^{page 119 note 2} A Scandinavian work written between 1150 and 1200 (Speculum Regale or Konungs-Skuggsja, printed 1768)Google Scholar enjoins the knight ‘to exercise the feet so that your legs being extended they may stand fast in the stirrups, the heel a little lower than the toes’. A fifteenth-century Flemish tapestry at Zamora shows a mounted man whose stirrup is hung from the horse's collar, and his leg is extended almost at right angles to the body.

^{page 119 note 3} The above-mentioned Speculum Regale advises that the horse should be rolled in linen armour, especially about the head, and the reins are to be protected in the same fashion.
