EDITORS COMMENTS
Eglinton Tournament 3: The Earl's Procession to the Tilt-Yard (30 August 1839) This evocative image captures the grandeur and spectacle of the Eglinton Tournament of 1839, as the Earl of Eglinton and his retinue make their way to the tilt-yard. The Earl, resplendent in full medieval regalia, rides at the head of his esquires and retainers, setting the scene for the chivalric events that were to follow. The tournament, held on the grounds of Eglinton Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland, was a revival of medieval knightly traditions, complete with jousting, archery, and other martial displays. The Eglinton Tournament was a costly affair, with estimates suggesting that the Earl spent over £20,000 on the event. Despite the significant financial burden, the Earl's investment paid off in the form of lasting fame. The tournament attracted thousands of spectators, and the event was widely reported in the press both in Britain and abroad. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they gather to witness the chivalric displays. The tilt-yard, with its temporary grandstands and banners, is a hive of activity, as preparations for the tournament reach their climax. The scene is one of pageantry and grandeur, a fitting testament to the Earl's commitment to preserving the traditions of the medieval past. The Eglinton Tournament of 1839 was a significant moment in the revival of interest in medieval chivalry and the knightly ideals of courage, honor, and gallantry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of the tilt-yard and the pageantry of the medieval world came alive once more.
