Description

`Scholarly study - does much to illuminate an important element of chivalric culture.' HISTORY `Barker's sterling book is clearly written and logically organized. Its scholarship is aoutrance, its appeal to the student of the chivalric period a plaisance'. American Historical Review Dec 89`an admirable book that can he strongly recommended to anyone desirous of understanding either the nature or the significance of the most popularsport of the later-medieval nobility.' Speculum Jan 90 Juliet Barker surveys the tournament in England from its first emergence in the 12th century to the beginning of the 15th century when it was revolutionised by the emergenceof technical changes which altered its very nature.
