Feasts and tournaments at the royal court of Edward III

Explore the exuberant displays of the 14th century filled with extravagant feasting, exciting tournaments, and chivalric display demonstrating the wealth and might of the crown.

Euan Roger, collections specialist in medieval records at The National Archives, will bring to life grand parties – including costumed entertainers, lavish robes, chivalric mottos and an ill-fated attempt to bring King Arthur’s Round Table to Windsor Castle – and the wider culture of the royal court.

Join us for our three-part series, The story of a century: 14th century. Power, plague and warfare.
