Tudor Sports and Pastimes
Hunting with Hounds
Stag or boar, horns sounding at dawn, dogs unleashed in cry: the hunt was not leisure but spectacle. Kings proved their courage in the chase; nobles displayed wealth in horses and hounds. To kill a hart was to take part in an ancient ritual, half pagan, half royal theatre. The quarry fell; knives worked; the meat was divided. To hunt with Henry was to affirm loyalty with every gallop.
