Medieval Warfare Vol. VII.3 - Great Feats of Arms

Steven Mulhberger leads our issue, which examines the rise of tournaments and jousts, from their beginnings as "bloodless battles" to events that were more theater than sport. We'll cover tournaments from Byzantium to the Holy Roman Empire and feature the famous Combat of the Thirty.
