  • Nice take, however, even into the beginning of the 20th century, cavalry trained heavily to hit targets with saber at speed. Talhoffer's MS clearly shows combatants at full-speed, indicating the technique is done during in war as a charging maneuver.

    Also, turn and tourney have at their roots the meanings: "TURN in circles" and also "my TURN in line."

    Knights circling each other on a prize-fighting field is likely, but fighting like that in war is to abandon cavalry's main advantage: speed.

  • Une partie du Talhoffer souvant méconue...

    Merci pour ces images qui donnent envie !

  • I have read and one of my professors and I have talked about mounted combat. I believe that many actions did not involve simply charging by each other and included fighting in a circle by turning. That is actually supposed to be where the word tourney came from.

  • God you guys are so lucky...keep up the good work.
