Jousts and Tournaments Ref: CB-8285
“...will immediately take its place as one of the finest works on the Medieval tournament...no future scholar seeking to write on chivalry, tournaments or warfare during the later Middle Ages can afford to miss this book.” - Dr. Kelly DeVries, Author of Infantry Warfare in the 14th Century

Steven Muhlberger adds a significant new work to the understanding of the ‘tournament’ of the 14th century with this groundbreaking work. Drawing extensively and with great expertise from the historial record, and featuring the first translation of the 14th-century Demands Pour La Joute, Le Tournois et La Guerre by Sir Geoffroi de Charny, Dr. Muhlberger has created a crystal-clear picture of what the sweat, blood and competition of the mounted tournament was all about.

Beautifully written and illustrated with six equally-beautiful full-page color illuminations, the book is also unusually accessible for an academic work, an enjoyable read for medieval enthusiasts at any level of knowledge or experience.

The book is presented in two parts. Part I offers the analysis, while Part II contains the original French transcription by Michael Anthony Taylor and a facing page translation of each “question” posed by the wily 14th-century de Charny. Muhlberger’s translation of these questions alone warrant interest in the book, since they lend a fascinating glimpse into the concerns of tourneyers and how they thought.

Far more than an academic work, this book crosses the boundary and can boast success both for serious academics and for amateur students of medieval chivalry, tournaments, and warfare.
