Well, you know what I picture when I think of the King's dogs. By elimination, my choices are Pork Pockets, Jalapeno Poppers and Stuffed Spuds. With fried ice cream for dessert. Sated, I go to seek my knight in shining armor. The jousting event is presided over by King Henry and his court.
Subjects fill the seats and spill over onto the hillside.
As the jousters are announced, they parade around the arena two at a time on their prancing steeds. Both man and beast are dressed in full armor. Lances forward, the knights gallop toward each other. The object of the sport is, of course, to disable your opponent. We cheer for our favorite rider to knock the other fully armored rider off his steed.
