A Brief History of Jousting, Knights & their Bone-Crushing Injuries
In this video Kevin Hicks takes a brief look at the history of jousting, why knights jousted and also explores some of the bone-crushing injuries from medieval and Tudor tournaments that left knights maimed, crippled and in some cases dead.

It’s not just the rate of speed it’s also the mass to factor into the impact. Henry II Of France is the jousting accident I’m most familiar with, but from a medical perspective. Henry II was first attended to by the royal surgeon Ambroise Paré, then joined by renowned physician Andreas Versalius of Brussels. As you mentioned, the tip of the lance splintered piercing the through the eye socket. They successfully removed the splinter and at first the prognosis was good. Henry would lose the eye but survive. I would assume the tip of a lance to be pretty dirty, causing the infection to start. After many discussions with other colleagues the consensus was…The infection had migrated to the back of poor Henry’s head, to the rear of the right cerebral hemisphere forming an abscess. He would have already had increased cranial pressure due to brain swelling from the initial impact and the abscess, as it worsened, would have added to that pressure. If that pressure isn’t relieved, the only place for the brain to expand is down the spinal column. I’m sure the doctor tried their best but with a CT scan or even an x-ray, they had little chance of finding the abscess. I really enjoyed this video because it’s a subject I know little about, and I’m always grateful when someone takes the time to teach me something, so thank you very much, Sincerely Doc

@@thehistorysquad Yes poor Henry, but it’s my understanding that the woman he was having an affair with (His Courtesan) didn’t fare too well either from Henry’s misfortune. Henry’s wife (The woman scorned) had her stripped of every penny, every piece of jewelry and every gift Henry lavished upon her. Henry’s wife then had her evicted from the palace leaving her homeless. So July 10th, 1559 was a rather bad day for more than just poor, unlucky Henry! I don’t get much free time so when I do, I find myself lost in my love of history and your enthusiasm is so contagious I end up binge watching! I especially love the models you create, seeing history laid out in a detailed model puts everything in perspective and makes for a better understanding of an event or how terrain can influence a battle…..and admittedly, they’re fun too!

Sort of unrelated,but not. For centuries,an autopsy was mandatory upon the death of the French king. Louis the XIV was found to have an extra loop of intestine. No idea if small or large. He was a famous trencherman,able to eat truly massive quantities of food. I wonder when this autopsy policy started. Possibly the death of Henri II ? Before ? After ? How would you find out ? I am not aware of the same policy being followed by the English crown. Henry VIII,so the story goes,his body was heard to explode in the summer heat while in his coffin. That would indicate to me an autopsy being unlikely,no ?

@@paulmanson253 Before! Henry II had a post-Mortem preformed 9 days after the jousting accident. Both Dr. Paré and Dr. Versalius we’re in attendance. They both were very interested in learning the cause of his death. I’m not sure about the English Monarchy’s policy regarding autopsies on royalty. If I had to guess I’m pretty certain they didn’t do post-Mortems on members of the royal family. Stupid too, the cause of death is important for many reason,…legal (as in suspicious circumstances) and for learning. The only way to advance a field like medicine is by learning the cause and how to improve treatment in the future. I’m not sure about the English Monarchy and their policy about autopsies performed on members of the Royal family. I would be curious to find out, so if you know then please inform me. Take care, Doc

@@johnhenderson131 I just looked up the word autopsy in my 1912 Chambers dictionary. Personal inspection, directly from the Greek. From old memory here,so that is a caveat. When the son of Henry II of England died,called Henry the Young King,at his request,William Marshall himself took a knife and cut out the heart and designated internal organs. Body,heart and organs buried in three separate places. No idea where. Henry II died in tragic circumstances,William Marshall once again in attendance. No idea if there was a repeat of previous. The Lionheart,1198 I think. No autopsy needed there. There is a wonderful 1973 movie called Robin and Marion. Fiction of course,but you should watch it. King John about 1215 or so. No autopsy. Hmm. Fast forward to the Wars of the Roses. Civil War with kinfolk killing kinfolk. Not much motivation for autopsy. No sane person would suggest an autopsy on Henry VI ,it would have cost them their life. During the closing years of Henry VIII,vivat rex was the only sane thing to say. Speculation on the king's health was awfully close to treason,and Henry loved treason charges. Elizabeth Tudor ? Unlikely. The Stuarts ? Charles II was Louis XIV cousin. So I suppose that might be a starting point. The Georgians? No idea. Good question though. Best I can do.

