I knew Toby when he jousted at The Bristol Renaissace Faire in the early to mid 1990's along with Hollis Hale, while both great guys so glad to see that Toby got into a field he so loves
Dorkey museum curator? Not a bit. I saw him in action at the 2009 Tournament of the Phoenix in Poway California this past weekend. This guy is an unbelievable horseman and a kick-your-ass tournament jouster. If you've never seen real jousting and ever have the chance, you owe it to yourself. No lame Renn Faire stuff. These guys get after it. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll come away a fan, looking forward to the next tournament.
What envy...but I´m also on the way to be a scholar, and I almost live in the local armory museum. Not as big and cool as the one at Leeds, you lucky Brits! ;)
@recreoanacronista well i live in leeds and have been to the armouries hundreds of times and if you ever get to go check out all the different shows like different sword fighting techniques, historical stories and best of all the jousts and chariot races
Very nice and brief video of Dr. Tobias Capwell. It is good to see things about his interest he's pretty much a freaking fanatic about Arms and Armor...which is a good thing:) Thanks for posting this and your other videos!!! Hollis Hale

I recognize toby from Mike Loades Weapons that made Britain series. Cant believe the series didnt mention his interest in jousting, so appropriate!

Wow.. I really want to visit the Royal Armouries now.
Jousting depicted here was a lot different than I thought, they lowered the lances at very last moment. I didn't expect it to be like that.
