In 1348, Henry Knighton, an Augustinian canon in Leicester who wrote a chronicle called Knighton's Leicester Chronicle, recorded that beautiful ladies from wealthy families and noble lineage would regularly take part in jousting competitions:

In these days a rumour and a great complaint arose among the people that when tournaments were held, in every place a company of ladies appeared . . . in the diverse and marvellous dress of a man, to the number of sometimes forty, sometimes fifty . . . in divided tunics, that is, one part of the one kind and the other of another kind, with small hoods and liripipes flying about the head . . . even having across their stomachs, below the middle, knives which they vulgarly called daggers placed in pouches from above. Thus they came, on excellent chargers or other horses splendidly adorned, to the place of the tournament. And in such manner they spent and wasted their riches and injured their bodies with abuses and ludicrous wantonness that the common voice of the people exclaimed.
