Description

Re-created is every aspect of a picturesque martial art that originated as a violent, no-holds-barred melee in a field and evolved over 500 years into a carefully regulated ritual whose splendor and extravagance eventually overwhelmed all but the richest of European monarchs. Illustrated.
