Tournaments: Jousts, Chivalry and Pageants in the Middle Ages

Indispensable reference book for anyone interested in jousting as the spectacle sport is on the rise in the world re-enactment community. Delivery was prompt as well - which doesn't always happen with items ordered from Amazon.

It is really superb. Thorough, good structured, scholarly, very very interesting, full of illustrations.

Excellent book if interested on medieval tourneys or doing redearch

A wonderfully engaging book packed full of information.

Unprofitably jaundiced perspective in places (such is the Age of Jealousy in which we live) but otherwise very sound and informative: an excellently broad and excellently illustrated overview of all kinds of genteel martial sport and chivalric ritual from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