Great video like always! Probably the most frequent fatal injury in jousting was breaking the neck, when falling off a horse. There is a clear development in mideval helm making to prevent this. The "Frogmouth" is a good example. It´s back part was made of one plate, which would prevent the knight´s neck from overbending, if thrown off the horse (not only in tournaments). Another method was fixating the helmet with a metal frame, so that the sensitive part of the neck would stay in a rather stiff position.

Very interesting as usual, thanks again Kevin ! But the death of king Henry II didn't quite happen like you told us... this tragedy was very well documented (of course, because it was the king !) and in fact it was all about bad luck. That day, the king, riding a horse whose name was "Malheureux" (which means now unhappy in french, but meant then unlucky -yes !) already fought two jousts. Then came the third and last of the day, against Gabriel de Montgomery, captain of the king's Scottish guard. Henry had a strong reputation as a jouster, but Montgomery was also a tough guy. And off they go... the shock was impressive, the two men both broke their lances (and we know why, because you told us lances were made for that, a fact many people don't know), but none of them fell from his horse. Draw, end of the game ? For Henry, impossible, though a new fight was against the rules. But he was a proud king and couldn't be satisfied with a draw, and, maybe more, some people said Diane de Poitiers, his mistress, had a crush on Montgomery, so it was more than a matter of honor. He ordered the young officer to fight again. Montgomery was of course reluctant, but how could he disobey his king ? So they fought again, and again they broke their lances. But there was a small problem which had dire consequences : king Henry's squire didn't lock well the helmet's visor (because it was a helmet with a visor, Kevin...), and when the lance broke, the broken part slipped on the king's armor breast plate, lifted the visor and penetrated Henry's eye socket. The end of the story, you told us. But did you know it has been said that queen Catherine's astrologer warned her a fe days before to avoid a third fight ? True or not, it was anyway a tragedy...

ah wicked, always wanted to see you do a vid on this. nice one.
I remember attending a joust in the mid 80's outside of London. The spectacle of it was something that you have to see to really appreciate it, especially with the hidden dangers of it. One of the knights unfortunately had his horse rear and fall on him. He turned out to be fine after being examined at the hospital (very, very lucky on his part) but it was interesting seeing the 20th century meet the Middle Ages as an armoured knight was hauled away in an ambulance.

You have impeccable timing as usual Kev. I've just gotten back my buhurt practice, shed my 55 pounds of armor and put my gambeson up to dry. I keep telling myself I'm going to give it a proper wash once I find the time but everyone's gambeson smells like a locker room and as long as its not actually trying to crawl away from you, no one really cares. But I digress. I have been jousting before and beside the obvious danger of essentially playing chicken with spears, horses are notorious for not wanting to do what they're told, even the best trained horse can have a bad day, I've been thrown off more than a few times, one time the horse decided he really didn't like me and tried to stomp me when I was on the ground, only thing that saved me from having shattered bones was that I was full armored and had enough training to be able to move in it fast enough to get out of the way. Death and maiming aside, my favorite story of jousting is in 1227, Ulrich von Liechtenstein write himself as the protagonist in Frauendienst, where he travels from Vienna to Venice dressed in the arms of Venus challenging anyone to a joust, if his opponent won he would give them a ring and if Ulrich won they would have to bow to the four corners of the world in honor of his lady. Though by the end of it he's broken 307 lances and given away 270 rings, and his lady wrote to him saying she was surprised he still had all his fingers where he promptly cuts one off and sends it to her. The things we do for love...
