Jousting, is a martial competition between two mounted knights. Though the first recorded tournament was staged in 1066, jousting did not gain in widespread popularity until the 14th century. It maintained its status as a popular European sport until the late 16th century. Points were scored by means of a strike of the lance on the other knight, or by some longer contact. The knights usually jousted in a best-out-of-three system. This helmet is a good example of the types in use in the late 15th century.
