After the introduction, one of the ‘games’ the knights did was running the ring.
The riders rode down the line with a lance.
A ‘squire’ held the ring in his hand.
The goal of the run was to end up with a ring on the lance.
Interesting stuff when looking up info:
The Medieval Tournament by R. Coltman Clephan said the lance was 10 ft 7 inches. That’d be fun to scale down. Also according to the book, Running The Ring was a later form of the quintain.
The RoundTable Productions website said the quintain was a training tool for a jousting knight.

All of these jousting posts are so cool! This game in particular would be fun in mini scale- if I ever end up creating a miniature version of this, could I use these pictures in my documentation? Thank you so much for sharing!
