As well as the mounted spectacle of the joust we can provide the Medieval Foot Tourney.
Fully armoured men-at-arms in authentic steel plate armour will fight it out with bill, sword, buckler, poleaxe and if necessary dagger.
Along with the combat there is included a talk through of the combat styles, their history and evolution.
All the moves are taken from the authentic 15th Century duellists manuals of Germany and Italy. Devised by the original judicial champions of the period.
The demonstration can be done as a fast flowing fight, or as a step by step guide to each move and why a fighter would employ that technique.
As with all Foreign Field Displays, all our interpreters will get involved with the public and share the teachings with your visitors.
