Steel and Steed is a rules set specifically for tournaments (grand melee, archery, jousting, etc).

But I also enjoy the movie with Robert Wagner. It is the only movie that I can remember where shields actually get battle damage (although unintentionally if I remember correctly).
The strips are lovely, I've read up through book 8 of the collected series with my son so far.
Speaking of the shields, when I was a kid, stationed in Germany in the 80s, we went to see a reenactment in Bavaria. There was a full military camp outside the castle, huge spectator stands, and full tilt jousting. The evil black knight kept a flail hidden under his saddle and would bash his foes with it while the reeve wasn't looking. In the end the good Bavarian knight came riding in and they unhorsed each other. During the ensuing melee they beat on the metal shields (with axes) so hard they went from convex to concave. Naturally we cheered the Black Knight just to be different (got some funny looks that day, let me tell you
)
In the end the Black Knight triumphed, took the crown, kicked the reeve over and made his escape. My son now has the wood shield my parents bought me that day, complete with all the scars from playing knights with it.
