We’ve all seen jousts in the movies and probably enjoyed them.

Well, shame on you. That’s not what jousting is like at all, and it certainly wasn’t the only kind of jousting available at the tournaments of the Middle Ages. Of course, the real problem is that we don’t understand what we, or even they, meant when they said jousting and tournament. So maybe we can help straighten things out and increase your actual appreciation of all things jousting.
