Knights in armor for a course with shield and
Two knights on horseback in armor for a course with shield (course de bouclier) 226 and a course with grill (course de gril) 227, a joust with a metal grill covering the body. The helmetless knight at left wears tunic in hatched pink in the same colors as his horse's caparison and even the high bouclier shield rising up from his saddle 226. The helmetless knight at right wears a tunic in black with gold stripes, to match his horse's colors. The flank of the horse blanket is decorated with heraldic blazon of a golden radiant sun. The metal grill on his breast is bright gold with another radiant sun 227. Copied from the Freydal of Maximilian I and the Turnierbuch of Jeremias Schemel, 16th century. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages, Vienna, 1802
