Historical Evolution Of Horse Thorn

According to early spurs unearthed in England, spurs were already used by Roman regiments in the time of Julius Caesar. The Romans developed the use of spurs, which allowed soldiers to control their horses with their feet while fighting with weapons in their hands.
The earliest spurs were just sharp protrusion (as opposed to the cog-shaped shape used today), and bronze spurs of this type have been found in tombs in the second century BC in the West. There are still iron spurs in the British Museum, with silver inlays, which were used between the 11th and 13th centuries. According to relevant records, Genghis Khan's army also used similar spurs around 1200 AD.
France was probably the first country to use geared spurs, and there are records of similar spurs being used in England under Henry III. In the 14th century, these spurs gradually began to become popular. 
In 1302, at the Battle of the Golden Spurs, the French cavalry were defeated by the Flemings of Belgium, who humiliated the French knights by hanging their captured spurs in a church to celebrate their victory. During the Middle Ages, golden spurs were the symbol of knighthood, while the spurs used by would-be knights were silver. An important part of some medieval knightly demotion ceremonies was to cut off a knight's spurs with a knife to show that the knight had been relieved of the honor. 
The description of spurs can often be seen in novels about the life of European knights, including Scott's "Hero Ivanhoe" and Cervantes's "Don Quixote". "Robin Hood" also mentioned spurs, and also mentioned that spurs are a symbol of chivalry, despicable people do not deserve to use spurs. Many literary descriptions of beautiful men, especially soldiers, include spurs, and they are mentioned in the description of ASHLEY's attire in Gone With the Wind. According to Notre Dame de Paris, Esmeralda wanted to hear the spurs on Phoebus. Madame Bovary writes of the elder Bovary as a young man "with his spurs tinkling."
