Jousting
Knights jousted against each other and were watched by large audiences. They wore heavy armour to protect themselves.

Bear-Baiting
One of the most popular was bear baiting. A bear was tied by its legs to a post using a long chain and fierce dogs were sent on it. The dogs tried to tear out the bears throat while the bear tried to defend itself. The bear and dogs fought until the dogs were killed or the bear was fatally injured.

Cock-Fighting
Another cruel sport was cock-fighting. Two trained fighting cocks fought each other until one was killed or too injured to fight any longer.

Hunting
Hunting was another popular royal sport. It took place throughout the year except during the harsh winter months.

Other Sports
Other popular sports included archery, golf, wrestling, fencing, tennis and bowls. They also played fotebal which was like football today but played with a pigs bladder instead of a ball!

Indoor Games
Rich people played many games. They enjoyed playing chess, cards and dice games. They also enjoyed dancing.
