Artist John Green has captured many thrilling moments of these demanding and often dangerous contests in realistic, ready-to-color illustrations.Over 40 detailed drawings, with accompanying captions, depict everything from the preparation of tournament horses to the mêlée, a mock battle in which two teams of horsemen met on an open field. Also portrayed are a knight challenging an opponent, a dying knight receiving last rites from a priest, a lavish tournament banquet, ladies of the court choosing a knight-of-honor, Henry VIII meeting Francis I of France (1520) on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and many more exciting moments.This treasury of well-researched drawings will appeal to coloring book fans of all ages as well as anyone interested in knights, weapons and armor, and other aspects of medieval life.
