Jousting is a medieval and renaissance martial game or hastilude between two combatants either on horse or on foot. [1] The joust became an iconic characteristic of the knight in Romantic medievalism. The term is derived from Old French joster, ultimately from Latin iuxtare "to approach, to meet".
Quintain was a game open to all, popular with young men of all social classes. While the use of horses aided in training for the joust, the game could be played on foot, using a wooden horse or on boats (popular in 12th-century London).
