Henry the Young King and John the Marshall were famously good jousters.
Like car racing - they raced for “pink slips”. The winner won the losers horse and armor - or the monetary equivalent.
Jousting is also the State Sport of Maryland.
The Maryland Renn Fair has, as one might expect, some excellent jousting!
Did you see the show? I think it could be a real sport. You gotta be a bad apple to do it though!
What killed the sport the last time was when King Henry II of France was killed when pieces of broken lance went through his visor eyehole and wound up in his brain.
