Numerous broken ribs, other injuries lead to medieval knight theory.
Tourney jousting was not the single combat of movies, said Andy Boucher, of Headland Archaeology.
“’Tourney, the true form of jousting, is open combat between large groups of people in fields — basically, a mock battle,’ Boucher said. ‘They just laid into each other with blunted weapons, which is another reason we think he might be a knight, because none of the wounds to him are caused by sharp weapons. They're all caused by blunt-force trauma.’"
