- Spectacular Medieval Jousting tournament re-enacted at Hever Castle by The Knights Of Royal England.
A colourful, action-packed spectacle of courage, strength and skill performed by the Knights of Royal England in the events field, in the grounds of the historic and picturesque Hever Castle, in Kent. This film shows highlights from the authentic jousting tournament, combat displays and sword fights.
A thrilling and enjoyable show suitable for all the family, which is held annually, during the summer months.
Transport yourself back in time to the most favourite form of Medieval entertainment, an exciting and colourful pageant where you can watch mounted knights charging towards each other on their destriers, at up to 40 miles per hour, using lances to defeat and hopefully dismount their opponents. Medieval jousting tournaments were the training grounds for Knights of the Middle ages but were also great entertainment for the local people.
The Knights of Royal England are one of the premiere jousting companies in Europe and perform at a number of venues each year, including the annual Jousting Tournament at the beautiful Hever Castle where visitors can witness a spectacular 90 minute display of action, stunts, falls and fights in an authentic arena.
The Knights use the same breed of horses as were used in mediaeval times, which came from Spain and Portugal, Andalusians and Lusitanos. The riding and training of these horses has changed little over the past 7-800 years.
Hever Castle
The castle situated in idyllic countryside has a rich history and formed the backdrop to some of the events that changed the course of Britain's history. The oldest part of the Castle dates back to 1270 and consisted of the gatehouse and a walled bailey. In the early 1500s the Boleyn family bought the Castle and added a Tudor dwelling within the walls and so it became the childhood home of its most famous inhabitant, Anne Boleyn. Anne became King Henry Vlll's second wife and Queen of England. Later the castle passed into the ownership of Henry's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. From 1557 onwards the Castle was owned by a number of families until in 1903, William Waldorf Astor restored the Castle and created the gardens and lake, which you can enjoy today.
Hever Castle is located in Hever, near Edenbridge, Kent, England.

i miss the old england
Such a fan of the little white horse. Big neck and action, love it.
A jolly good show, shall i say! *adjusts monocle*
Too bad we don't have any medieval jousting and legacy in America. But still a great show to watch
James Scott with a surname like Scott, it's your heritage as well.
Peter Edwards Thanks. Not to mention a lot of my kin came from the British Isles
+James Scott most americans are germans and english anyway.blood and soil
True and most of them find their roots back to the old country. Same as mine i have Irish-Polish blood
Yeah, you’re our cousins, it’s your legacy too.
Amazing
Wow. Those were the days
so why haven't we reinvented chariot racing yet?
BountyFlamor Now that isn't a bad idea!
I think its because that the reason chariots were even a thing was because horses were so weak, they needed two to pull one person in a chariot. Now that were "hopefully" out of prehistoric times, horses are dang strong. So do the same thing with modern horses and.... all i can say is good luck!
Ehm, we already have... It is called Harness Racing.

this is nothing more than a kid's cosplay. joust with real massive armors and decent lances.
Lets joust !!! So few people know the word and doesnt even have any translation / omologue in other languages....Tradutore traditore!!!
In real life in middle ages they hit those exact points so not to severely injure your opponent. That showed at the time what chivalrious gentleman they are!
really intense fighting!
Not really
You kidding me the guy with the bola was like "yo I'm gonna hit on the shield carlesley" DO YOU CALL THAT INTENSE!!!!!!!

