22. "Annual Jousting Tournament" Calvert County Recreation Guide, jousting Tournament. http://calvert-county.com/joust.htm

Annual Jousting Tournament Held Annually on the Last Saturday in August Jousting has been a sport in Maryland since the 17th century. In 1962 it was declared the official state sport. The knights of Calvert County meet at high noon to compete on the lists at historic Christ Church on Broomes Island Road. No, it's not a bloody battle. The knights must catch three small rings on their lance while travelling at a full gallop. Charge, Sir Knight! And, occasionally, Charge, Fair Maid! The Calvert County Joust is an equal opportunity tournament. There is even a children's competition. (This was a practice session.) The History of The Last Saturday in August by Anne Whisman, Editor, Reprinted from an article in Calvert County Life, August 1980 It's always hot. It almost never rains. It's the day they hold the annual Calvert County Jousting Tournament on the grounds of Christ Church in Port Republic. Dinner used to cost 50 cents (at least in 1937). In 1938 it jumped to 60 cents. By 1941 it was 75 cents. Four years ago (1976) it was $4. This year (1980) they are wavering between $6 and $8. There used to be a ball afterward. There is no ball

24. What Is Jousting? Brief and Straightforward Guide What is jousting? http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-jousting.htm

What is Jousting? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Jousting is a medieval equestrian sport which was designed to demonstrate suitability and fitness for battle. Through the late 1500s, jousting was a very popular sport throughout Europe, and competitions were often well attended. The popularity of jousting declined after this point, although the sport is still practiced by modern fans, who have adapted it somewhat to make it safer. Jousting demonstrations can often be seen at large Renaissance fairs, and some organizations hold regular tournaments to display and hone their jousting skills. In medieval jousting, the goal was to unseat the opponent or to demonstrate the ability to kill from horseback. Most people associate jousting with tilting, a division of jousting in which knights ride directly towards each other carrying long lances. The knights attempt to knock each other from their horses with these lances, typically in three attempts. Other weapons can be used in jousting as well, including daggers, war axes, and swords; typically, the knights went through three cycles with each weapon before moving on to the next. The goal of medieval jousting was not to kill or even seriously injure the opponent, although this did happen. Often, fellow knights and members of the military would organize jousts among themselves to hone their skills or determine their champion. An ill-placed blow could result in injury or death, especially if a lance managed to penetrate a jouster's helmet. Jousts were typically watched by a crowd of nobles and others, and they could get quite raucous, often including other war games as well.

Religious conservatives, meanwhile, have launched a referendum drive to overturn a new law that they say will promote homosexuality in the schools. Both campaigns illustrate the frustrations and successes each side has experienced. During the past few years, gay rights advocates have persuaded the Democratic-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pass many laws expanding protections against discrimination and adding benefits and responsibilities for same-sex registered domestic partners. This year, Schwarzenegger signed seven of eight bills advocated by Equality California, a leading gay rights group.

History of Jousting One of the better known sports of the Renaissance period was the Tournament of the Horse which often included jousting. Most of the Faires have incorporated these action packed events into their entertainment. You may see dashing Knights clash at full gallop vying for royal favor. Spectators are urged by the Knight’s squires and medieval criers to support their champion. Although the origins are unsure, formalized jousting rose to the height of it’s popularity in Europe during the 1400’s. An off shoot of the war games ("Melees") staged by Knights on horseback and foot soldiers in open fields, jousting was conducted in colorfully decorated area designated by the nobles for spectator viewing. Initially these "jousts" served as a way for Knights to hone their fighting skills during times of peace, but quickly became a money making venture as the winning team could hold the losers for ranson accepting their horses and armor as payment. The numerous deaths spawned by these events led Popes and English Kings to ban jousting. Such bans did little to curtail the events which became a crowd pleasing attraction at market faires and

36. What Is Medieval Jousting? Medieval jousting is the state sport of Maryland; knights began jousting in America in 1821. http://kyky.essortment.com/medievaljoustin_rbje.htm

