We often think about the Middle Ages as a period when people constantly worked their fingers to the bone and there was no time for play. And it’s true that without modern devices, a lot of the jobs were backbreaking and time-consuming. Life was tough in the Middle Ages but there was also plenty of fun, joy and laughter. A time when entertainment, physical skill and competition came together and the well-known adage “work hard, play hard” was never more appropriate. Let’s travel back in time to take a look at the sports enjoyed by the Medievals, keeping in mind that in the Middle Ages, they were a lot more violent and chaotic than those played today. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
