Destriers

/ˈdɛstriərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of destrier; multiple large, powerful medieval warhorses.

Etymology

Standard English plural of 'destrier,' adding '-s' to the singular form.

Kelly Says

The plural form reminds us that medieval warfare depended on these specialized horses—a single destrier cost as much as a small farm, so only wealthy nobles could afford to field cavalry with multiple warhorses.
