It was originally a sport for aristocrats and got its start in 711 during the coronation of king Alfonso VII, and the bulls were fought on horseback. King Phillipe V banned the sport for the aristocracy in 1724, because he deemed it set a bad example for the public. It became a commoners sport at this time.
