Enrique IV of Castile - la gineta & la brida

 Salvete Omnes,

long time ago I copied the image of Enrique (Henry) of Castilla (Castile), as his mounted image was picture perfect cavalier riding la gineta or in the Spanish Moorish fashion, with short, wide stirrups and long lance.
Looking at the images of Enrique I came across the photos of the stained glass window from el Alcazar (royal castle) of Segovia. 

.. and some more images of this king from miniature.

.and for comparison, also from Segovia - a knight riding la brida (long stirrups), astride his armored horse wielding a sword

in both images the mounted knights are armored with plate armor
.

kings coats of arms from the Segovia cathedral

later, posthumous image of the king

Valete
