Saints And Sinners On Horseback Volume 1

64,93€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In "Saints and Sinners on Horseback" Volume I, we meet saints, sinners, and their horses, mules, and donkeys on the road. Whether saint, sinner, or simply all too human, the medieval individual's connection to equids reflected relationships with other animals, the rest of humanity, and with the deity. Knowledge of horses permeated hagiographies and homilies, histories and biographies. Equids were recruited in commentaries on morality and Christian duty. In a world in which equids are not so readily encountered, "Saints and Sinners on Horseback" informs the modern reader about the essential part played by horses in medieval life, literature, and belief.

The Warhorse In England - 1272-1327

de Emma Louise Herbert-Davies

84,80€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The warhorse has long been emblematic of medieval chivalry and power, depicted in art, literature, and the grand narratives of knightly valor. Yet, behind these depictions lies a nuanced history that intertwines the fate of the warhorse with the social, political, and military developments of its time. This book, The Warhorse in England: 1272-1327, seeks to illuminate the warhorse's essential role during the reigns of Edward I and Edward II-an era marked by almost perpetual conflict and the zenith of cavalry use in English warfare. Drawing on an extensive range of primary sources, including previously unpublished army inventories, royal stable records, and medieval veterinary texts, this study goes beyond the warhorse's symbolic representation to examine its practical importance in military campaigns. It considers the full lifecycle of these animals, from breeding and training to deployment, and the toll that warfare exacted on their health. In doing so, it reveals not only the substantial investment of resources required to sustain warhorse populations but also the implications of their care on medieval administrative and logistical practices. This work also engages with a broader context, integrating perspectives from military history and animal studies to reevaluate how warhorses influenced the structure of armies and the experiences of those who relied upon them. By examining equine practices through meticulous analysis of financial records, army lists, and breeding documentation, this book provides fresh insights into medieval England's martial landscape and the interplay between human and animal agency.

 John Clark's groundbreaking work in medieval equestrian history has shaped and inspired generations of scholars, transforming our understanding of horses in the past.

Historical Practices In Horsemanship And Equestrian Sports

121,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 New things are forgotten old things - this rediscovery of the past is especially important in horsemanship and equestrian sports. Despite advances in sciences and technology, the physiologies and psychologies of the two principal agents, the equid and the human, have undergone relatively few changes since horse domestication. The studies collected in this volume outline such essential and recurring challenges in equestrianism as gender issues, equine identification, the use of hyperflexion and groundwork in training, as well as many others, from prehistory to this day.
