I want to do it a legimate way
Do caravan escorting quests. The last I did paid 3000-6000 each depending on distance, you are paid on arrival so you wont have to go back to the origin town to get paid and you will not be bothered most times unless you must cross hostile territory or you have only 10 weak soldiers on your party.
The only real downside is that you must cross half the map to do the quest, which is not that bad because usually there is another quest close by to escort a caravan to a region close to your nation
For example in one of my runs I went from Lisbon in Portugal to Constantinople, then I got an escort quest at that very city with the destination set to Barcelona in Spain. Pretty close and got 9K total from both runs
Do not be fooled by the distance!! It is by far the fastest way to earn money I found at early game and with close to zero setup costs. All you need is enough troops to survive a bandit attack and by the time you go to the other side of europe and back you have earned at least 6k while in the arena or with an enterprise you get a LOT less.
The only other fast way to earn money is tournaments, but that is an unreliable money source because there aren't always tournaments close by and early game it can be hard to win them (not impossible, but harder than when you are at level 30 or up)

A great way to get more money on caravan escort missions is to trade a bit yourself. Buy cheap and sell at a high price. Some core items to profit on is Iron, salt, furs and linen.
Iron is cheap all over Northern Europe, including Poland and Hungary. Sell it in Spain, Italy or Middle East. Depending on your trade skill, you can sometimes get it as cheap as 29 gold. I never sell below 300, even if the nominal price is 264. Highest price I've gotten is around 360.
Salt is cheapest in Poland and the Holy Lands/North Africa. Prices can be as low as under 50, though I usually buy all under 120. Nominal price is 255, and you can sell all over Western Europe/Turkey/Balkans. Highest price I've gotten is less than 300.
Furs are cheap in Bulgaria, North of the Carpathians(Vladimir Rus) and in Lithuania and Northern Russia. Also Morocco. Can sometimes be lower than 50. Nominal price is 391. Sell all over Europe and Holy lands/Egypt. I rarely sell below 400.
Linen is cheap in the Baltic/Teutonic Order lands. Less profit margin here. I buy all below 170. Best prices are in the Holy lands, where you can get the nominal of 250+.
As for tournaments, a key to early success is companions. If the town is empty when there is a tournament, your companions will join in to fill the empty places. If you are alone, some random knights will fill the empty ranks. Since they are well armoured, they're tough to beat early on. If you manage to have 6 companions early on, there will be only 1 place filled with a knight, and the important part is winning most of the bouts. If you win 6 of your 7 bouts, you often get the price.
PS. If you want to try escort missions/trading, try getting horses for as many of your companions as you can. Remember that pack horses in your inventory help with speed if you carry a heavy load.

As upgraded as their horses are, they can't turn very well when they are charging full speed at you. So you just make them charge past you and you slash at their horse.

It doesn't matter.
Lords in tournaments always try to charge you with a lance, so if you go around them they will never hit you.
You have three options in one vs one tournaments:
- IF he has a lance use a spear/bow and hit his horse from as far as possible, going in circles around him so he can't hit you with his lance;
- Also if he has a lance, equip your sword and stick to his side. He won't be able to hit you with his lance at point blank and he won't change to his sword either unless his lance breaks for some reason;
- If he has NO lance (maybe an axe, a few lords and kings use axes) you are set for a victory. Couch lance his face or snipe it with a bow and it's an easy victory. Every time I see a lord with an axe in tournaments my eyes turn into dollar signs just like in the cartoons xD
