The Medieval Tournament: A Functional Sport of the Upper Class
By Stephen H. Hardy
Journal of Sport History, Vol. 1 (1974)
Synopsis: Sport has often both mirrored and conditioned many aspects of particular social classes; change in one has often effected change in the other. The tournament and the medieval upper class appear to have been related in this way. Thus a detailed consideration of the changes and various determinants of change in this medieval sport could be helpful in understanding the transformation of the most visible element of medieval society itself.
