Two knights in armor on horseback in a medieval tournament
Two knights in armor on horseback fighting a duel with swords in a medieval tourney. Both knights fight with long sword and targe or shield, cuirass or breastplate but no helmets, the most dangerous combat in a tournament. Copied from a woodcut by Jost Amman in Ritterliche Reutter Kunst, 1584. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages, Vienna, 1802
