Joust!

Artist: Kimberly Lyons

A contest of strength between knights. Jousting consists of two knights riding at each other, each trying to hit the opponent's shield with their lance. Most times, jousts end after one knight is knocked from his horse, but in some instances it will continue on foot. A joust is often done in a formal tournament, but a joust is also a common occurrence between knights in a less formal setting, especially if the two knights are not allies.
