| Jousting was a sport. The goal was to unhorse your opponent, definitely not kill or even seriously injure him. In fact, injuries were supposed to be avoided. Both knights wore armor and the lance tips were blunted. Jousts were all about horsemanship and fighting skills. Generally a king would not be the one to escort his queen consort to something as mundane as a local fair or cattle show. A queen often had favorites among her husband's knights. It was perfectly acceptable for those of her choice to escort her to such activities. I'm basing this information on all the movies and TV shows I've seen about knighthood, chivalry, crusades, and all that Middle Ages stuff. However, I am not really an expert on Camelot. Although I love the score as heard on the OBC album, I have only seen two productions, the '93 tour with Robert Goulet as Arthur and the '07 tour with Michael York, Rachel York, and James Barbour. |
