Hastilude: Literally a ‘spear game’. Often used as a generic form for tournaments, or a "mêlée" form where knights fought as integrated groups called conroi to practice their unit skills and to capture their opponents and thus capture their horses and equipment. Sir William Marshal was perhaps the pre-eminent tourneyer in the day of the hastilude, but after his death in the early 13th century the tournament became more and more regulated, becoming a very structured pageant by the 16th century when Henry VIII and Françis I of France held the Field of the Cloth of Gold, C. 1515.

Coffeebean's original submission was: A form of joust using special saddles which raised the knights nearly a foot higher, resulting in a shorter but more dangerous contest.

The above site has that as the definition for Hohenzeuggestech, so I asked her to re-submit.

I found this word in C. S. Lewis's The Horse and His Boy Chapter 4:

"That was my folly, Edmund," said Queen Susan, "of which I cry you mercy. Yet when he was with us in Narnia, truly this Prince bore himself in another fashion than he does now in Tashbaan. For I take you all to witness what marvellous feats he did in that great tournament and hastilude which our brother the High King made for him, and how meekly and courteously he consorted with us the space of seven days. But here, in his own city, he has shown another face."
