Arms and Armour of the Medieval Joust
Tobias Capwell
Jousting is the most iconic form of mounted combat. For more than
five hundred years, the sport itself, and the chivalric culture
that surrounded it, took on almost mythical qualities. Here, Tobias
Capwell explains the glitz and glamour of a sport that attracted
enormous popular audiences throughout the late middle ages. Though
he deals almost exclusively with weapons and warriors, Capwell
tells a story not of war and destruction, but of pageantry and
valour. This is the story of the armour of peace.
Tobias Capwell FSA is Curator of Arms and Armour at The Wallace
Collection, London. He is an expert on the study of medieval and
Renaissance armour, and a skilled competitor in the modern
competitive jousting community.
