NP-B020 MEDIEVAL TOURNAMENT CHAMPION

Knightly tournaments (in Old French: torneiement or tornei) were a specific form of knightly competitions and checking the skills of individual knights. According to tradition, it is assumed that the first tournament was organized around 1060, but a certain tournament, certified by sources, took place in 1095 in the county of Flanders. In the 12th century, knightly tournaments are already certified in sources in France, England and Germany. In Poland, and more precisely in Silesia, this form of knightly competitions did not arrive until the mid-thirteenth century. It is worth adding that there were at least two types of knightly tournaments. The first of them was called melee or bohurt and was based on the fight of two knight teams that used sharp weapons and tried not to kill their opponents. Although, as you can guess, such accidents had to happen. It happened that both teams had between 200 and 300 knights in total. The second type of tournament is the estor, i.e. a fight of two knights on horses, at first fighting with a lance, and then with a hand weapon - most often with a sword. It should be remembered that it was only in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries that knight tournaments gained a spectacular setting and became a very important element of knightly culture. Only then began to use blunt copies or the so-called safe swords.Knightly tournaments (in Old French: torneiement or tornei) were a specific form of knightly competitions and checking the skills of individual knights.
