Fighting

There were plenty of ways of defense in the middle ages. There was Jousting, a fighting style that wasn't normally used in battle but for a competition with other knights and for entertainment. .Jousting is a fight between two  knights wearing all their armor and using long posts with a metal tip called a lance. The point of jousting is to knock other knight off of their horse with the lance. like I said before it is not used in combat very often and was mostly just a fun way to practice.

The main way to fight in the middle ages was a swordfight. A knight would have to know how to sword fight no matter what because that is their main way of protecting people and themselves. Their swords were metal blades with a sharp tip used as a weapon.When a swored was swung at a knight they would always try their best to block it with their shield to prvent injuries.
