The articles examine equine representation in medieval chronicles, breeding and perceptions of mares in medieval France, the ceremonial role of horses in Tudor coronations, the historiography of the Royal Mares, the long-term history and preservation of the Cretan horse, the social roles of mares in free-roaming horse bands, and the continuing relevance of horse heritage through UNESCO intangible cultural heritage frameworks. Collectively, these contributions demonstrate the importance of horses in shaping human societies, identities, rituals, and heritage narratives from the medieval period to the present.

ISSN 2786-3182 

Editors-in-Chief: Anastasija Ropa, Miriam A. Bibby 

This issue offers an interdisciplinary examination of the cultural, literary, historical, and visual significance of horses and human–animal relations across Byzantine, medieval European, Persian, and nineteenth-century transregional contexts. The contributions explore animal agency in Byzantine literature, equine representation in medieval vernacular texts, the artistic and travel experience of Edward Troye in the Holy Land, and European perceptions of Persian horses across time. Together, the articles demonstrate how equine studies can deepen understanding of authorship, mobility, cross-cultural exchange, artistic production, and the historical meanings attached to animals.
