Tournaments - jousts, chivalry and pageants in the Middle Ages

Tournaments - jousts, chivalry and pageants in the Middle Ages

Inbunden bok. Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 1 uppl. 1989. 225 sidor.

Mycket gott skick. Skyddsomslag i gott skick. Aiming at and striking the target:

I will discuss jousting first, as this is of the utmost importance, and men often fail to score a hit for lack of sight, poor control of their lances or horses, or lack of determination. As for sight, some close their eyes when they are about to hit, and yet they do not realise this because they are concentrating so hard. Others realise that they close their eyes but cannot stop themselves from doing SO. It is important to have someone whom you can ask where you failed or where you struck, and if [he] finds that you are not hitting every time, or that you are straying from the target, he must tell you that you cannot see, and advise you to keep your eyes open; so you may avoid the first error. And if you close your eyes because you cannot help it, that is a very difficult error to correct

Duarte, King of Portugal, c.1434
