This new book features comprehensive findings on an array of genetic and historical evidence studies of medieval warhorses, written by archaeologists from the University of Exeter, East Anglia, University College Dublin, and other institutions. It documents new understandings of the horse in medieval times from DNA, bone records, amour descriptions/artifacts, and more to share a better idea of medieval horse development. The book focuses on European, mostly British, horses but it lends insight into horses of the time period for a greater understanding and picture of warhorses across the time period.
