This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a unique introduction to the most topical issues, advances, and challenges in medieval horse history. Medievalists who have a long-standing interest in horse history, as well as those seeking to widen their understanding of horses in medieval society will find here informed and comprehensive treatment of chapters from disciplines as diverse as archaeology, legal, economic and military history, urban and rural history, art and literature. The themes range from case studies of saddles and bridles, to hippiatric treatises, to the medieval origins of dressage literary studies. It shows the ubiquitous – and often ambiguous – role of the horse in medieval culture, where it was simultaneously a treasured animal and a means of transport, a military machine and a loyal companion. The contributors, many of whom have practical knowledge of horses, are drawn from established and budding scholars working in their areas of expertise.

Book Synopsis Micro Middle Ages by : Paul Edward Dutton
Download or read book Micro Middle Ages written by Paul Edward Dutton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro Middle Ages brings together five microhistorical case studies focusing on small or seemingly inconsequential evidence that leads to broader conclusions about medieval history and the way we do and understand history in general. Paul Dutton provides an overview of microhistorical approaches and theorizes about its use in pre-modern history. As opposed to studying history “from above” or history “from below,” Dutton shows the advantages for historians of doing history “from the inside out,” starting from some single, overlooked, but potentially knowable thing, delving deep inside, and then reattaching it to its time and place. Such an approach has one abiding advantage: its insistence on being grounded in the particularity of the evidence. The book highlights what the microhistorical is, its conceptual and practical challenges. Dutton argues that the attention to the micro has always been with us and is a constitutive, cognitive part of who we are as human beings.

Book Synopsis Historical Practices in Horsemanship and Equestrian Sports by : Timothy Dawson
Download or read book Historical Practices in Horsemanship and Equestrian Sports written by Timothy Dawson and published by Trivent Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Men of the Shires by : James Gallimore
Download or read book Men of the Shires written by James Gallimore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honest Tom, Derbyshire Hero and Merryman - who or what were they ? Similarly, what do we know of Sweet William, Wax-work and King Tom; not forgetting Dumpling and Mr. Harrison's Old Bumper ! ? Others had names such as Ploughboy, Drayman and Waggoner - and here we have our clue; all of them were horses! More specifically, they were all heavy horses - of the type which became known as Shires. The long breeding history of the Shire horse goes back more the 250 years - by some accounts to the time of the somewhat mysterious Mr. Hood of Leicestershire and his Packington Blind Horse, but there is much more to this. Some facts can never be known, including how much the Great War Horse of the medieval period, or horses imported at various times from present-day Belgium and the Netherlands, may have contributed to the ancestry of what is presumed to be a very English horse breed. 'Men of the Shires' is a unique resource, providing an insight into the mid-eighteenth century world of the owners and breeders of heavy horses who shaped what became the Shire horse breed. Research by the author has revealed new information about the earliest-known of these named horses, and the men of the English Midland shire counties who were their owners and breeders. Robert Bakewell, the agriculturalist is celebrated as a pioneer who used selective breeding methods to improve the quality of sheep, but also of cattle and horses. He had a significant role to play as a breeder and owner of the evolving Shire horse. There were however, many other 'Shire men' who made an important early contribution to the development of the Shire horse breed. 'Men of the Shires' give a detailed account of their work which is little known or unrecognised. The previously unknown role of Samuel Gallimore is also described. This book (produced with a foreword by the Shire Horse Society) is complementary to 'The Shire Horse', the definitive work on the Shire horse, commissioned by the Shire Horse Society, and written by Keith Chivers in 1976. 'Men of the Shires' covers the earliest period of Shire horse history using material not easily accessible to Keith Chivers, therefore providing information not included either in his book, or in the first stud-book of the Shire Horse Society (then called the English Cart-Horse Society), published in 1880. This first stud-book, containing the pedigrees of stallions foaled prior to 1877, was in effect written more than 100 years too late. It inevitably has gaps and errors, as those who produced it will have been fully aware. The author of 'Men of the Shires' uses information provided by newspapers which were published during the lifetime of the horses, and of the men who bred, owned and advertised them. These sources may also contain errors such as miss-spellings and exaggerated statements by stallion owners, but go some way towards corroborating information given in the first stud-book, as well as filling in gaps and providing corrections. 'Cover' advertisements i.e. notifications by owners of heavy horses of the Shire type that their stallions were available at stud, first began to appear in about 1750, providing the earliest written evidence in the breeding history of the Shire horse. 'Men of the Shires', meticulously researched, uses this material to document the development of the Shire horse from this early period.
Book Synopsis Power and Pleasure by : Hugh M. Thomas
Download or read book Power and Pleasure written by Hugh M. Thomas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although King John is remembered for his political and military failures, he also resided over a magnificent court. Power and Pleasure reconstructs life at the court of King John and explores how his court produced both pleasure and soft power. Much work exists on courts of the late medieval and early modern periods, but the jump in record keeping under John allows a detailed reconstruction of court life for an earlier period. Power and Pleasure: Court Life under King John, 1199-1216 examines the many facets of John's court, exploring hunting, feasting, castles, landscapes, material luxury, chivalry, sexual coercion, and religious activities. It explains how John mishandled his use of soft power, just as he failed to exploit his financial and military advantages, and why he received so little political benefit from his magnificent court. John's court is viewed in comparison to other courts of the time, and in previous and subsequent centuries.
