Question 1 of 3
1. Question
In 1268, the Emperor Conradin’s tournament was cancelled – why?
Correct
Duke Ludwig had broken the code. The tournament was an integral part of the knightly code. On occasion it operated as a court of honour, a social court. If individuals were felt to lack the proper credentials and reputation they could be barred or disqualified, and often were.

Question 2 of 3
2. Question
Here’s a map. Have a look at the locations in red – why were they significant?
Correct
These five towns were designated as the only places in England where hastiludes could be held. They were designated as such by Richard I in a decree of 1194. Typically for the man who apparently swore he would sell London if he could find a buyer, he also set a fee. A Director of Tournaments was appointed, and a Collector of Fees.

Question 3 of 3
3. Question
Why is Geoffrey de Preuilly considered so famous?
Correct
Geoffrey of Preuilly was supposed to have invented the tournament, following a chronicle entry on 1062 in Tours, France. Historians really doubt that it was that simple, and suspect that it evolved in many places and many times, until by 1100 the melee was recognisable as an organised activity with rules.
