WHAT DOES DESTRIER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

destrier

Destrier

The destrier is the best-known war horse of the medieval era. It carried knights in battles, tournaments, and jousts. It was described by contemporary sources as the Great Horse, due to its significance. The word destrier is derived from the Vulgar Latin dextarius, meaning "right-sided". This may refer to it being led by the squire at the knight's right side or to the horse's gait,. While highly prized by knights and men-at-arms, the destrier was not very common. Most knights and mounted men-at-arms rode other war horses, such as coursers and rounceys. These three types of horse were often referred to generically as chargers.
