====Jousting====
Jousting was an upscale, very expensive sport where warriors on horseback raced toward each other in full armor trying to use their lance to knock the other off his horse. It was a violent sport--[[Henry II of France|King Henry II]] of France was killed in a tournament in 1559, as were many lesser men. King Henry VIII was a champion; he finally retired from the lists after a hard fall left him unconscious for hours.<ref>Richard Barber and Juliet Barker,  ''Tournaments: Jousts, Chivalry and Pageants in the Middle Ages'' (Boydell Press, 1998) {{ISBN|0851157815}}</ref>
