Detailed Description
Steven Muhlberger, 148pp., hardcover
The tournament in the 14th century has been the subject of intense debate and excitement in recent years as tournament societies, scholars and Western martial artists review the period for its martial traditions.
Steven Muhlberger of Nipissing University has in this work translated Sir Geoffrey de Charny's 14th century DEMANDS for the very first time into English, more than a hundred questions addressing the tournament proper and the joust probably composed for Jean le Bon's Order of the Star, the French answer to Edward III's Order of the Garter. Starting with the demands, he provides a fresh view of the 14th century feat of arms, an immensely practical and lucid exploration of the feat of arms both as a legitimizing event with a new focus on the critical role of horses and equestrian affiliation. A must for any medieval reenactor, student or scholar on the martial history of the Middle Ages, especially as it pertains to Anglo-French history during the Hundred Years War.
