Combat courtois entre plusieurs chevaliers par couples en champ clos. 2, record 3, French, - tournoi
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au 14e siècle, la transition s'opère de la lutte avec armes de guerre au combat réglé avec armes courtoises : l'épée rebattue (émoussée) sans pointe ni tranchant, et la masse de bois dur; la cuirasse matelassée de filasse; le heaume quadrillé de losanges pour mieux respirer; un matelas de paille, couvert d'une draperie armoriée, protégeant les jambes du cheval. [...] Dans ce sport professionnel, il ne s'agissait plus de tuer, mais de désarçonner et de «happer au frein» le cheval du vaincu, qui devait payer rançon. Au jour dit, appelants et défendants se rangent face à face, derrière deux cordes qui partagent le champ clos en son milieu : chaque tournoyeur est suivi de deux valets, chargés de le relever en cas de chute. [...] Le prix est donné au bal qui suit le souper : les juges-diseurs, le roi d'armes et le chevalier d'honneur s'arrêtent devant le chevalier reconnu «comme mieux frappant»; une dame lui remet le prix (bijou, épée, heaume), auquel s'ajoute la «manche honorable» détachée de sa robe. 3, record 3, French, - tournoi
