Animaux Medievaux

Animaux Medievaux

En 1386, à Falaise, en Normandie, une truie mal surveillée provoque un drame en dévorant un nourrisson dans son berceau. Elle est capturée et jetée en prison, comme tout criminel, homme ou femme, l’aurait été. Au tribunal, le procès dure neuf jours. Le deffendeur de l’animal se montre peu efficace devant l’énormité du crime. Le juge déclare la truie coupable d’infanticide et la condamne à être suppliciée et à mourir sur l’échafaud. Au jour dit, vêtue d’habits d’homme, la truie est traînée à travers la ville jusqu’à l’échafaud, devant une foule nombreuse, composée en partie d’autres porcs, ses congénères. Le bourreau lui fait subir les mêmes mutilations qu’elle a infligées au petit enfant qu’elle a tué : il lui coupe le groin et lui entaille la cuisse. Puis il la coiffe d’un masque humain et, toujours devant la foule en émoi, il la pend par les jarrets à une fourche de bois jusqu’à ce que mort s’ensuive. Selon la coutume, le corps de la truie criminelle est ensuite traîné à nouveau sur la place. Enfin, ses restes sont dépecés et brûlés, en signe d’infamie.

Medieval Horse Guild

Medieval Horse Guild

The Medieval Horse Guild is a group of horsemen and horsewomen who occasionally cast off the trappings of modern life and cloak themselves in the pageantry of the Medieval Period. As a group they engage in a variety of activities ranging from the study of the techniques of horsemanship in the Middle Ages to participating in parades and battle recreations.In parades, the Horse Guild attempts to provide a colorful spectacle which will delight the parade onlookers. Members are encouraged to make their own medieval costumes and armor as well as tack for their mounts that is appropriate to the period being portrayed.The Horse Guild is affiliated with other, unmounted, medievalist groups, notably the Markland Medieval Mercenary Militia. Together, they participate in recreations of famous historical battles.Equestrian games are a popular activity of the Horse Guild. These are modern adaptations of the medieval equestrian games used to instill in the young knights the skills they would need to carry into battle. The modern versions of the games are carefully designed for the safety of both horse and rider but still serve the same purpose that they served for the knights; riding skill and confidence and a feeling of cooperation between man and horse that is essential for the enjoyment of horseback riding.

Medieval Aberdeen Project

The Environment of Medieval Aberdeen Project

Environment is a very wide term that we all use today but might be hard-pressed to explain. Weather, climate, global warming, pollution, protection of animals and habitats, conservation of natural resources and of the heritage might all spring to mind; while living conditions and family background might also feature in our definition.In discovering information about past environments, archaeology and historical archives are valuable resources. In Scotland, Aberdeen is unique in possessing archaeological remains of medieval date alongside preserved Council Registers dating back to 1398.

The Environment of Medieval Aberdeen Project began in 2001 with the aim of using such resources to enhance knowledge of the city and its residents between the 12th and the 17th centuries.

medieval trees

Medieval trees

Medieval trees of virtues and vices depicted a spectrum of human qualities, from the basest earthliness (capital vices) to heavenly righteousness (cardinal virtues). They provided a structure in which monks could interpret and contemplate the associations between each abstraction. In the trees of Beinecke MS 416, chief virtues and vices are linked to subordinate traits, which make explicit the connections between various good and evil qualities. In this framework, monks learned to associate minor sins with greater vices and good qualities with principal virtues.
The seven clusters of fruit on the tree of virtues and tree of vices have a biblical origin: the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit found in Galatians 5.22. In our diagrams the fruits and branches of the tree of virtues point to toward Heaven, while the withering branches of the tree of vices droop toward Hell.

Medieval Hawk

Medieval Hawk

The hawk has great courage in a small body; its determination arms it better than its claws do. It is called a robber bird because it greedily snatches food from other birds. The hawk is known as a harsh parent, refusing to feed its young when they are able to fly, but rather beating them with its wings to drive them out of the nest. This is done to teach them to catch prey while they are still young, so that they will not become lazy when they are adults. There are two kinds of hawks: wild hawks, which catch and eat domestic birds; and tame hawks, which return the wild birds they catch to their master. When its feathers become old, the hawk heats its wings in a warm wind to loosen the feathers and make them fall out; if there is no warm wind, the hawk beats its wings to heat them.
