As jousting in warfare became obsolete, the tournament began to change. From
the sport of showing one's warrior prowess in skill-at-arms and jousting
matches, the tournament became an elaborate show, with skill being
secondary.
By the late 1500's, the knight was encased in more than 120 lbs.
of padding and armour and could scarcely move. His horse would sometimes
falter or fall due to the extreme weight of armour on horse and rider. Combine
this with a lance rest, that was bolted to the armour, and an unbreakable
lance that was wedged to the lance rest, this was a situation that only a
few would want to be in.