@@NihilIslands in german you call it "Tjost"
@@NihilIslands Really depends on region and exact period. Late medieval and early modern jousting had all those ideas of chivalry ect. (just as romantized as today) , but High medieval tournaments were basically just arranged battles where knights fought each other in groups for real and tried to capture each other so they could demand ransom money.
Would like to see real, full contact jousting. Combat with swords etc. Of course, not to the death but real contact instead of faux tourneys. Still, fun for families. This could become an international sport again with countries competing in extreme sports Olympics.
Battle of the Nations, recreated foot version of the buhurt or tourney combat. It's about as real as you'll get without killing each other.
Full metal jousting, or knights of honor are full contact jousting.
There are several real full contact jousting teams in America who do perform at fairs
Imagine Knights fighting with Samurais
I wonder if the horses ever get hurt
❤😄🏴
0:47 Alberic, what happened?!
There's probably no point in caring, but in 0:59 the arms should have the fleur de lis in the top left and leopard in top right on account of the top left is dominant. When Edward iii invaded France to stake his claim to the crown he quartered his arms with the fleur de lis dominant to emphasize his supposed birthright.
Dude got destroyed 0:48
When its happen that event ? Is it on may day?
The jousting at Hever Castle is in the summer during July and August, check their website for details. The Knights of Royal England joust throughout the year so check their website they may be jousting near you depending on where you are.
I don't see the Knight of the flowers
Nimble Dick Loras would've won for sure. Garlan would win the melee though.
ya :D
Nah Barristan the bold would’ve recked all these novices
whas ma man henry 8th doing thear
Is it full contact?
No not even close
They just touched the spears. Lmao
Why are these the same coulered Knights as medieval times if there not connected somehow?
And the same symbols and kingdom names. Wow they shure have a lot in common!
Noel Uzelac they are just basic knightly designs they aren't connected. The colors and patterns usually just represent historical houses or kingdoms.
Генрих-8 ну просто как настоящий
Privet, Kaminski! Stop bolsevic mongholoids values like Stalin/Soros! Time to clean mess you left behind since URSS!!!!

Just to clear things up, this is a show it is all pretend. However there are real battles and tournaments out there. Look up Battle of the Nations.
Horses need head protection. Imagine skewering one of those beauties in the eye. Also two guys flailing at each other without helms. These folks are great ...but they, and the animals, are not being as well protected as in medieval times. I'm a Prevot d' Armes of the USFA..just saying...
It is a rule of the knights not to target the horse bc its dishonorable or something like that. Rarely the horses are hurt tbh
@@acrylic1176 True, but it's still a high risk for the animal. Most sports have rules that not allow players to hurt each other, but people still get hurt regulary.
If you really want to see a spectacular joust you should visit the Kaltenberger Rittertunier. It´s the best joust in the world performed by the French stunt group Cavalcade, the only group that specializes on the joust and can do it realistic. Yes, its choreographed, but it is still a thousand times more impressive than this and I bet they could do it a hindred times better than these guys (yes, I know, Cavalcade does this for a living, these guys don't) Having been to Kaltenberg at least half a dozen times (if not more), I didn't know if to cry, shake my head, roll on the floor laughing, or die of boredom when I watched this video. They never really hit each other! On top of that the horses are nearly trotting not galloping! Let me describe Cavalcades joust for you. The two knight line up on either side of the arena. The knights lower their lances and the horses accelerate to FULL speed (very fast, mostly when the horse is called Allegro). Then they actually hit each other (the shield of course), parts of lances go flying everywhere. If you think, oh its just some kind of trick, trust me (or if you don't (understandable) go to Kaltenberg) its not. The crash of lance on shield is extremely loud and proves that they actually hit each other with tremendous force (even if the lances are made out of soft wood). Depending on the plan, they sometimes "manage" to stay on their horses (though not without difficulty), sometimes they fall off (with the forces involved there´s not much acting there) and sometimes they, well, throw themselves off their horse, if they didn't get hit quite hard enough. And every once in a while someone gets dragged through the arena behind their horse ;).
Otherwise there are quite a few other things going on including ground fighting, show riding and action. Around the arena is a medieval market and stages where jugglers, entertainers (anyone know the best translation for Gaukler?) and musicians perform before and after the joust.
If anyone wants to see a bit of Cavalcade´s work just watch the movie "A Knights Tale" or the TV-Series "Merlin". All the jousting in both is done by Cavacade. They have done many jousts in movies and tv-series. If you want to know if they did it in a certain one just ask :) (I don't bite)
Any other questions (or suggestions to good jousts in the world) please just ask!
Antaris Soren ok goo
Yes you
Antaris Soren can you meet in town err o pl the queen queen
Yes yok
Yesyoue
This is choreographed and acted by stunt men using non-lethal equipment. Real jousting was actively dangerous, no one in their right mind would do the real thing today
