- To mark the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II the summer joust at the Royal Armouries in Leeds took us back in time to the reign of Elizabeth I with a superb Elizabethan Tournament at the Titltyard!
As ever, some of the world's best jousters were on display treating us to amazing horsemanship and high octane action!
Shot over the course of 2 shows this is my little roundup of this epic event!

I wish jousting got more mainstream appeal. Really hard to find any footage that isn't like a decade old here on TH-cam
100% with you on that! I have a new video coming out today from The Smashes last week 👍
Fun fact: Jousting is the official state sport of Maryland.
@@Concetta20 yep ...soooo lucky!
@@Concetta20 its not real jousting tho, just spearing rings for time
Standards are getting higher. Well done.
The standard is just incredible and this year's Easter International Joust was no different!
Finally! Real jousting. You can tell by the way the lances shatter and the way the men and horses move. You can tell that there is actual impact. Not like the actors that get touched and fall off and roll around like they got hit by a car! Now! To try to find some more! I'm a horsemen and artist and it is extremely difficult to find really good reference material. Thank you so very much. And to those that are getting out there and doing the jousting, my heart and love goes out to you. Much gratitude.
I've got a couple more videos from the Royal Amouries jousting tournaments here on my channel! 👊👍
Nunca cae nadie.El suelo no es apto para caidas.Es solo teatro,espectáculo.Intenta caerte como los " actores", y verás que risa te dá.Un poco de respeto,y sentido común,te hacen mucha falta 😊
Greenwich armours are just gorgeous
This is cool.
Thank you! Be sure to check out the rest of my videos on jousting....my latest is a min doc on the sport of modern jousting with 3 of the best!
Please take the grey filter off so we can see the full glorious colour of the heraldry.
Hahaha I'll do that on the next video 😂
BANG..!!!
👊😁
I didn’t know they had cameras back then
😂
Question, I'm from Texas and was wanting to know how I would be able to get into Jousting, and compete in different tournaments?
I'm no expert at all but I would start by checking out your local renaissance fairs as I'm sure some of the attendees will be riders who can steer you in the right direction. Also, follow some of the guys over here in the UK on social media who may be able to point you where to go...guys like Andy Deane from the Royal Armouries and Mike Collin.
@@chivalricmedia Do they have emails or anything to get in contact with or websites that you know of to check out regarding information. I can also ask next time I'm at the Renaissance Fair.
@@geoffreyparker2786 I don't know their emails but they are pretty easy to find on Instagram 👍...defo worth asking at your next Renaissance Fair
I admire this and I love medieval history but I must say this is a death sport pure and simple.
I know what you're saying but this modern version, whilst still being extremely physically demanding and with rubber coronels and bolsa wood tips, is as safe as any sport can be.
@@chivalricmedia Thanks. Just know too many historical incidents when a lance shard penetrated the visor slit. Got them covered?
@@gerryleb8575 All this armour is period correct and has the design attributes from that period, along with throat protection.
@@chivalricmedia I can see that your equippages are brilliant and the skill of the participants is amazing. I understand you are not fooling around, and that your armor is historically accurate. I commend you for all of that. I wish you all the best!
Anyone else notice at 1:38 the stick broke before even touching anything 🤷
yeah hopefully they didn t made their lances as sturdy as during medieval times to avoid injuries!
They make the lances flimsy to avoid possible causing injuries. That one in particular gots me scratching my head because they are still pretty solid and take a bit of force to break apart.
1:37 the black tip lance breaks even without contact, no wonder there's no unhorsing, it's just for show. "high octane action"
Yeah, as far as I'm aware these lance's have a interchangeable tips so I guess in this instance the attachment has come loose and the momentum meant it dropped. All jousting tournaments are shows so I still stand by the high octane statement 😁👊
@@chivalricmediaI wouldn't say all are for show. I been to some events where the lances were sturdy and only broke on impact. For safety reasons they were toned down slightly from what they would use in medieval times but still would unhorse someone if struck right
@@newnamesameperson397 I would assume safety for both horse and rider play a huge part in the reasoning behind these type of lance's, also budget too will play a part.
Don't forget the saddles that are used too, that are designed to keep the rider 'in' the saddle.
They don't have unlimited laces. Yes, they are made to break. Nobody wants their eye taken out. As the day go's on, they probably try and patch up the semi broken lances so they can make a few more runs. Not for the audience. They probably just live what they do 🤷♂️ I'm guessing that was a patched up lance, but the black Knight wouldn't give up, its only a flesh wound, he said, as he grabbed his patched up lance.
Those lances are extremley weak , one broke off just from riding .
As far as I'm aware they are ends that are attached onto the main body of these lance's....the one that broke off clearly wasn't attached properly
