RE: A Joust and Historical Days in Den Haag (Netherlands)

in #travelfeed5 years ago

Well... warm day... here in Netherlands, if the weather hits above 20 centigrade, it's all shorts and t-shirts!

With the weighting of the wooden swords, they do weight them to approximate a real sword. That means that thy are much thicker, or have additional weights. They are quite tiring to swing around!... and that's why they bruise like crazy!

Sort:  

Wearing those heavy costumes and using equipment on a par with the time period these people must have been exhausted by the end of the day.
