Falconry in High Castle Towers
A knight caring for birds of prey inside a lofty stone tower reflects the noble art of medieval falconry. Castle towers provided elevated perches with clear airflow, ideal for housing valuable hunting falcons. Windows overlooking distant mountain ranges allowed falconers to observe flight conditions and train birds to hunt small game across surrounding territories.
Fascinating Facts About Medieval Birds of Prey
Falconry was known as the sport of kings and followed strict social rules regarding which bird species a person could own based on rank. Peregrine falcons were reserved for high-ranking nobles, while smaller hawks were trained by lower-ranking guards and knights. Trained raptors wore small leather hoods to keep them calm inside stone tower roosts until it was time to hunt.
