按照欧洲贵族的家谱追根溯源,他们的祖先据说都是跟随查理曼东征西战的日耳曼勇士,而后优秀的品种一代一代往下传。后来的考证却表明,所谓欧洲贵族历史悠久的血统只是一个美丽的传说。中世纪的医疗卫生水准低下,婴儿与孩童对疾病的抵抗能力低,死亡率高,即使是王子王孙也无法幸免。而以上战场为己任的贵族,更是比一般人多出一层死在战场上的危险。 Following the genealogy of the European aristocrats, their ancestors were said to have followed the Germanic warriors who fought Charlemagne eastward, and then the best breeds were passed down from generation to generation. Later research shows that the so-called European aristocracy has a long history of a beautiful legend. Medieval health care standards are low, infants and young children have low resistance to disease, high mortality, and even princes and grandchildren can not be spared. The aristocracy above the battlefield responsibility, more than the average person is more than a layer of death on the battlefield danger.
