Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh insights into the development of the tournament as an opportunity for social display. The period from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century witnessed a rapid development of the tournament. Alongside the original tourney - a mass battle fought between opposing armies of knights with minimal and rudimentary regulation - new forms of chivalric military contests emerged, in which entertainment featured alongside the necessity of practice for war. The joust featured individual combats, with increasingly elaborate rules and variations in form and accompanying pageantry, while the passage of arms placed tournaments within theatrical and allegorical formats. This volume brings together the latest research on the late medieval tournament, demonstrating how such events, particularly at the courts of France, Burgundy, England and the German principalities, were increasingly integrated in wider festivities, ceremonies and diplomatic negotiations. Published in association with the Royal Armouries, it will appeal to all those interested in chivalric culture and medieval warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Europe, medieval forces were either engaged in conflict or preparing for it through training. Arising from the need to keep the skills of warriors sharp and battle-ready, medieval jousting for knights on horseback became a widespread pastime. This book details how the culture of medieval tournaments arose around jousting and other games of combat, including both for the mounted cavalry (knights) and foot soldiers (in events such as melees) and became a central aspect of medieval court life. Readers will be further drawn in by the visual pageantry and artifacts depicted in the book's historical imagery.

Book Synopsis Early Modern Court Culture by : Erin Griffey
Download or read book Early Modern Court Culture written by Erin Griffey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a thematic overview of court culture that connects the cultural with the political, confessional, spatial, material and performative, this volume introduces the dynamics of power and culture in the early modern European court. Exploring the period from 1500 to 1750, Early Modern Court Culture is cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, providing insights into aspects of both community and continuity at courts as well as individual identity, change and difference. Culture is presented as not merely a vehicle for court propaganda in promoting the monarch and the dynasty, but as a site for a complex range of meanings that conferred status and virtue on the patron, maker, court and the wider community of elites. The essays show that the court provided an arena for virtue and virtuosity, intellectual and social play, demonstration of moral authority and performance of social, gendered, confessional and dynastic identity. Early Modern Court Culture moves from political structures and political players to architectural forms and spatial geographies; ceremonial and ritual observances; visual and material culture; entertainment and knowledge. With 35 contributions on subjects including gardens, dress, scent, dance and tapestries, this volume is a necessary resource for all students and scholars interested in the court in early modern Europe.

Book Synopsis The Tournament and Literature by : Mary Arlene Santina
Download or read book The Tournament and Literature written by Mary Arlene Santina and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful ladies, dashing chevaliers, injuries, and death; how were these part of the literary tournament? This schematic analysis examines these and numerous other aspects of the knightly tournament as they were presented in works of the late twelfth to early thirteenth centuries, and also identifies the role the tournament played in the literature of the day. This analysis of Old French narratives views the sport in its infancy, and in the process reveals contrasts with the more colorful and better-known tournament of the fifteenth century.
