St Hallvard's Tournament, an international jousting competition, took place May 23 - 25, at the historic Akershus Fortress in Oslo, Norway. Ten jousters from three different countries participated in the competition, which included two sessions of jousting and two mounted melees each day. Joram van Essen, who was born in New Zealand, but who currently resides in the Netherlands, won both the jousting competition and the mounted melee competition, and therefore, he earned the title of tournament champion. Joram also won the Grand Tournament of Sankt Wendel in 2012. In both tournaments he was riding his trusty steed Zogo, a beautiful Murgese stallion.
