O cão em Portugal na Idade Média

Authors

Abstract

In this article we intend to deepen the study of the dog and its relationship with humans in the Portuguese context, between the 12th and 15th centuries. To this end, we propose to establish the medieval concept of casta, which preceded what we currently refer to as breed; to identify the different castas of medieval canids and their most distinctive characteristics (alão, sabujo, podengo, galgo, cáravo, mastim); and to understand the impact that these animals had on the most varied levels of society, including their use in the military context.
