The formal combat, arranged between Anthony WoodvilleAnthony Woodville, Lord ScalesAnthony Woodville, Lord Scales, and The Bastard of BurgundyThe Bastard of Burgundy in the summer of 1467 is one of the best documented of the late medieval forms of emprise, a form of chivalric theater fought with weapons of war before an international audience of nobles and social elites. While this particular event is familiar to scholars of European chivalry, the several accounts are rarely discussed in detail. This emprise permits a closer study of social structures, shared values and interests, and a common vocabulary of chivalric culture in the fifteenth century.
