António Oliveira, also known as Anton Stark is a PhD student at the University of Coimbra, where he is studying late medieval Portuguese arms and armour. He’s a working on a project titled ‘The Harness in Portugal: 1370-1495’ and recently presented a part of his work on jousting in Lisbon at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds. In this episode, we discuss his findings on the Rua Nova in Lisbon and its implications for 15th century jousting in Portugal - including an exciting theory regarding the birth of the tilt or barrier for jousting in this unique street.
