Knights & warhorses by Andrew Ayton (military servive under the English
Aristocracy) avaliable from michael@heritageweb.com GBP11.50 worth a look

--------------------

Where in this world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing so patient. England's past has been borne on his back. All our history is his industry: we are his heirs, he is our inheritance. Ladies and gentlemen: The Horse! - Robert Duncan's "Tribute to the Horse"

Is this a reprint? We have this book in our collection. It is good for up to the 14thc. It was a comment in this book that started the whole "Spanish" (Italian) high school thread.

I tried reading it, but found it incredibly dry and boring.

I understand there is interesting info in it in regards to compensation by lords to their vassals for horses lost in battle, etc.

Just couldn't slog through it myself.
