The Tournament Gallery is one of the most impressive gallery displays onsite, giving you the opportunity to step far beyond any other reception or dinner experience. From uncontrolled beginnings, the tournament developed into a highly regulated and sophisticated sport with as many varieties as football. From the 15th century onwards special weapons and very specialised armour were required for the various types of tournaments and the Royal Armouries contains an unparalleled collection of these, exhibited in this light and airy setting. This gallery charts and interprets the development of the three major types of tournament fighting – the tourney, the joust and foot combat.
