"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."
Thanks for that info. But, again, what actually ends up happening in CAMELOT is that Sir Lionel is indeed "run through" by Lancelot's spear, and dies from that injury (and then is prayed back to life by Lancelot). |
