Petržalka (; german: Engerau / Audorf; hu, Pozsonyligetfalu) is the largest borough of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Situated on the right bank of the river Danube, the area shares a land border with Austria, and is home to around 100,000 people. Names and etymology The German name of the village ''Engerau'' (1654) derives from the ethnic name of Hungarians and comes from older placenames ''Mogorsciget'' ("Hungarian Island", 1225) and ''Ungerau'' ("Hungarian floodplain", 1509). The Hungarian name, ''Ligetfalva'', (later Pozsonyligetfalu, literally "parkland village") originates from the 1860s.

Hastilude
Hastilude is a generic term used in the Middle Ages to refer to many kinds of martial games. The word comes from the Latin ''hastiludium'', literally "lance game". By the 14th century, the term usually excluded tournaments and was used to describe the other games collectively; this seems to have coincided with the increasing preference for ritualistic and individualistic games over the traditional mêlée style. Today, the most well-known of the hastiludes are the tournament, or ''tourney'', and the joust, but over the medieval period a number of other games and sports developed, which differed in popularity and rules from area to area, and from period to period. Distinction was made between the different types by contemporaries in their description, laws, prohibitions, and customs. Types of hastiludes Joust In contrast to the tournament, which comprised teams of large numbers ranging over large tracts of land, the joust was fought between two individuals on horseback, ...
