    I play a game called Mount & Blade Warband and my favourite class is light cavalry.
    It's set in the early mediaeval period and the best part about it, is you can fight other people on multiplayer servers.
    I always choose one handed sword and always get the most kills, however if I'm up against a heavily armoured player with a great Lance, I will die almost instantly if I'm on the recieving end of a charge.
    However, I can kill them if they miss.
    It's remarkable how much like reality that game is. But this video is absolutely fascinating stuff to see.

      it is known as a 'medieval war saddle' or 'bravante' saddle, based on originals in Wienna, wallace collection, Royal armouries, Arundel castle and others, as well as hundreds of depictions from 15th century art.
      this one is made by Joram van Essen 'historic saddles'
      by now there are several other producers. they are all custom made trees but not as expensive as you might assume, roughly the same (if not slightly less) as a descent new regular saddle

    This video would have seriously benefited from simpler film work. Two camera people all over the place is asking for distracting shots of each other and limiting one another from getting the correct shot. It shows (to me at least) that this caused an issue in edit.
    One camera on a wide shot still on a tripod would have been almost un-noticeable. The add to that one camera person on the lose (can be the same who sets up the tripod) and if you really want to go all out a go-pro on one rider or a top down camera rigged in the ceiling of the sand school would give a very clear demo of positions (without being as loud and spooky as a drone).
    That sounded like a big rude comment, genuinely love the content. I just had to say it because I felt I could have gotten more out of it if I could see it better. I don't want to insult your camera people at all, I am sure they will have had reasons and struggles on the day. Maybe just lacking the ability to speak up and say "hold on! Lets change angle!" or "Wait! Can you repeat that? I got the other guy in shot!" Mistakes like that happen to everyone, it's just a choice to correct them which would have helped.

    I think this is pretty theoretic, nice looking but... in the chaotic melee combat when horse and people collide with each other, I don't think that some one even with the grates level of skill would be able to use such complex maneuvers. Not to mention there would probably be no room for such maneuvers, I believe put in such conditions knight would just go into slice and dice mode. We all seen supper impressive Karate tricks, but when people are put into melee in MMA, it all ends ups in getting upper position using wrestling and punching or chocking each other from the top, nothing fancy. The same in sport fencing, the most straight forward moves are most efficient. I bet it was the same with mounted knight combat.

    unbelievable u can dominate with the lance if you ride far enough from the other rider you can reach him but he can't reach you with his sword so just debunk your whole video if you ride in the right amount of distance or turn your horse away right before you engage so the tip of your lance can reach the other rider with swords but he cant do nothing cause he cant reach u back taking advantage of reach and you could just run away turn around and come back with another charge when you in a straight line with the rider with sword turn your horse slightly to the side so your lance can reach the swordsman but the swordsman cant reach you it will be unbelievably stupid to ride with a lance in a straight line ot path that the other rider with sword is close enough that he can counter and reach you at the same time its all about how you control distance so use riding skilld to control distance and the swordsman in a horse back is at a major distance advantage cause the tip of lance is the only thing he's fighting and cant you feint with the lance to have and early parry than strike again with the lance ? and plus wouldn't be incredible difficult to get the timing right with a sword if the two rider are riding in full speed the lance will have the upper advantage cause you feint to bring the parry and then strike after ?
