Owning a falcon, and the necessary falconer to go with it, was a status symbol throughout the middle ages. This book is the first broad history of English royal falconry in medieval times, a book that draws on forty years of research to provide a full description of the actual practice and conditions of the sport and of the role of falconers in the English royal household.Robin S. Oggins begins with a description of the birds of prey, their training, and the sport of falconry. He provides a short history of early falconry in western Europe and England, then explores in unprecedented detail royal falconry from the reign of William I to the death of Edward I in 1307. The author concludes with an overview of the place and importance of falconry in medieval life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731610501408,"sku":"NEW0300100582","price":81.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/816NAFlXeRL.jpg?v=1779434529","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-kings-and-their-hawks-falconry-in-medieval-england-0300100582","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
