The object of the tourney was simply to unhorse your opponent, though often
the fighting was so fierce that men were killed.
Challengers erected tents
at one end of the ground and hung a shield outside. A knight accepting the
challenge rode up and touched his lance to the shield.
The winner of the
jousts was awarded a prize by the Queen of Beauty, elected for the occasion
from amongst the women present.
