Tournaments began as rougher, less “gentlemanly” affairs in which competitors rode against each other with lances and then proceeded to fight with close-quarters weapons ahorse or on foot.

The straggling procession was well worn out by two days of long, hard marching afoot and ahorse, and most of the animals were foot-sore.

From appearances, no one ahorse had left that gorge before by that route; probably no one would again.
