This led to the setting aside of extensive areas as deer forest. Deer forest was not necessarily wooded – 'forest' meant only an area reserved for hunting. Later, the privilege was extended to the aristocracy: Hamilton was the seat of an earl. This late-17th century stag hunt, with horse and hounds, is shown taking place next to farmland. However, it is more likely that it would have happened on land dedicated to hunting. Resource pack   1     2     3     4     5
