Knights of the Damned

25 Aug 2012  

The Knights of the Damned perform a fantastic, coloured costumed display of Medieval Jousting at its very best. Consisting of heroic mounted knights and their squires.

The tournament begins with fanfares and introductions and ends with the dramatic thundering of hooves as the knights attempt to unhorse each other in the 'JOUST'. Watch as the knights hone their skills by striking the man-shaped target, the quintain, and attempt to spear peasants heads off the ground at speed.

The show also boasts superbly choreographed foot fights with unmercilous swords, flaming fireballs on chains and unyielding quarterstaffs as well as the knights romantically accepting favours from the ladies and fighting for their honour.
