| Philipped Willaume (at left) and Graham Turner (at right) smash it up at the Tower of London, September 1st, 2007. This was part of the "Tournament at the Tower" in which Armourer-Jouster and Historic Enterprises co-owner Jeffrey Hedgecock participated, but unfortunately was only able to participate in the first show, due to a hand injury sustained in a hard strike on Order of the Crescent team-mate Steve Mallet, in his third course. The jousting at the Tower was the most intense yet seen in England, featuring a 40 metre long 6 foot high solid planked tilt, the first ever used in a major modern jousting event. Several jousters sustained light injuries due to the force of impacts caused by the speed of the horses and near direct angle of the lance strikes. Other jousters participating included Toby Capwell, Jason Kingsley, Sean George and Mark Griffin. |
