Ah! But there is nothing there that indicates that the Stirling warrior was a jouster.

Warrior, most definitely. But from the kinds of wounds and scars he had, it's pretty obvious that he spend a fair chunk of his presumably twenty-five years hackin' and hewin'—and being hacked and hewed upon—but barring a broken off lance point buried in his left lung or something of that nature (and even that could have been received in open battle rather than in the lists), there is no real evidence that he received his lumps jousting in tournaments.

P. S. I've seen (on television) the skull of a medieval knight that had nearly been cut in two. The cut was more or less horizontal, slightly below his eyes, and went as far back as his mastoid bones. He'd obviously been struck on the bridge of the nose with a heavy broadsword or battle-axe. The commontator said that had it not been for his fairly stout helmet, the blow might have taken the top of his head completely off. The commentator also remarked that the wound may not have been instantly fatal because nothing immediately vital (such as his brain or spinal chord) had been destroyed. But he probably choked to death on his own blood.

Lovely. . . .
