EDITORS COMMENTS
This 13th century image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts Konradin (Kunigund von Hohenstaufen), also known as Conradin or Conrad, the youngest son of Emperor Frederick II, engaging in the noble pastime of hawking. The historical photograph, believed to have been created during Konradin's reign between 1254 and 1268, reveals the young nobleman in regal attire, poised on horseback and holding a falcon on his gloved hand. Hawking, or falconry, was a popular pursuit among the European aristocracy during the Middle Ages. It was not only a form of hunting but also a symbol of power, wealth, and refinement. The falcon, a symbol of the emperor himself, perches majestically on Konradin's hand, its sharp eyes focused intently on the horizon, ready for the hunt. The image also showcases the intricate details of the period's clothing and armor. Konradin wears a richly decorated surcoat, a long-sleeved tunic worn over a shirt and hose, and a helmet adorned with a crest. His horse is also dressed in armor, a testament to the importance of both the rider and the mount in medieval warfare and hunting. The background of the photograph is filled with lush greenery, suggesting a serene and idyllic setting. The sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and elegance. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and pastimes of a medieval nobleman. It is a testament to the rich history and culture of the 13th century, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the art of hawking.
