Tour Scotland video of medieval Knights doing battle on ancestry visit to the grounds of Scone Palace, Perthshire, Scotland. In Medieval Times a tournament was a series of armoured combats, fought as contests, in which a number of knights competed and the one that prevailed through the final round or who finished with the best record was declared the winner and awarded a prize, or purse of money. Tournaments kept the knight in excellent condition for the role he would need to play during medieval warfare. To gain Knighthood in Medieval times was a long and arduous task. Knighthood was not bestowed purely because a young man was the son of a noble. There were many steps to achieving a knighthood, requiring years of training.
