Jousting and tournaments began to morph from serious military training into displays of skill and spectacle in the late 15th century when the emphasis shifted towards entertainment.
Medieval soldiers generally had a range of training that depended on their role and social status, with knights receiving extensive training while common soldiers had less structured preparation.
Selection for military roles in medieval armies often depended on social class: knights were usually aristocratic, while foot soldiers came from peasant backgrounds or local militias.
Pursuing a career in medieval studies requires dedication, often involving advanced degrees in history or archaeology, and a commitment to research, teaching, and publication.
