Medieval Falconry with Yannis Hadjinicolaou

In the Middle Ages, falconry was one of the most popular pastimes across the known world. More than just a pleasant diversion in the countryside, it was a way to show status, education, sophistication, and leadership. This week on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with Yannis Hadjinicolaou about why falconry was so widely beloved, and such a popular metaphor for both love and power.
Yannis Hadjinicolaou is a Research Assistant at the University of Bonn, where he works on art history. His new book is The Art of Medieval Falconry.
The creator and host of The Medieval Podcast is Danièle Cybulskie.
