00:00At the gallop, the knight will attempt to strike the shield. If the knight strikes the outside edge of the shield, the quintain will spin, and a large weight will attach to the arm, and therefore hit the knight on the back of the head.
00:14But also, if the knight strikes the inside edge of the shield, the quintain will not spin, and therefore have seat at the ready.
00:23Also, Sir Michael, following the quintain, will be able to take the ring.
00:28So, first to test his skill at this most formidable opponent is Arlene Ruthercum.
00:34Sir Michael of Pitchfield.
00:40Excellent strike there.
00:43Can he secure a ring?
00:46Oh my Lord!
00:51Excellent strike at the quintain, and securing his ring.
00:56Or his right next to you, for Sir James of Kent.
01:01Into the gallop. Tremendous approach.
01:05Oh, he's useless!
01:08Useless!
01:11Can he get a ring?
01:14Beautifully taken.
01:17Off to the gallop, Normandy!
01:24Strike to the quintain.
01:27Can she get a ring?
01:30Can she get a ring?
01:34Here we are.
01:37Here we are.
01:40Oh, and a strike to the right knight.
01:50And another strike to the right knight.
01:54Launching early there, trying to catch Sir Michael.
01:57Out of the way.
02:00Oh, and a strike to Sir Michael.
02:06And it's a right one to the right knight.
02:08Zero on.
02:11Oh, and a stunning strike by Sir Michael of Pitchfield.
02:16Right now, only to stay in the zone.
02:28Sir Frederick, you need to stand forward.
02:37Woo!
02:40Sir Richard!
