dc.description This paper discusses the metallurgy of some jousting armours, and other aspects of their equipment. Armours for the joust with sharp lances (<i>scharfrennen</i>) were found to be sometimes thinner than armour for the joust of peace (<i>gestech</i>) but these examples were made of better metal. Appendices discuss the textile padding, which was an integral part of the protection offered by jousting armour, and some of the lances employed in the joust.<br><br>Este artículo analiza la metalurgia de algunos arneses de justa, y otros aspectos del equipo empleado. Las armaduras para la justa con lanzas afiladas (<i>scharfrennen</i>) han resultado ser en ocasiones más delgadas que las empleados para la ‘justa de paz’ (<i>gestech</i>), pero en este caso estaban realizadas con un metal mejor. Los apéndices analizan los acolchados textiles que eran parte integral de la protección que proporcionaba la armadura de justa, y también algunas de las lanzas empleadas.
