In anger, an international joust

Last week, in anger, in 80 km from Gdynia, an international jousting tournament, and we did not fail to visit. In general, the joust is the logical culmination of a sort of triad:
1) The Battle of Grunwald.
2) The Siege of Malbork (the capital of the Teutonic Order).
3) The Knights Tournament in Anger (in the old castle of the Crusaders.)

Here they come together in mortal combat:



The tips of these mines are made of something pressed (the structure is very similar to the reeds) and nadpileny that God would not let nobody zashib. But vseravno zalet a splinter under the armor will not find it. In the end it was seen like one of the good knights face was covered with blood:



But as is the case in the dynamics:
