Form 4 History students welcomed The Loxwood Joust into school this week. The knights enthralled pupils with details about armour and weapons, as well as tales from the battlefield.<\/p>\n
To everyone\u2019s delight, pupils were also allowed to handle the weapons and appreciate just what strength it must have taken to wield these weapons in real combat!<\/p>\n
Prior to the visit, the pupils had been researching medieval knights and the art of heraldry; they used this newly found knowledge to design individual coats of arms which were transferred onto fabric banners and presented to the knights of Loxwood Joust.<\/p>\n\n
They will be displayed at the Loxwood Joust, a spectacular medieval and jousting festival held locally every August, where they will line the entrance to the event.<\/p>\n\n
