Pas d’Armes

Knighthood & Chivalry DictionaryKnighthood & Chivalry Dictionary
A form of tournament Ã  plaisance where combatants met to exchange pleasantries and test their prowess against one another. Essentially a group of challenges, the pas generally produced no single winner, but the defenders often distributed prizes to the challengers. Contrast this with an emprise where the intent was to cause harm and emphasize prowess alone. See also THE BOOK OF THE TOURNAMENT or Chronique: The Journal of Chivalry #4 , #16, and the essay What is the Pas d'Armes .
