Jousting

Jousting is a medieval sport where two armored knights on horseback charge at each other with long wooden lances, aiming to unseat their opponent. It took place during tournaments, often as a form of entertainment and demonstration of martial skills. The knights wore protective gear and aimed to strike the opponent's shield or body while maintaining control of their horse. Points were awarded based on skill and performance. Jousting played a significant role in knightly culture and chivalry, symbolizing honor, bravery, and competition during the Middle Ages. Today, it is often reenacted for historical events and entertainment.
