It's so cool to see Medieval/ Middle Age sports getting some appreciation. Just because they're not necessarily useful or relevant anymore doesn't mean they can't still be fun and fascinating to learn about!

Glad you enjoyed the video! We think jousting is as relevant as ever. Our recent study found that it requires the fitness of a pro footballer or top tennis player: goo.gl/BBTJEq

A sport doesn't have to be useful to be relevant. How useful is cricket, football or track? The only relevance of a sport is the satisfaction and happiness it bring to the practitioners.

Holy Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV. (14th century) had physical condition of Olympic champion in decathlon. It was found out during anthropological research of his skeleton. Traces of heavy injury, probably from jousting had been also found on his skeleton (fractured lower jaw and badly damaged cervical spine). This injuries cause permanent consequences. They were not deadly, he live approx. for next 30 years after injuries happend.

As an American, we don't have many sports that herald back to our roots as a country that are even remotely as exciting as this! This is so wonderful! I love the fact that you are keeping the old sport alive like this! You know, there's obviously a LOT of people here in the states (myself included) who can trace some of their heritage back to England. We need to embrace our heritage and bring that great sport here and pay it some proper respect!

Mark Miles If you enjoy this, I suggest you to check horseback archery (if you haven't done it already)! It's been revived here, in Europe, and it's just as exciting!

Mark Miles - Jousting was the official sport of Maryland even before it was a state. Admittedly, not in full harness against each other, back then. Oh, and apparently the best jousters today are the Russians, so an English heritage has nothing to do with it (says the mostly German-descended poster).

@@davidweihe6052 Have you ever seen Russian style fencing? The footwork has a totally different rhythm, its great to watch!

Its really amazing to see Victoria Pendleton turned into a medieval knight in shining armour! She really seems like a modern days Joan of Arc. She is an amazing sportswoman who has everything to be a great jouster! You should invite her to do this sport more often.

...I had no idea that Erina Pendleton's descendant was so badass! ....also makes me wonder if she knows that ancient English bloodline of the Joestar family...

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well. I think that meme works even if you're a woman.

Fabulous! We have dinner theatres called Medieval Times here in the States. Idk if you know of them but jousting and all the beautiful horses and costumes are part of it. They even have some falconers! I have wanted to go to one forever. Idk if I'll make it but I keep hoping! Thanks EH💂🇬🇧✌🏇🎌🗡🐾

Many compliments

Vamplates!

She is like a modern Joan of Arc.

Armor too small for her, too many gaps where a sword or lance could get through.

Well, it wasn't built for her, was it? Lloyd on the Lindybeige channel has been reporting on buying his own set of custom-built armor for the past year, and hasn't finished, yet.

It's not too small for her; it fits her well. If it didn't, she would have trouble trying to move. Armour that's too small would bind and pinch. The gaps are because that's the way that style of armour was made. (see other armours of that pattern)

Are you related to Joan of Arch

The winner of the joust got a prize, which was sometimes the loser's horse!

That was pointless.
