In the following 600 years, this competitive sport has always been regarded as a symbol of bravery and good fighting, and it is quite popular among Spanish nobles.
By the middle of the18th century, during the Bourbon Dynasty, the first king Felipe V hated this sport and thought that this cruel sport, which was easy to hurt members of the royal family, should be banned.
