medieval games
From the few references to this on the internet, I can't visualise what it amounts to. Here's the context.
"Os jogos de destreza e de luta, como arremessar a lança, a barra ou a espada, **saltar de corredilhas** ou correr, eram muito populares e podiam ser jogados a pé ou a cavalo e praticados por quase todos."
Any ideas gratefully received.

A child's game with medieaval origins
I suspect there is no translation in English so probably better to paraphrase, explaining as best as poss.
Note from asker:
| The way I read the context, Sue, is that this isn't a children's game but a game or sport for adults. No nearer to puzzling out what it is though. |
