The Horse During the Middle Ages

The Importance Of the horse during
the middle ages. especially in the cru
sades and in the tournaments which
followed in the wake of the crusades,
is significant. Fully half the glamor
and romance that surrounded the
knight belonged to che horse. for with
out the horse those daring deeds in be-
half Of the weak and suffering had
never been done. The horse. however,
has had his reward, for the best fea-
ture of the middle age, outside the
church, is closely identified with his
name, lasting traces of which are seen
in the noble word "chivalry."
