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. Because the common people could not afford horses, bullfighting took place with matadors on foot. Now, it is a part of Spanish culture and tradition.
Bullfighting in its current form developed in Spain although many ancient cultures had some form of bull taunting or bullfighting.
