- What was it like to be a knight in the middle ages? What were your roles and responsibilities? How dangerous were medieval tournaments?
History Hit's Luke Tomes and Louee Dessent are back at the medieval tiltyard outside the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds for the medieval tournament challenge. Can our knight in shining armour complete our medieval gauntlet, including picking up a glove from horseback, the quintain and full contact jousting against a real opponent?
Louee and Luke get to learn about what it was really like to be a knight in the Middle Ages, donning a full suit of armour themselves and completing their own set of physical tests. Can you sprint in armour? How cumbersome is it? Is the Hollywood image of the clunky, slow-moving knight really that accurate? Watch the video where we answer these questions and more!

Snuff is an impeccably beautiful horse.
I’d forgotten about the bizarrely creative decorative headgear in old depictions. Humans do like spectacle…that certainly hasn’t changed. Sir Andy is being modest…it takes a lot of training to develop that level of hand/eye coordination. Very impressive.
Excellent film! The Armouries is THE perfect place to watch Jousting!
We love it!
Now I need February to come again for the next joust
I was just thinking about these guys the other day doing these videos cool to see another
Thanks for watching
Great video guys , interesting and funny to good to see you back 😁😁😁
Another top video guys giving us an insight to the training of a knight with Andy. I would guess the showmanship was a big part to build up the anticipation prior to the competition. Not only a tough job for the knight but for the squire as well as any failures we know who the finger would point at. I guess it's a similar thing for todays project managers. Many thanks for sharing.
I really hope you guys carry on making videos, there always really great 😁😁😁
A wonderful historical coverage (video) about knight training programs and schools in European medieval terms....it was similar to nowadays training and educating camps of military elite divisions ... Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the comment!
Once a king, always a king.
Once a knight…is enough.
Well presented video.
Absolutely love this channel
Thanks!
I like these guys keep up the great vids
Enjoyed this
Glad to see the boys are back again
Royal armories is a fantastic day out.
My brother lives next door and i visited him recently, that whole part of Leeds has changed heaps since I left the UK 20 years ago.
Hi HH. Love your work 👍
Thank you!
Just spotted Eleanor Janega in the background - thought this looked familiar!
Inception!
The one without a mask looks like his armer was made out of metal coffee cans HAHAHAHA Well done guys!!!
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks for watching!
Knight Court next. Thanks
:) Excellent
Joust the video to watch
The tips of the Lances are made of Balsa Wood that is why they shatter
In the Dutch provinces that game with rings is still done by the farmers
Snuff is absolutely beautiful 😁😁😁
Majestic 😍😍
One of my fore fathers was a Knight in the Netherlands !
any ideas for future videos 😁😁😁
So Much Suffering!
Surely you joust. I never joust and don't call me Shirley
I bet all of these tasks are WAY harder than he made them look
I'm so jealous!
Imagine you have to go to the Bathroom 😬

The squire may have to clean your armor.
Ask King Henry the eight since he was crippled for life while jostling.
I had a coworker whose husband had a severe head injury. Prior to the injury he had been a kind and gentle person…it completely changed him. Sadly, she ignored the doctors begging her not to take home and he killed her. An tragic example, but one that certainly makes what happened to Henry VIII believable.
Henry ll of France was killed because of an hjousting accident
The boys are back!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍
6:22 wow he throw that thing like 5 inch
I would be OK if I could use kevlar armor.
isn't this a re-upload? i've definitely seen this before
Yeah, way too soon to be re-uploading, but they probably fixed the music or something.
I haven't seen it before, might be though

Recap by Tammy AI
For some reason, after watching this I want to watch A Knight's Tale, the "2001 movie."
Great film 👍
It had a great cast and soundtrack but still told a great medieval story. @@HistoryHit
You guys remind me of the Weasley twins
I just looked at knights and now this comes lol
Also first
I don’t think that medieval Knights had a go pro on their head. 🤣
Never accept disrespect.
If you couldn't survive a joust I wouldn't be here. Many ancestors were knights.
I don't think so!
dribble soccer ball is missed....
Knight? Really? Surely "man-at-arms". To be a knight you had to have a worth of more than ten pounds: you didn't have to actually wear armour and fight as, when called to join a war band, you could pay scutage and pay for a man-at-arms to take your place. Many "knights" never put on armour in their life.
Give me a gun and a cumbersome oath in a can serving his king. Tanks are still a staple on the battlefield, but developments are taking us in directions where tanks aren't feasible anymore, such as intelligent anti-tank mines and other sorts of autonomous weapons. The same sort of thing happened to the thug in heavy metal armor.
I hope one day everything falls apart and we can get back to riding horses, fighting with melee weapons and dieing early.
Audio = horrible. Not much point in watching a video I can barely hear. 👎
