveness in combat situations.
There are two types of lances: heavy and light. heavy: 9 to 14 feet. light: 5 to 9 feet. Sometimes shorter.
The Bayuex Tapestry told historians how weapons were handeled at this time. Such as the over hand use of the lance (not commonly) and the size and shape of the sheilds.
The Lance surname originted in Norfolk, England.

A lance is a medieval weapon which is like a long spear used from horseback. Knights would attempt to charge enemies with this weapon, usually in dense formation. The lance was used from the ancient world to the Napoleonic era (to a limited extant.)
Some of the most popular medieval games include Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame, Pool of Radiance, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, and Age of Empires.
For the knights, they joust each other. The first one who knocked off the opposing knight off his horse by lance will be the winner.
