Monarchs of Renaissance Europe needed large numbers of horses: for ceremonies, travel, tournaments, gifts, and more. In particular, Philip II sought to increase the number and quality of horses in Spain, due in part to the court’s move to Madrid in 1561 and its elaborate ceremony. To help supply these horses and ensure their quality, the king created a new institution, the Royal Stables in Córdoba. The stables in Madrid and Córdoba required complex infrastructure to sustain them, from local artisans to an international network of horses.

Ms. Martin is an adjunct instructor in the College of Science and Humanities at Husson University and a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Notre Dame. She researches early modern Spanish science and medicine, with a general interest in how human beings engage and define the natural world and their place within it. As the 2019 Fraser Barron scholar, Ms. Martin will present findings from research undertaken with this scholarship, which continued her investigation of equestrian culture and medicine during the Spanish Renaissance.
