Echoing Hooves: Studies on Horses and Their Effects on Medieval Societies
Anastasija Ropa, Timothy George Dawson
"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."in Brill
