Jousting

There is one major difference and similarity in the movie version of A Knight’s Tale and the research I did about the Medieval era. Both versions present feudalism as a big aspect in the Medieval era. Both the movie version and research I’ve done show how the Nobles are better because they are born into an higher estate and have plenty of money unlike the peasants. Both the movie and the Medieval peasants show how they are treated poorly and how they cannot participate in many activities because…

1. This analogy compares Wall Street to a war zone. While the game “Liar’s Poker” gives a person the feel of trading so does jousting give someone the feel for war. Although a game and jousting aren’t as extreme as the reality of trading and war it still helps to mirror the idea of each. The prevailing point of Lewis’s story 2. Since most people are familiar with the environment of the work place Lewis is describing the imagery and description he uses is key. He uses a piece of very vivid…

colors of orange and blue and both knights are bearing armor from head to toe. Nonetheless, both knights use a rounded spear held straight at the opponent the horse and the knight collide with their Lance and the leading one to fall off loses.

dated back hundreds, if not thousands of years (Dark Knight Armory). The earliest clubs and bludgeons, with rocks mounted on top, are considered to be types of maces (Dark Knight Armory). The mace became popular in the twelfth century and was used in jousting both through the medieval ages and the renaissance (Medieval Middle Ages). It was both used as a close contact weapon, and also on horseback (Medieval Life). The mace was the first weapon designed to kill humans, instead of being used to…

Bryan High School’s senior English class watched is A Knights Tale. This film showed the students what it was like in the medieval time period. This was a time for both the nobles and peasants to come together and enjoy the same entertainment of jousting as a group. Though the nobles would get the best seats, both classes would have a lot of fun. It also gives insight on…

named William Thatcher, a young squire named William Thatcher, who enters into a journey of becoming a Knight. The call to adventure seemed very interesting to me. When William Thatcher found his knight, Sir Ector, dead with only one joust left in a jousting tournament, the call is to one of the squires to take Sir Ector’s spot in the tournament. This is a call to adventure to Will because he thinks this is a chance to “change his stars” as these three words are said in the movie numerous times.…

To become a knight, these young men had to go through many years of training and education from being a page, squire, and then to a full knight. Knights during the…

Knight’s Tale”, William Thatcher was a peasant. He was not of noble birth but still jousted as knight anyways. Since he was not of noble birth, he was technically not eligible to joust. Only knights and people of noble birth were allowed to compete in jousting competitions. That is the reason why William had to pretend to be a knight in order to joust. When the truth came out about William’s origins, he was arrested because he had pretended to be a knight when in actuality he was a peasant. Not…
