	Jousting :: Stronghold Knights :: Ready to serve you! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Jousting is a competition between two knights on a horseback and each knight’s goal is to strike his opponent with a lance and knock him off his mount.
		Initially these "jousts" served as a way for Knights to hone their fighting skills during times of peace, but quickly became a money making venture as the winning team could hold the losers for ransom accepting their horses and armor as payment.
		The other form of jousting in the practice tournament was "riding at the rings", the surviving form of jousting with which we are most concerned.

	Jousting
		The origins of jousting are believed to be in classical Rome, but the "sport" rose to its greatest popularity in Europe by the 1400's.
		The Jousts were great money-makers for the victors; instead of claiming mere points, the winning team held the losers for ransom, often accepting their horses and armor as payment.
		Most contests were a "Joust a Plaisir" (for pleasure) in which a winner was declared on the basis of points scored, though some were still conducted "a l'Outrance" (to the death).

	Order of the Boar Jousting Tournament
		The jousting competition tests the jousters in jousting against another jouster with shield and lance.
		The minimum protective body equipment is a padded undergarment that covers the entire torso and upper thighs as well as at least the upper arms worn under a steel mail hauberk that covers at least the same areas.
		These circumstances could be if the horse throws it’s head up just prior to impact or if the opponent folds their shield just before impact and not allowing the other jouster enough time to either release the grip on the lance or move it off target.

		Jousting was only allowed in the Master's presence and if he gave his Templar knights the permission to do it.
		It wouldn't have been the jousting itself that was against the Templar ethos, but the attendant pagentry, showyness, bombast, courtship and frivolity.
		Practicing, training and using the knight's equipment remained restricted by certain rules: shooting with crossbows was restricted to target practice; horse racing, like jousting, was allowed only with the permission of the Master.

	Re: Jousting
		Their version of jousting is riding a horse at full gallop, and trying to spear a ring with your lance.
		: Jousting and the consequences of missing the ring are shown very nicely in the well-researched spoof film/movie 'A Knight's Tale.' Musical accompaniment by Queen.
		You know the thing - you hit the shield but had to be at full tilt and hit it directly full-on, or the large arm on the other side would revolve round and smack you in the back, unhorsing you.