What is Medieval jousting? Medieval jousting is the state sport of Maryland; knights began jousting in America in 1821. Jousting began in 11th century France as a military exercise and soon spread throughout Europe. Despite Church opposition for its savagery and occassional state banishments jousting continued through the Middle Ages until the death of King Henry II of France from jousting injuries in 1599. Its revival, in a decidedly more humane form, occurred in Mount Solon, Virginia in 1821. Surely no sport in America has more romantic origins than jousting. A young Virginian maiden could not choose between the affections of two ardent suitors. Upon the advice of her uncle she decided to bestow her favor on the winner of a jousting contest. The site chosen for the joust was the Shenandoah Valleys spectacular Natural Chimneys for their resemblance to medieval castles. The two contestants were to ride at three rings suspended from arches 30 yards apart. The young knights practiced for weeks and on the day of the event a large crowd turned out to view the spectacle. Such a good time was had that it was decided to make the joust an annual event. From that day to this, on the third Saturday in August, the winning knight has earned the right to name and crown his Queen of Love and Beauty making the Mount Solon jousting tournament the oldest continually held sporting event in America.

37. Natural Chimneys - Upper Valley Regional Park Authority In addition to the Natural Chimneys Joust, the National jousting Hall Of Fame Joust is held each year at Natural Chimneys Regional Park on the 3rd Saturday http://www.uvrpa.org/specialevents.htm

Special Events at Natural Chimneys In addition to the Natural Chimneys Joust, the National Jousting Hall Of Fame Joust is held each year at Natural Chimneys Regional Park on the 3rd Saturday of June. Jousting -Older than the Kentucky Derby, older than baseballborn in the Middle Ages and nursed by chivalrythat's the story of jousting, a test of horsemanship, balance and marksmanship. To the command, "Charge, Sir Knight!", renewal of America's oldest consecutively run sporting event takes place the 3rd Saturday in August each year at Natural Chimneys, Mt. Solon, Virginia, in a revival of medieval pageantry. Originally a game in which death frequently claimed the loser, jousting has lost none of its flavor in its modern form, where knights in bright garb send their pointed lances through steel rings instead of through the breast plates of mail-clad foemen. Begun in 1821 to settle which of two local men should have a certain damsel for his wife, the Mt. Solon Tournament has been run each year on the third Saturday in August before crowds numbering in the thousands. Using lances, some of them a hundred years old, riders from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and, of course, Virginia test their skill at plucking three steel rings from crossbars while riding their chargers down a ninety yard course in not more than eight seconds. Jousting's birth is credited to a certain Frenchman, Geoffroi de Pruelli, who died in the same year that William the Conqueror defeated Harold at Hastings (1066) and became the first Norman King of England. Some authorities, however, doubt that any one man "invented" the sport; but the consensus is that it did originate in France in the 11th Century. From France the sport spread to Germany, thence England and Southern Europe. In 1821 it came to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in its modified, humane form.

38. Gath Of Baal National Jousting Tournament The Gath of Baal National jousting Tournament is held yearly at Scarborough Faire on Memorial Day weekend. http://freelancers.faire.net/gath.html

Gath of Baal National Combat Jousting Tournament Since 1993 Free Lancers have been allowed to hold the National Combat Jousting Tournament during Memorial Day Weekend in Waxahachie, Texas. The owners and staff of Scarborough Faire have graciously allowed us to use their arena to recreate a jousting tournament of the 16th century. The tournament lasts three days with full-contact jousting in three divisions, French style on Saturday, Northern Italian style on Sunday and Freestyle on Monday (freestyle jousts to be selected, by each pair of jousters, from the remaining five of seven different styles). This gives everyone the same advantages and disadvantages. Lots are drawn to see in which order each knight will joust. There are cash awards for the highest scores (last years prize moneys totaled over $3,000). Championships are awarded in all three divisions as well as a Grand Championship to the jouster with the highest cumulative score after the three days of competition. Competitors are required to follow these guidelines: Provide their own armour, reinforcing pieces and shield for full contact jousting in the French, Northern Italian and Freestyle according to the enclosed armour specifications.
