<P class=MsoBodyText2><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The heraldic horse covering shown above, with it's diapered background, is reminiscent of a fragment of a horse covering, richly embroidered with the lions of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>, believed to have belonged to Edward III (Figure 13).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">? </SPAN>Few would doubt that Sir Geoffrey Luttrell might have bedecked his horse in this way for the tournament.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">? </SPAN>This being the case, it seems remarkable that there would be large heraldic embellishments on such things as a nobleman's horse, and not his wife!</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">?? </SPAN></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoBodyText2><FONT size=3><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive"><SPAN lang=EN-AU style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">It makes perfect sense that the horse would be decorated before the wife. The horse was ridden by the man in procession, like a billboard saying this is who I am. The wife would have been, maybe, seen at court where he would already be known. Most often she would be left at home. And hopefully she would not be as large a billboard. Also horses, especially trained war/tournament horses, were not easy to get and so were very valuable. Wives on the other hand were not considered to have value. If she died, you could get another one fairly easily. </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

<DIV> A very interesting article--a few great pictures of 13th century Spanish. This is worth a look for anyone wanting garb in theme for Steppes 12th Night.</DIV>
