Examples of TOURNEY in a Sentence
Tourney, the true form of jousting, is open combat between large groups of people in fields — basically, a mock battle, they just laid into each other with blunted weapons, which is another reason we think he might be a knight, because none of the wounds to him are caused by sharp weapons. They're all caused by blunt-force trauma.
