Late medieval travelogues offer a glimpse into the daily reality of life in the era of the fechtbucher, which can give us useful insights into martial culture of the various estates during this period. The Travels of Leo of Rozmital, an account written by two knights in the entourage of a Czech nobleman during a long voyage around Christian Europe in the mid-1460s is a particularly interesting example of the genre. The records of these knights, one of whom was also a burgher from Nuremberg, provide examples of martial sports practiced by nobles, courtiers and burghers of this period, as well as fights with bandits on the roads. This blog post provides two examples of first-hand accounts of these sports, both taking place at the court of the Duke of Burgundy, Philip “the Good”: a grappling tournament and an ice-skating melee. From primary sources such as this one, we can learn helpful details of the practice of martial sports in the period, such as the rules of the grappling match depicted.
