"Tournaments were organized by knights in medieval Europe that welcomed challengers from near and far. Jousting, the most well-known challenge, was sometimes accompanied by lesser known games such as the Black Death feast, where contestants would eat various food items, guessing which ones didn't carry the plague, and "Where's the pope!?", where the pope would be tied and stuffed in a sack and buried somewhere in the forest. Children often participated in the second game." (Nuttacon)
