message: While not a tournament in the true sense of the word, an early event occured in Worms 842, which possibly shows some of the tournament origins. From Ann Hyland, The Medieval Warhorse from Byzantium to the Crusades, UK: Grange Books, 1994, p 61: The precursor to the later tournaments was held at Worms in February 842 on the occasion of the Frankish king and the emperor meeting to confirm a treaty.  The games took the form of simulated charges, retreats and counter-charges, lances swinging in so disciplined a way that no one got hurt.  Might perhaps be a useful reference for discussion on  origins.Gwinva 16:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a module called The Medieval Tournament being offered as part of the MA in Medieval Studies at the University of Leeds. It is most likely the first university course to deal exclusively with the history of the tournament. Would an external link to the webpage be a useful link on this page?http://www.leeds.ac.uk/ims/news/news_tournament_module.html Leedsmedievalist (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph of the summary has quite a few issues that need to be discussed:
1.) It doesn't cite any sources.
2.) It's written awkwardly.
3.) It uses un-encyclopedic descriptions.
Take the passage, "Finally, it was celebrated for pure entertainment and one of these parties arranged in Valladolid by the Constable Don Álvaro de Luna, to which Don Juan II of Castilla came out to joust as an adventurer, the chronicle of that valid in Cap. LII."  That's sure to confuse readers. Then take, "The heralds and kings of arms were in charge of publicizing the tournament, and the herald passed from castle to castle, taking letters and posters to the most renowned champions and invited all the brave who were on the way." It sounds more like a description from a medieval fantasy novel than the summary of a subject from an encyclopedia. Any thoughts on how to improve this? P.S. What exactly is a "king of arms"?
