Hear the crack of lances splintering and the thunder of hooves as the Knights of Royal England return to the magnificent setting of Linlithgow Palace over the next two weekends. On Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July 2011 and again on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th July 2011, you can go along and cheer on your favourite knight as he challenges the other combatants in a sensational display of skill and bravery. The jousting is always so exciting. You never know which knight will win, but you do know that none of them likes losing!
As well as the jousting there will be brutal foot combat, instruction on how to be a medieval assassin and presentations about how a noble lady of the time would dress. Around the medieval camps you’ll be able to see how medieval weapons were made at a working forge, be amused by jugglers and jesters and discover how a knight dressed for battle.
