El segundo es el depíngitur dedicado a Enrique, monarca al que el sabio arzobispo burgalés legitimaba equiparándolo con los grandes reyes conquistadores al representarlo montado a caballo: “Píntese el rey don Enrique sobre un caballo *** a la gineta *** porque usó mucho de esta suerte de caballería, armado porque desde las primeras estrenas de su reinado rompió guerra con los moros”.
Does this refer to his posture, or the type of horse? I don't understand the phrase.
