Am I sad we don't remember the worlds greatest Jousters?
What!? How could you possibly forget that famous squire of the garrison of Toury castle? Spring of 1380? Gauvain Micaille? C'mon... he was mentioned in the Chronique du bon duc Loys de Bourbon for
out loud! That's like the Sports Illustrated of the mid to late 1300's. Hot magazine back then... anyhow, his famous quote? Went down in the history books it did and I can tell you that Joachim Cator thought very differently about good ol' Gauvain after that spear to the thigh he took...
'Is there among you any gentleman who for the love of his lady is willing to try with me some feat of arms? If there should be any such, here I am, quite ready to sally forth completely armed and mounted, to tilt three courses with the lance, to give three blows with the battle axe, and three strokes with the dagger. Now look, you English, if there be none among you in love.'
Man those were the days. But I digress. Carry on, er, sally forth all.
