Introduction: Of horses and humans in the medieval world / Anastasija Ropa -- Horses as status indicators in Wolfram's Parzival / Anna-Lena Lange -- The role of the horse in Tangut Society / Romain Lefebvre -- "Hrafn ok Sleipnir, hestar �ag�tir" : horses of the medieval north / Rebecca Henderson -- City of the cavalrymen and house of the rider : 'landscaped hippodromes' and stable-palaces in Mamluk Cairo / Agn�es Carayon -- Travel in the Middle English 'matter of England' romances, and the changing significations of horses and horsemanship / John C. Ford -- Information of Middle Byzantine hagiographical texts about equids / Alexia-Foteini Stamouli -- Dead horses in Arthurian romance (and Beyond) / Luise Borek -- Horse descriptions in the unedited prose Rinaldo da Montalbano (Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana MS Pluteus 42, codex 37) / Gloria Allaire -- Vgetius, Arrian and the battlefield cavalry formations of medieval Europe / J�urg Gassmann -- Hunting, jousting, and fighting on horseback according to King Jo�ao I and King Duarte of Portugal / Ana Maria S.A. Rodrigues -- The typology of horses in Burgundian chronicles of the fifteenth century / Lo�is Forster -- The origin of the horse collar / Gail Brownrigg -- Get off your high horse : an examination of changes in lorinery and equitation in the Irish early medieval period AD 400 to 700 / Rena Maguire -- Unbridled horses and knights errant / Gavina Cherchi -- Conclusion: Gendering horse riders in medieval romance and modern racing media / Anastasija Ropa.
Summary: "Saying that horses shaped the medieval world - and the way we see it today - is hardly an exaggeration. Why else do we imagine a medieval knight - or a nomadic warrior - on horseback? Why do we use such metaphors as "unbridled" or "bearing a yoke" in our daily language? Studies of medieval horses and horsemanship are increasingly popular, but they often focus on a single aspect of equestrianism or a single culture. In this book, you will find information about both elite and humble working equines, about the ideology and practicalities of medieval horsemanship across different countries, from Iceland to China"-- Provided by publisher.
