MEDIEVAL HELMET TOURNAMENT!

The Kabuto is a type of helmet used by Japanese warriors, later becoming an important part of the traditional Japanese armor worn by the samurai class. The one featured in the image is from the 15th century.

The Close Helmet was worn by knights in the late medieval era. Being a fully enclosing helmet with a pivoting visor. They were a popular choice for cavalry on the battlefield, along with a good pick for jousts.

Dynamic artwork from 100 years ago. I wonder if anyone has written an Escaflowne fanfic that involves jousting? Jousting with Guymelefs or the other exotic beast people ride on Gaea would be quite thrilling to behold.

StableMaster!Yang: Come on, Ruby. You'll be fine.

Ruby: (wearing full armor and on a horse) Yang, are you out of your mind?! This is how people get killed!

Yang: Pfft! Please! This is nothing! I joust all the time!

Ruby: You're also a beast in your own right!!! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE JOUSTING!!! You're not a knight!!!

Yang: Technicalities. You're literally going up against a newbie squire, Rubes. You can knock him off his horse easy.

Ruby: (ignoring Yang) When I said I wanted to be a knight, I didn't mean I wanted to joust!

Yang: Ugh! Fine! Do what you want. I have to get on my horse and get ready for my run. Good luck, sis! (smacks Crescent's flank and the horse gallops to the jousting arena)

Ruby: Whoa! Whoa! Yang! How could you?!

Yang: (trots over to where Ember is waiting patiently and adjusts her chest piece) Ready to go, big guy?

Princess!Blake: And what do you think you're doing?

Yang: I'm gonna joust.

Blake: No, you are most definitely not.

Yang: Yes, I most definitely am. I've been doing this for years, Blake. I can handle a new challenger.

Blake: Not when it's a knight that's been trying for my hand for over five years, Yang!

Yang: (pauses) ......Say again?

Blake: (looks to the side) Your opponent is Adam Taurus. He's one of the newly anointed knights in Sienna's platoon. Sienna finally ran out of excuses to not promote him. He's...very adamant about marrying me...to the point where suitors have gone missing as soon as he gets wind.

Yang: (holds Blake's hands) Blake, I'll be fine. I promise. (kisses Blake's fingers before mounting Ember) And when I get back, I have a surprise for you! (trots towards the jousting arena)

Blake: (bites her lip) Please, be safe.

Jousting, a renowned pastime among medieval English elites, captivated knights who wielded long lances atop powerful steeds. Often depicted in literature and film, these contests were a hallmark of chivalry and prowess. Yet, the quest for superior jousting horses led knights beyond England's borders, as revealed by a recent study.

Analysis of teeth from a medieval horse burial site near Westminster Abbey unveiled the extraordinary origins of these steeds. The cemetery, discovered three decades ago, now serves as a testament to the elite's reverence for their prized animals.
